Thought I forgot about him, huh? Oh no. There’s plenty of gifs, especially from this interview, to spread onto the timeline 😏 Tom Bones deserves more appreciation.
This album wasn’t at all what I was expecting! I really thought this would be a kinda standard old school death metal album with some fun riffs and cool moments, but ultimately something I’ll usually pass over to listen to my personal favs, but what I got was something different.
Yes, it’s definitely old school death metal in the vein of Autopsy and Morbid Angel but what really stands out to me with this record is the guitar solos and the vocals. Starting with the solos these things are Epic with a capital fucking E. A lot of death metal solos can fall into the “look how fast I can play” trap. Now that can be super impressive of course, but in general, I’d take a well constructed high intensity high melody solo over the guitar equivalent of button mashing any fucking day. And. Every. Fucking. Song. Has one of these amazing solos. Genuinely such a treat to listen to this guy shred.
The vocals also, to me, are way more clear and almost crust punk esc in their performance. You can really hear everything the guy is saying and the performance itself has a nice bit of melody to it. It’s not just a guy screaming. It’s super well integrated and well thought out.
On top of that, the drumming and bass playing also fuck and hold their own, and rhythm guitar does a great job at supporting the overall picture! Fucking pleasant ass surprise!
