THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER - Abysmal

This is what a melodic death album should sound like. With precision in the songwriting, a solid production quality, insane vocals, and uncompromising way of each composition. The songs are chaotic, but well played out guitar/drum-wise. Each instrument was mixing with exactitude. I really enjoyed this album over their latest because everything on the production fit in. The melodies were catchy and uncompromising. The leads are superb and done immaculately. There's no letting up on the intensity of this album. It's in your face melodic death. The vocals taking right form both in low and screaming tones. The latter more so.

I thought that this deserved a better rating overall from listeners worldwide, but hopefully my score will boost the rating average. So, let me tell you why...these guys give a new meaning to the words "intense melodic death metal." They have a unique style musically. Not to mention constant screaming doused with some occasional low-bellowing vocals. It enhances their music, though the riffs are in an utmost full roar, barely slowing down. There are acoustic bits and pieces with the guitar, but VERY SHORT. These guys are very serious about their music and it shows on the recording of this album.
