release notes:
For those uninitiated, you are going to get VERY predominant Kreator and
late-era Slayer vibes. You will notice it immediately in the vocals of
'Skullripper'. He has an angrier rasp very similar to our good fellow
Mille Petrozza. Also of note is that ┬╛ of the band are part of Azarath.
They have eschewed Black Metal influences and adopted the sound of those
aforementioned bands for this particular project. Musically, it is
running the same path as those that they are, for the most part,
emulating.
Throughout the album's 9 tracks, you can make the comparisons and hear
the similarities, so you can safely say where their influences lie. It
makes a case for one to say just where or what their own sound is. I will
say this, tho, the addition of Inferno to the ranks has upped the dynamic
and quality of their songwriting. Where, for the most part, the band's
material could be considered standard Blackened Thrash, but now with
Inferno behind the kit, it definitely adds those air-drumming moments.
Which I am 90% sure you all will be doing plenty of at any given moment.
Another thing I appreciated on the current release is the addition of
minor keyboard flourishes being added to the mix. They appear on various
songs and in subtle ways. I would say the final track 'The Temple of
Deciet Burns Bright' is where you will notice it primarily. It leans
greatly into the atmosphere of the closing track. They are also buried
low in the mix, so they are not taking center stage, like, say, in a
Dimmu Borgir sort of way, but they bring forth a bit of spice to the
proceedings and add a welcome texture to the songs themselves.
So if you can get past the name and possibly their slightly derivative
approach to the genre, you will find their material to be engaging for
the most part, but just don't expect the world to be set on fire.
