█ The 2-man unit - Jarno Nurmi on vocals and Tommi █
█ Gr÷nqvist on guitar, bass and drums - the guys who █
█ have previously well earned their spurs in some █
█ Finnish Thrash and Death metal groups, have pretty █
█ much found a perfect chemistry together in a new █
█ Death Metal outfit called DESECRESY. The guys' █
█ debut full-length studio effort, "Arches Of █
█ Entropy", which came out 2 years ago - also on the █
█ Spanish Xtreem Music, was already quite a beast in █
█ itself but I must admit it pales in front of █
█ DESECRESY's 2nd album, titled "The Doom Skeptron", █
█ which really hits the bull's eye as far as its █
█ song material on it is concerned. Jarno and Timo █
█ basically bring things back to the very roots of █
█ Finnish Death Metal - how it sounded like in its █
█ most recognizable and distinct form, sort of █
█ separating the famous Finnish Death Metal sound █
█ from the rest of the pack for its own advantage. I █
█ mean, that all-around frost-cold, haunting, █
█ oppressive and rotting smelling Death Metal was █
█ something that only the Finns seemed to do the █
█ best back in the day - and that's exactly what █
█ DESECRESY have also accomplished on their █
█ follow-up record, in such in a beautiful yet █
█ convincing way. It would be very easy to throw █
█ some positive reeking superlatives high in the █
█ air, just to express my undivided and pure █
█ enthusiasm about this release but then again I █
█ doubt it would hardly serve anyone's interest that █
█ much and properly enough as it should in the first █
█ place. Let me say this however instead. DESECRESY █
█ have found a somewhat perfect way to bring us the █
█ very best of the ancient Finnish Death Metal sound █
█ on "The Doom Skeptron", in which one is able to █
█ hear a thing from here and there, nicely shaping █
█ their sound around on those eerie, murky and █
█ corpse-heavy grounds of the disbanded ABHORRENCE, █
█ FUNEBRE, UNHOLY, RIPPIKOULU and the likes; those █
█ specific Finnish bands that made you hold your █
█ breath in sheer amazement whenever you listened to █
█ them. That's what "The Doom Spectron" does for its █
█ listeners at best - and I for one know, I am █
█ forever sold for DESECRESY's spine-chilling sound █
█ of true and ancient Finnish Death Metal. █
█ Bril-fuckin'-liant!!! █
█ █

█ █
█ Dave Rotten (frontman of the premier Spanish death █
█ metal band Avulsed and owner of Xtreem Music █
█ Records) has always been a man with a good ear for █
█ qualitative extreme metal. This time he offers us █
█ Desecresy - a two-men band (Tommy Gronqvist on █
█ guitars/ bass/ drums and Jarno Nurmi on the mike) █
█ from Helsinki,Finland. The guys have released █
█ their second full-length album "The Doom Skeptron" █
█ (their debut "Arches of Entropy" was unleashed █
█ upon the world in 2010 also via Xtreem Music) and █
█ if oldschool dark doom/ death metal happens to be █
█ your cup if tea then you definitely should listen █
█ to this CD. █
█ What you will find here is plenty of heavy death █
█ metal guitar riffs,rumbling bass lines (most █
█ evident on the tracks "The Sceptre of Damnation" █
█ and "Vortex Unwinding") and drumming that is █
█ sometimes hypnotizingly slow,sometimes furiously █
█ blasting. Jarno Nurmi's vocals are nothing but █
█ deep,rotund growls and his way of roaring makes me █
█ think of Incantation. The dense wall of sound █
█ created by Desecresy is varied by eerie guitar █
█ melodies that strongly contribute to the overall █
█ grim and ritualistic atmosphere of "The Doom █
█ Skeptron". There is a fine balance between █
█ predominantly fast tracks like "Burial Adorations" █
█ and "Decline Resplendence" on one hand and █
█ slow,crushing pieces like the above-mentioned █
█ "Vortex Unwinding" (which is also remarkable for █
█ its awesome melodic passages) and "The Sleep of █
█ Titans". The closing and longest track of the █
█ album titled "The Solemn End" reminds me of the █
█ Australian metal machines Desembowelment with its █
█ simple,industrialized drumming which supports the █
█ evil grunts of Jarno. And in terms of production █
█ "The Doom Skeptron" has oldschool raw sound which █
█ in my opinion is the best choice for Desecresy's █
█ style. █
█ Of course the band doesn't offer anything new on █
█ the extreme music field but in case you have █
█ hunger for some high-quality death/doom metal █
█ carrying the spirit of the early 90's then go out █
█ and buy this album. Desecresy wave proud the flag █
█ of Finnish death metal and deserve your attention. █
