Genre: Death Metal
Biography:
“The
band originally formed in 2011, and have had a few line-up changes. Though in
2015, they have completed the set up and discovered the sound they will be
carrying on with.
And
that is brutal.
They
want to destroy the stage with ground crushing bass drops, brutal high screams
descending into low tremors that will send shivers through you. Guitar solos
that will melt your brain and turn it to jelly. All carried along by the
smashing, thundering and quite frankly annihilation of the drums that will fuel
your adrenaline and make you want to throw down harder than an angry chef
raging over a burnt lamb shank.
This
is the End of Salvation!”
~~~~~~~~~~
From
the off you know something ominous is about to happen and it isn’t long before
it does! The anticipation breeds fear into your soul and shakes your very
foundation! The gruelling vocal edge gargles its utterings and then you are
truly hooked! It may only be a short introduction but it means business and piques
the interest nicely, if that is the word to use for a death metal band!
The
second track ‘God of Annihilation’ is much more forthcoming and brutal, with
its scathing lunge of rampant rhythms that march into battle and replenish the
ears from the short opening track. Captivating and cruel it badgers the senses
and paves the way for what is further on the agenda!
‘Serpent
Messenger’ again likes to make a beef about its presence as the prowling melee
continues with devastating effect! The rumbling blast beats and thumping
rhythms are indeed concocted to cause a stir and make a bold statement.
‘Resurrection’
holding its own as the feisty textures mesmerise with distinct fury and
aggression. As the grooves take over it is very clear that the band have you in
their sights and locked on target for annihilation of the very brutal kind!
‘Nightbringer’
knows just how to brutalise the audial cavities and wreaks its havoc almost
instantaneously. No surprise there really, as this savage genre only has one
thing on its mind and imposes its dirtiest encounter, unleashing a bruising
decaying outcome with all its might!
‘Monolith’
possesses a hard edged resonating sound that envelopes the senses and leaves
one feeling very exposed to its surrounding encounter. It harbours an urgent
angst within its core and made more urgent by the sound of sharp strings.
‘Devastate_Obliterate’
Back to the putrid vocal bait that sucks you into their fierce and intense
arrogance, with a very formidable gargle blasting and blast beats that
compliment it to the extreme
‘Arrogance’
A very apt title as ‘End of Salvation’ delivers it with success as a brooding
bass and inflamed melodic rhythms come crashing around your ears enveloping the
soul in this bone crushing track.
‘Worthless’
the drama continues as this track beats up a storm that can only cause a
tantalizing whirlwind of pleasure. Its rhythms are heavy and forthright as
expected and filled full of rancour and bite.
‘Fire
to the Flesh’ starts with a primal skulking of sorts and then unleashes a
terrifying vocal scourge as it creeps into the darkest recesses of the mind and
slowly infiltrates with utter abandon.
‘Tyranny’
is a superb track to end this bonanza album on! Its battering’s are equal to 10
on the Richter scale! The confrontations of such a track will surely leave
utter devastation in its path.
9.5/10
