Devilhorn mixes up a mighty infectious package of death metal
on their latest demo. They have a very potent mixture of taking Obituary-like
grooves with more chaotic ramming of the Deicide-order. Vocalist
Ville Ryöti has the Corpsegrinder Fischer school of guttural cookiedom in
firm check and the lyrical side of the songs keep in line with appropriate bloodshed
and skin removal.
The opening title track is a quick little fucker that feels perfect for keeping
the pit rolling strong. Some of the riffs border on thrash on occasions but
the vibes are overall deathy till the end. The production is excellent for a demo. Such work, and much worse, can be heard
on many official label-endorsed releases. Each member of the band definitely
has a skilled grasp of their instruments and the compositions maintain hookiness
in them amidst all the brutality. For all fans of death metal, especially of
the slightly older school variety, Devilhorn is a must-choice
to find out about. |
