...And here we come again Russia. Those guys from Saint Petersburg have started their anti-religious crusade long time ago in 1990. If you consider such date to classify them as veterans of Russian death metal scene then let it be. They have countless releases shown to the world already but I actually meet the band for the first time.
This album starts off with intro which theme probably drives Christianity insane for ages, when they were a prey for lions on the arenas of the Ancient Europe. Could be quite disturbing if you like sounds of animals hunting and devour human victims on the eyes of thousands bloodthirsty crowd. This introduction should be done scarier if you ask me but it`s just quite intriguing for death metal album to begin...
Their music is a monstrous; condense on massive riffs and blasphemous death metal vocals. There are a lot of guitar shreds but when they focus more on heavy as fuck, grinding guitars then drums go crazy fast but precise. I clap my hands in response to technical performance they all contributed to this album. Songs are mature, brutal and I just can imagine how destructive force they must be when watching them live. It`s not that much technical death metal in meaning that it`s overproduced or anything like that. It`s more under control way of playing so the idea wise of the album is easy to catch, hear and enjoy. However, this album demands a bit focus from the listener as their death metal is well arranged. Finding all the best bits requires few approaches of the album which I love to do with this particular one! This is the way I discover the same music and albums over again so they never get old for me anytime I listen to them. I leave you with my full recommendation to Bestial Deform and their ...Ad Leones which for fans of Morbid Angel, Hate should be another perfect album to have.
