#FOR FANS OF: Death Metal, Cannibal Corpse

Definitely a solid release by this 5-piece act. I enjoyed the whole album. I thought that the vocals and the riffs were the best things about the album. They really know HEAVY guitar and hoarse voice. The sound quality here was outstanding as well. They remind me a bit of Cannibal Corpse, that's what I initially thought when I first heard this. Just the vocals aren't as fast. But still the music is awesome and the musicianship/songwriting was awesome. I didn't think any less than this album than a "75" rating. I felt that they really deserved it. All 40+ minutes here.

The music goes along well with the vocals. And the drums pack a sure punch to them! I didn't see any flaws here. They really are an interesting band. They know how to do the songwriting to a point to where it's a MONUMENT. I thought their most recent was better, but this one packs a punch to it as well. I hope that they continue to stay a 5-piece band. Usually bands with 4+ members makes a more well rounded band. And this is a great example of that. I felt that they really didn't have any weak points to them. The music is awesome in every respect. I feel that the only thing that they could step up are a little bit more original sound.

The production quality was top notch here. I didn't take any points off in that respect. You can hear everything mixed well on this one and they just do away with you from every respect. There were no gaps where they didn't deliver. This whole thing delivers. Just the leads could've been left out. I think that the rhythms were the best part of the album. The vocals were low-bellowing sort of voice. And everything just seemed to fit here from every aspect. There were no songs on here that lagged in any respect. I liked this from start to finish! But yeah, way a lot like Cannibal Corpse in their compositions.

I showed the band respect and bought the physical copy. I didn't know much about this band at first. Wasn't sure what to expect. They really blew me away. I enjoyed the entire CD. I think that you will too if you give it a fair shake. It may take time to get to liking this release, but I liked it right away. Definitely worth it's weight in gold. If you like death metal, you'll most likely like this one. Definitely a good release through and through. The music just blows you away. Get it! (Death8699)

Blood Red Throne - Blood Red Throne

#PER CHI AMA: Brutal Death, Malevolent Creation, Cannibal Corpse

I Blood Red Throne se ne fottono di tutto e di tutti: delle mode, delle novità e di qualsiasi altra cosa. Loro da 15 anni, cosi come Cannibal Corpse e Malevolent Creation (nomi non scelti a caso) da 25, continuano a pestare di brutto con il loro integerrimo brutal death, che con l’album celebrativo omonimo, giungono alla fatica numero sette, attraverso un feroce atto di forza e superiorità all’interno del panorama estremo europeo, alla pari solo con i Behemoth. Come al solito, il quintetto ormai guidato dal solo Død, vista la dipartita del “socio” Tchort prima di “Brutalitarian Regime”, si diletta sparandoci letteralmente sui nostri musi, nove ruvide tracce di uno scellerato death metal, nella sua forma più tenebrosa, ma tuttavia ricca di splendide aperture chitarristiche. “Soulseller”, “In Hell I Roam” e “Hymn of the Asylum”, rappresentano il mortifero trio di brani posti in apertura dell’album, contraddistinto da un rifferama ribassato, un blastbeat indemoniato, cavernose growling vocals (che fanno da contraltare a uno screaming acido), ma anche dotato di raffinati assoli e ottimi fraseggi. Non siamo certo di fronte a dei pivellini, anzi, i Blood Red Throne confermano la loro nomea di essere degli spaccaculi di prima categoria e lo dimostrano ampiamente con i fatti e con una perizia tecnica a dir poco invidiabile. “Primitive Killing Machine” ha un incedere piuttosto ritmato quasi thrash metal, dotata di un bel bridge centrale che lascia intravedere una parvenza di melodia centrale; ”Deatholation” torna a spaccare che è un piacere, pur non aggiungendo nulla di nuovo alla band scandinava e spingendomi a skippare al brano successivo, “Torturewhore” che mi violenta per la sua schizofrenica ferocia. Ubriacanti stop’n go, asperità dettate dai cambi di tempo, il grondante groove che permea tutti i brani e le tremende rasoiate inferte dalle laceranti chitarre, contraddistinguono questo nuovo inossidabile lavoro dei sempre più inossidabili Blood Red Throne, che ancora una volta si confermano alfieri del brutal death made in Europe. Una conferma! (Francesco Scarci)
