12th chapter of the short reviews.
CINZAS – Demo I
Year of release: 2015 / 2018 (this release)
Label: Purodium Rekords
Rating: 2,3 / 10
The policy of some labels simply amazes with their generosity. Portuguese Purodium Rekords invests in the Haulix promo network (which costs good money) to promote such releases as this one. It's about the debut demo of a missing solo project, released digitally 3 years ago, and now re-released on the cassettes with a circulation of 66 copies. In my opinion, the money spent on promotion would be enough for one more release... and actually there is nothing to promote! CINZAS plays a dull slow metal with crazy moans instead of vocals, and the sound of the release reminds of the inglorious period of 2008-2012, when there was fashion for "DSBM" from the mother's bedroom. I thought that now they do not do it anymore. It's good that Purodium limited this release only to the cassette, although I won't provide even hard disk space for such stuff.
DESTROYER ATTACK – Solve et Coagula
Year of release: 2018
Label: Morbid Skull Records
Rating: 7 / 10
Good black metal of the goat containing a lot of admixtures of death and thrash. It is the music that you expect from the quartet of Ecuadorian muscular guys in iron and bullet belts. It is not inventive, but vital, vicious and quick. War until complete devastation! I also advise you to pay attention to the excellent design of the cover.
FUNERAL SUN – The Dragging
Year of release: 2018
Label: Godbox Records
Rating: 6 / 10
Traditional doom from the newly-made Spanish gang, released exclusively as MLP. In addition to its traditionalism, accompanied by a dense pleasant sound, nothing particularly stands out. Although no, on the second track there is a highlight - a guitar solo from Rob Barrett of CANNIBAL CORPSE. Other than that, it's just doom metal as is.
TEMPLE DESECRATION – Whirlwinds of Fathomless Chaos
Year of release: 2018
Label: Iron Bonehead Productions
Rating: 8,5 / 10
Stunning album of the Polish formation, which got into Blitz only because I definitely do not know how to talk about such releases in clear terms. Absolutely crushing black metal of death with a powerful sound reminiscent of PROCLAMATION, TEITANBLOOD, BLACK WITCHERY. In addition, it can boast of the real darkness that gushes from it's rotten womb. Buy or die!
ZOMBIEFICATION – Below the Grief
Year of release: 2018
Label: Doomentia Records
Rating: 5,7 / 10
Rather lightweight Mexican metal about zombies, death, magic of voodoo and so on. Reminiscent of late ENTOMBED and DISMEMBER. It's good when it is fast, otherwise it's not impressive.
