first reviews:
-DOOM TO GRIND ZINE-
Massive Assault are a band from the Netherlands that plays a very brutal form of death metal mixed with d beat crustcore and this is a review of their 2012 album "Death Strike" which was released by FDA Rekotz.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful tone with riffs that dominate throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast Sedish style death metal riffs that are very heavy and brutal sounding with a good amount of thrash and d beat influences and dark melodies, while the lead guitars are very dark death metal guitar solos and leads. Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams and samples, while the lyrics cover dark and hateful themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it. In my opinion Massive Assault are a very great sounding Swedish style brutal death metal/d beat/crust band band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Driven Towards Death" "Finished Sympathy" "Dismal Life" and "Chained". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Death Strike [2012]
Massive Assault - Face crushing Death Metal!

Hoogeveen's own war death metal face rippers are not afraid to tear it up on this monster album! This mean bastard is mixed perfectly, and the only reason that the mix is worth mentioning is because it is so hard to capture that OSDM sound the way they did twenty years ago. The album art really paints a picture for how great the album is going to sound. Not to judge by its cover but the cover just screams Bolt Thrower and many other veterans from Sweden. But enough about the awesome quality of the CD.

It begins with a very short clip of two soldiers yelling at each other for about 2 seconds and then just unleashes the fury with heavy death metal hits and furious drumming! The interesting thing about their guitar work is that if this album were mix, or maybe the vocals being different, this could almost pass as a crusty war album. Especially if they decided on a different logo and album cover, this could easily sneak by as another genre. That really adds a interesting twist in this album, with just those punky crust riffs they dish out to keep the energy pumping.

Don't think for a second that this is just a crust album mixed like death. That is entirely not it. If you listen to the beginning of the song "Pride" it has some melodic elements that are very prevalent throughout the CD. Then it may move down to another Entombed sounding riff then maybe something crusty. The vocals on this are very death metal. He sounds very swede death. Like, the singer of Grave, or oddly enough, early Hypocrisy, which is odd be cause that band never makes it to my player. They do sound very similar though.

This is a very unique mix of music here and a very solid release. Any death metal fan would defiantly love this. It would be awesome to see these guys on the Obscene Extreme line up! They would fit perfectly. Next time they are in the states it would be well worth it to check them out!
