Here we have some killer death metal from Mexico. I’m a fan of ancient Mexican death metal. There used to be so many killer bands from down there. I have honestly lost track of the modern scene down there, or at least I’m not as connected to it as I once was. Hopefully that will change as now we have bands like Omision killing with their lethal dose of death metal terror. Roberto from Infinitum Obscure (he also jammed with Incantation and The Chasm in the past) and Joel, the original drummer from Sadistic Intent got this project together with singer/guitarist master mind Heriberto. It reminds me of the early works of Sadistic Intent. Total thrashing death metal with a dark atmosphere. It has touches of both the “Conflict Within” demo, as well as a little of the “Impending Doom” EP done by the Sadistic ones. The drummer on those recordings is on this one, so maybe that is a big reason. But it is a good thing to these ears. It is like “Pleasure to Kill” era Kreator mixed with the early Morbid Angel stuff. Which obviously means this is killer! Throw in the ancient Slayer influences and some Possessed, and you will know what to expect from these crazy fucks.
Right from the opening notes and riffs of the title track, you know you are in for some raging death mayhem. The guitar sound is a bit modern distortion wise (which is fine, it still sounds heavy). But the overall sound is old school. There is a haunting atmosphere that covers everything like a fog. It might have been recorded in an old mausoleum at the haunted cemetery. Or maybe recorded in an abandoned old church? There are good “roller coaster” type changes in every song. The tempo ranges from slow and evil banging doomy stuff, to all out fast rippers that shred the skin off and brutalize the wounds. The 3rd song “You Won’t Be Saved” is a great example of that. It starts off nice and slow, then builds up to total madness with the fast banging. The skank beat sickness on the next song “Assault in the Vatican” is awesome! This might be my favorite song on here. Each song stands out, with killer riffs and crushing drums. Although I do like a lot of “those bands”, it is nice to hear another form of the ancient death metal that is not an Incantation clone or sounds like Swedish death metal.
This is a killer album. Highly recommended for fans of the bands I mentioned above. And in reality, any fan of the true ancient way of olden death metal will want this album. 40 minutes of ripping and thrashing death metal that will leave you bloodied and missing limbs. A total straight forward death metal attack! Yet another killer release by Chaos Records.
