Dawn of Demise
A Force Unstoppable
Rating
Style: Death Metal
Release date: February 8th 2010
 

I say it again: The boys from Dawn of Demise just groove that inch harder than the rest.

Thus proved on the long-awaited second full-length by one of the brightest stars on the Danish death metal sky over the past few years. The recipe is not notably different from the debut album, 'Hate Takes Its Form', but, if anything, there is slightly less Nevermore and more Suffocation at play. Possibly more Slayer to that?

Scott Jensen has taken things one notch deeper compared to the last album, spurting a growl that sounds as if it comes directly from the belly of the beast. His brother and bass player Bjørn assists with a lighter growl on a few songs, and what an evil duo they form!

The tightness of Dawn of Demise is still amazing, given the variation and the band's complex approach to death metal. 

'A Force Unstoppable' is a bit like the first Lord of Rings film: It's big and heavy, but it still flies by.

I think it's safe to say already now that this will be one of the best metal albums released on Danish soil this year.

For lessons in groovy death metal try these: Amongst the Tortured and Juggernaut.

Buy by the thousands.
