ENTRAILS: WORLD INFERNO

ENTRAILS: WORLD INFERNO

Old-school Death-Metal is not dead, despite what some "trve" and "kvlt" fans may believe. For proof of this, check out Entrails' phenomenal new album, World Inferno. Packed full of, Entombed and Dismember worshiping putrid buzz-saw riffs and filthy death-growls, World Inferno is a sterling effort that is sure to please even the most avid Death-Metal maniacs. 
   Upon listening to Entrails, it is clear that these guys are more than just a nostalgia band, you can hear that they are obviously passionate fans and listeners of the old ways themselves, which is apparent throughout World Inferno, whether it is on the Vomitory-esque, "Into Eternal Fire", or "Serial Murder (Death Squad)", which carries clear echos of, At The Gate's seminal, Slaughter Of The Soul.
   The title track, "World Inferno", opens the album in top form, complete with an eerie introduction that then launches into a full throttle death storm, bringing the classic Scandinavian sound to your ears in corpse ripping style. "Condemned To The Grave", changes the pace marginally, with slow building, menacing riffs that are guaranteed to get heads banging and maybe even corpse rising from the crypts. "The Soul Collector" is another perfect example of Entrails' mastery, bringing the chugging to a rhythmic, almost groovy level, making it another standout track. "Suffer" turns the filth up to 11, in spectacular Death-grind fashion, armed with intense drumming and, of course, bucket loads of riffs, not to mention a delightfully simple chant-worthy chorus. "The Hour Of The Casket" is another heavyweight standout, embodying the very essence of what old-school Death-Metal is really all about. Closing the album is "The Blood Breed", an entirely evil affair that starts like much of the album, with fast paced riffing and drumming, dripping with grotesque brilliance, but the difference here is the incredible use of acoustic guitars and bellowing growls introduced midway through the track, that closes the album in a magnificent and memorable way.  
   All in all, World Inferno is an impressive album, full of the Death-Metal spirit and musical arsenal that makes it so appealing to the devoted masses. It may not be, Left Hand Path, or Last One On Earth, but it is certainly an enjoyable effort and a worthy descendant.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...
