│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Don't fix if it ain't broke." These words are ║ │
│║ both describing this album and LOTD philosophy. ║ │
│║ "Ravenous Plague", as a successor to a very good ║ │
│║ "Descent Into Chaos" album, is the continuation ║ │
│║ of the successful formula with which LOTD had ║ │
│║ launched themselves on top of the death/thrash ║ │
│║ metal genre. For fans, this are potentially good ║ │
│║ news but for those who are looking for something ║ │
│║ new and innovative - not really. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Ravenous Plague" begins with a somewhat ║ │
│║ superfluous intro and it appears that the intro ║ │
│║ itself is connected with the album cover. After ║ │
│║ one and a half minute of waiting , LOTD strikes! ║ │
│║ The explosive entrance with the song "Howling ║ │
│║ for Armageddon" is commendable and gives the ║ │
│║ listener an idea of what he can expect from this ║ │
│║ album. When the first notes strike you can feel ║ │
│║ the aggressiveness and speed and this concept ║ │
│║ remains to the album's end. There are no slower ║ │
│║ songs or some kind of an innovation - this is a ║ │
│║ standard LOTD and changes are actually - ║ │
│║ undesirable. Why to change a successful formula? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The production is much better than on previous ║ │
│║ albums and you can easily hear the polished and ║ │
│║ cleaner sound. The album itself is very pleasant ║ │
│║ to listen to and it's a real pleasure to clearly ║ │
│║ hear the guitar, drums and powerful vocals. If ║ │
│║ truth be honest, that is what I expected because ║ │
│║ LOTD is now signed to Napalm Records. An ║ │
│║ apocalyptic atmosphere pervades the entire album ║ │
│║ in both musical and textual aspect. Unlike past ║ │
│║ albums, riffs are more memorable than before and ║ │
│║ they are also really catchy, while solos are ║ │
│║ frenetic - as expected. This is due to a new ║ │
│║ guitarist Twan van Geel, who brought a new ║ │
│║ energy to the band and he knows how to show it. ║ │
│║ Maurice Swinkels's vocals are fitting perfectly ║ │
│║ with the music and you can understand what he is ║ │
│║ singing, which is uncommon in death metal genre. ║ │
│║ Understandable and brutal - that's how Swinkels ║ │
│║ sounds. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ However, it should be noted that the songs from ║ │
│║ this album are not too much different from each ║ │
│║ other. Although each song has its own ║ │
│║ characteristics, all of them are made ??by the ║ │
│║ same concept. Whether it's good or not - depends ║ │
│║ on the listener. Fans will not mind too much, ║ │
│║ but what about the others? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All in all, the year of 2014 is successfully ║ │
│║ opened and LOTD did not disappoint - they did ║ │
│║ exactly the opposite. It seems that the guys ║ │
│║ from Holland are finally ready to sit on the ║ │
│║ throne of the extreme metal scene and that in ║ │
│║ the future we can expect only better stuff. ║ │
