PURGATORY
- Apotheosis of Anti Light
War Anthem Records
This band delivers an extraordinary dose of unrelenting death metal brutality. Their vocals are ferociously savage, and their guitars maintain a relentless, breakneck pace. Their expertise in crafting outstanding death metal shines throughout their approximately 45-minute album, making it a must-listen. I discovered this band thanks to a friend, and it was an excellent recommendation!
I thoroughly enjoyed this entire release; it's
flawlessly executed and incredibly heavy. The vocals intensify the experience,
complementing the lightning-fast guitar work. The band maintains their ferocity
from start to finish, making every moment explosive.
What I particularly appreciate are the catchy and
distinctive riffs, occasional guitar harmonies, and impeccable lead guitar
work. The heaviness never wanes, with only slight variations in tempo at times.
Expect a barrage of blast beats and tremolo picking on the guitars, ensuring
that the riffs remain incredibly catchy.
These German musicians possess a unique sound, not
borrowing from the Swedish death metal scene like some bands tend to do. Their
individuality shines through, and the drumming is undeniably remarkable. I'm
absolutely thrilled with what I've heard from them!
The sound quality is top-notch, and the production is
of high quality. It's often challenging to find acts with such polished
recordings, but this one truly does justice to the album. I hope these guys
continue to thrive; they've been around since the early '90s, and I'm just
discovering them now. Better late than never! Their music and vocals are captivating,
and their songs are both potent and relentless. The intensity hardly lets up,
making this album a relentless onslaught of brutality.
While the vocals may take a bit of getting used to for
some listeners (including myself), they undeniably suit the music. Some
standout tracks to explore include "The Moaning of Dismal Halls,"
"Deny! Deny!! Deny!!!" and "Pantheon of Slaughters."
However, the entire album is a masterpiece, showcasing their musical prowess.
In conclusion, this band excels in the realm of death
metal. They maintain an unyielding intensity throughout the album, and their
vocals, coupled with the exceptional drumming, are awe-inspiring. If you're a
fan of bands like Dying Fetus, old Deicide, or the Chicago-based group Cardiac
Arrest, this album is an absolute must-listen!
