10/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This Austrian band brings us absolutely bestial death metal that's packed full of intensity and violence, especially when they perform a blast. The riffs are straight up bulldozers, tempered here and there with little runs, and occasionally backing down during verses to let the music breathe, only to dive right back into a blast at just the right time. There's a lot of thrash influence at work here during their "slower" moments, and it's where they show off their chops a little with interesting leads and little embellishments here and there. They're at their strongest when blasting, and I've not heard too many other bands do it this violently and with this much urgency. The drummer is a fuckin' beast. The vocals duel back and forth between high and low, the high vocals reminding me of Pete Helmkamp and the lows reminding me of Dallas Toller-Wade. This is a perfect record and I highly recommend this to all the true deathmaniacs out there reading this. This needs to get picked up by a label immediately for physical release.
