To The Death

(Greyhaze)

Reviewed by : Greg Pratt
Rating : 7.5

To The Death is the fifth full-length for this Brazilian death metal gang, and it shows, with the ease with which they go from mid-tempo stompers to speedier, near-grinding death. It all sounds very Floridian, and very professional, and very slick. It's jarring when songs like 'Hate' and 'Your World's Trend' come along and do that clunky hardcore/death metal thing that countrymen RDP do all the time, with those barked gang vocal things going on, because that ain't something the FL DM faction engage in too often. But apart from that, man, tried and true solid old school death here, with little flourishes like what I can only assume is a bass solo in 'Smoking Mortal Remains' spicing things up in all the best of ways, the band not worrying about being technical or, really, cool in any way shape or form, instead just plowing ahead, all four faces down, grimacing, hair covering everything except the unabashed love of death metal, which comes through loud and proud in sludge-laden closer, and album highlight, 'Wolves Curse'.
