In the Swedish D-beat tradition, this band follows the path that
Entombed and Grave have paved. Within 10 seconds they had my attention. The
typical Swedish guitar sound in combination with the groovy drum style in the
song "Swallowed By Darkness" convinced me immediately. Put on top of that the
grunts of David Nilsson and you have the ideal combination.
The
band already released their debut 'Dragged To the Altar' back in 2011. After
that they went touring and due to line-up changes it took them quite some time
to release this second full length. After the first song it is go go go! A feast
of recognition and up-tempo songs like "The Crawler" are varied by the more
grooving ones like "Overwhelmed". The bass rumbles, the guitars groan with
pleasure and the drums bounce like a bike on cobblestones. I already said it
before, I still like the old school Swedish death metal like Entombed, Grave and
Dismember used to play it. Earlier this year Entrails already showed us how to
do it and now there is Feral.
For
fans of Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Ribspreader, Paganizer, Bloodbath and stuff
like that!
