Drawn And Quartered - Hail Infernal Darkness
|
| Crushing death metal... |
|
|
This album is by far the cleanest Drawn And Quartered album i've ever heard. Point.
The music oscillates between slow, old school crunch and breakneck speed;
these guys bring together everything that they are known for, (brutal) death metal with doomy, twisted passages.
Musically, this is a great album. The riffs are well-placed and structured,
and are not very simplistic, albiet far from complicated or impossible.
The whole album is extremely groove-a-liscious... but this is what you expect from Drawn And Quartered. \m/

Pungent Stench - For God Your Soul...For Me Your Flesh
|
| a 'classic'-dm marvel... |
|
|
Absolutely great, between the 10 best 'old-school-dm' albums ever, imo.
Everything from the first till the last song is perfect: this is now pretty difficult to find
but trust me, it's well worth the search; 10 tracks of darksome, fearful, horrific (you name it!) evil.
Music so powerfull, and full of feeling not hundreds of bands ever managed to reach to a level like that.
Guitars and vocals taken from nightmares, haunting atmosphere... a true masterpiece;
this is what death metal should sound like and gosh what an awesome production!
Only for those who can appreciate... "CHEERZ!"

Dehumanized - Prophecies Foretold
|
| Dehumanized \m/ |

Let me start this review by saying that this album is really fucking good... point!!!
Musically speaking this band is superb. The guitars are very brutal and the songs are filled with very powerful, heavy, and diverse riffs.
The drumming is fast, precise, and varied – this latter one being a very important characteristic as many brutal death metal bands
have a fast but repetitive drumming which becomes just plain monotone, this being the case with bands like Nile.
In respect to the technical aspect, the songs are very well elaborated, filled with many details that make songs very appealing to the ear.
The songs are carefully embellished with rhythms and melodies that are original and complex,
so those who believe that this genre is way too saturated with bands that sound very alike to others need to check out this album right now!

Fleshkraft - First Harvest
|
| killer-album !!! |
|
|
Fleshkraft is, quite simply put, great. Theses guys really know how to get your head banging.
Fleshkraft mixes groovy guitar rythms, powerful drumming that doesnt repeat itself like in most death metal bands now days, and the brutal vocals of Miksu Forsberg.
Sometimes the guitars even sound somewhat...how would i put this...heavily grungy, but in a good way.
Theres more variation in the guitar work than most dm bands care to put into their music also.
Every song on this album is great riff after riff, brutal and gory vocals,
stomach churning drums this cd is a headbangers dream and a true metal classic i recommend this to any fan of the metal genre.

The Matt Parsons Band - Alas, Tyranny
|
| Fresh |
|
|
Judging by the band’s name you’d never expect anything extreme.. that’s not the case, you get a healthy death/black metal mixed with some melodic elements.. a little something for every taste.. very fresh sound, good therapy for stress.. a very nice surprise this young band, this is just an EP but if the follow-up will be at the same level we can expect seeing them on the big tours.. congratulations and looking forward for the album..

Hate Eternal - King Of All Kings
|
| The hammer |
|
|
This could very well be in a top 10 all-time death metal albums.. best word to describe it is: relentless.. that’s right, relentless death metal attack is what you can listen for 33 minutes, all quality, no filler here.. killer riffs + immense drums + aggressive vox = death metal masterpiece.. half an hour of insane mosh-pit..

Arkona [RUS] - Ot Serdca K Nebu
|
| Slava Rus! |
|
|
Maybe the most beautiful epic/folk/pagan I’ve ever listened to.. of course, it comes from Russia who seem to have the best scene when it comes to this.. you can really sense that pagan vibe floating throughout the album.. so, beautiful Russian folk mixed with metal, even some black metal traces.. listen to the amazing “Slava Rus” (“Hail Rus”), it will make your blood boil.. truly impressive and if you do speak Russian I would only imagine that it would be even more so.. for all people who are a bit nostalgic (sensitive too)..

Sear Bliss - Phantoms
|
| Hungary's best |
|
|
Probably my fave band of Hungary’s great BM scene.. one of the few bands who have a sound of their own (Hungarians have lots of original ones), easy to recognize, especially due to the use of a trumpet.. don’t expect jazzy influences though, they manage to fit that instrument into their atmospheric black metal.. sometimes the extensive use of keys makes the album sound a bit symphonic.. they do not neglect the fast black metal parts so in the end you got a nice balance between melody and aggressiveness.. a severely underrated band (and album too)..

Kampfar - Heimgang

This is the fourth full-length album by Kampfar (released on September 26th, 2008 by Napalm Records). They succeeded in making a really good album in a perfect quality.
The formation of the bands has been unchanged for 15 years, so they have had a lot of experience in music, and have got used to each other. It's also a guarantee of a good album. Their songs are individual, although they don't play so difficult music and guitar solos. They also use sound effects in some of the songs on this album.
The first song (Vantro) is a good intro of the album, then the song Inferno gives us a fresh impetus to the following songs, because it's fast and heavy. The vocals (by Dolk) are very cool in all of the songs, and their rhythm is fast and melodic. The last song (Vandring) is a bit mournful and slow, so it's a perfect end of the perfect album.
