9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS

Resurrected from Germany return with their eighth full length, and the first in nine years. This was always a band that I was aware of, but had never bought any of their records for some reason. In retrospect, I need to go backward in their back catalog and get some of this stuff! On this record they offer up more of their patented death metal with grind overtones. Their style is very much in the vein of the Floridian masters Malevolent Creation, perhaps mixed with a tiny bit of Immolation, Dying Fetus, and Hateplow. The vocals are a deep roar, a powerful and throaty style that has absolutely no fucking weakness in it. The growls are expressive and creative and the vocal patterns are quite good. He can also deliver a guttural that shames most other singers that try it. The production is a solid modern death metal sound which takes away a bit of their personality but their songs more than make up for it. The riffs are sublime, full of violence, with catchy hooks everywhere, and the songs are focused with ferocity. I can't believe I missed out on this band for so long and never bought any of their material. I have a feeling that's about to change. That logo is still no good, though.
