An
English 4-piece that has already released an EP called 'The Heathen Throne' back
in 2008. The English press was rather positive about this EP and band, although
that doesn't have to say a lot; sometimes they are too positive about their
inhabitants. This time however they told the truth.
The
music sounds rather old-school, but has a certain groove and modern breakdowns.
They add the necessary melody at times and with the riffs Alex Butler produces
this is a good album. Besides producing nice riffs, Alex takes care of the
vocals too. He has a nice low grunt and puts in some variety. Because of the
melody in the songs it doesn't sound brutal all the time, but this is just what
the songs need not to sound-a-like each other. I think that fans of Benediction,
Entombed, Edge of Sanity, and old In Flames will like this, but also those who
like Illdisposed or even perhaps Carcass (riffs). Fans of groovy death metal
with a bit modern touch know what to do.
