7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Once it comes to Eastern Europe, the languages become totally alien to me, based as they are more on Slavic languages than Romance languages. I definitely prefer my metal to be in English (or maybe Spanish, since I understand a little), but that's just because I can't speak anything else. I decided to check Ver out based on the inscrutable and horrific cover art. Ver is apparently Hungarian for "blood," and that's a fine name. It's nice and short and even dumb monolingual Americans like me can remember that. I hear some of the usual suspects in their sound - plenty of Autopsy, Entombed in the faster parts, perhaps some early Morbid Angel as well, and Black Sabbath in the doomier sections. It's an enjoyable mixture. It's also thoroughly in the '90s worship camp of death metal, and their playing is true to the style. It's real death metal for real deathmaniacs. This is just a good, solid death metal record with decent riffs and good playing overall.
