█ Skull Crushing!! I'm sorry but those are the only █
█ words fitting of this band. Under The Grave are █
█ Montreal-based teenage newcomers, but trust me, █
█ with time they'll breathe harder down their older █
█ comrades's necks! Despite the fact that most band █
█ members are all 18 or close to it, its astonishing █
█ how mature they sound. Taking cues from swedish █
█ black/death metal bands for their their sound, █
█ adding just a tad of trash to the mix. It's all █
█ the more surprising that they've mastered that █
█ style right from the beginning. Indeed Until Death █
█ Takes Us All is a shotgun blast to the head, being █
█ so varied, melodic, brutal, versatile, that you █
█ cant help but bang your frigging head against the █
█ walls. Trust me, it is THAT good. █
█ Maxime Daigneault is the bellowing voice you hear █
█ on this record, and boy does this man sounds █
█ pissed off as hell. There's some variety to his █
█ vocals, switching from to a death to a black metal █
█ voice effortlessly. Dany Desnoyers and Olivier █
█ Dagenais deserve as much praise, belting out █
█ killer demonic and diversified riffs, covering all █
█ their trash/death/black influences, and it shows. █
█ A riff can start as brutally as a warhammer swung █
█ at your face, then mellow down just a bit to let █
█ some melody in, before goin at breakneck speed. █
█ They're very competent axe-men. Olivier Pinard is █
█ pretty good too, blending in nicely and filling █
█ all the gaps with some solid bass lines, groovy at █
█ times, other times as burning as sulfuric acid. █
█ Last but not least, Anthony Savoia. Wow. Need i █
█ say more? Obviously i do. They're not too █
█ complicated, although this man sure is a good █
█ technical basher, who can switch from normal beats █
█ to some pretty intricate drum fills. █
█ As mentioned above, taking their cues from the █
█ swedish metal scene, the same production was █
█ applied to this album. Which makes me think these █
█ fellow skull-crushers know perfectly well what █
█ they do and where they're going. The sound is a █
█ lil gruff, but clean enough to let you enjoy every █
█ musician's part. This was the road to take, which █
█ such monster songs as those. Polishing the sound █
█ even more may have taken a little bit of █
█ aggressivity off of their music and THAT would've █
█ been a real shame. I haven't had the chance to █
█ hear their self-released demo, but if this album █
█ is any indication, they're destined to go real █
█ far, if they keep it together and with some good █
█ promotion too. I hope they do both, so we may hear █
█ more from these men. 'Cause believe me or not, but █
█ Under The Grave is taking down names and will send █
█ all non believers to their fiery death!!! █
