Metal Blade Records

Homepage

This is unadulterated death metal at its finest, delivering a relentless sonic assault! The guitar riffs seamlessly shift through various tempos, blending perfectly with the visceral screams and deep growls of the vocals. This unique fusion catapults the band into a league of their own, showcasing an awe-inspiring and unwavering performance. Their music is distinctly unparalleled, undoubtedly deserving of nothing less than an 'A' rating. The intensity remains consistently at its peak, punctuated by an abundance of thunderous blast beats. Drawing comparisons to blackened death metal outfits like Chicago's Blood of the Wolf, there's an undeniable resemblance. While opinions may differ, I stand by my assessment.

Both the vocals and the music maintain an unyielding, unapologetic pace. The unmistakable aura of death metal electrifies every note. My introduction to Vomitory came through this album, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and I was genuinely blown away.

The music takes you on an exhilarating journey, constantly evolving and surprising, adding to its uniqueness and unpredictability. I wholeheartedly embrace every facet of this release, with the music reigning supreme. It's imbued with varying degrees of intensity, and with each spin, my affection for this album deepens.

Surprisingly, these musicians hail from Sweden but boldly diverge from the traditional Swedish guitar pedal sound. Their departure from the norm injects traditional death metal with a revitalizing twist. Frequent tempo shifts and vocal prowess set them apart. The drums flawlessly synchronize with the music, maintaining an impeccable rhythm. The vocals infuse an underground edge, and it's astonishing that they remain relatively undiscovered.

Their unrelenting brutality permeates every track on the album, captivating me entirely. There isn't a single song here that doesn't command my attention. This album enchants from start to finish. It's heartening to see them finally receive the positive recognition they deserve. A resounding thumbs-up for those who revel in the zenith of death metal!"
