Immortal Unholy Triumph

Don't let the title of this disc deceive you - this is not Dimmu Borgir's hidden treasures Part III. This is fucking DEATHMETAL! So, go away wuss. Run home and cry to mama!

Now, over to the album. Most people always talk about Krisin, Rebaelliun and Abhorrence when it comes to Brazil and deathmetal. Why the fuck no one ever mentions this band is a question to me! This band play some pretty good deathmetal in the usual brazilian-vein riffwise but they're different in one big aspect: They've toned down the blastbeats quite dramatically. Sure, they definitely have blastbeats and those are quite widely used. But in comparison to let's say, Krisiun, who is a big and long blastfest Nephasths use of them is quite limited. Don't get me wrong here folks, I definitely love Krisiun when I'm in the right mood for some ultra-brutal monotonous blasting, but this is music most people can digest without risking a week-long headache.

The songmaterial is rather strong throughout this whole disc, and most of the songs have something that catch your attention and make you wanna listen to it again. The tempo is pretty varied, although most songs are faster ones that undoutebly will kick your nuts in. But the thing is that even if the tempo is high most of the time, more or less all of the songs have parts in them where the tempo is changed, and you get a small and much welcomed break in the vicous speed / blastattack. It's even a bit groovy at times! The best thing about this whole album is the sound on the drums though, I love every single bit of it. Top notch deathmetal production from the very beginning to the end.

So, by reading this you'll most certainly wonder why I don't give this album a higher score? Well, while it's good shit it is not anything groundbreaking or anything we haven't heard a hundred times before from other scenes than the brazilian. But the score I gave is rather high anyway (don't give every single goddamn album I listen to and like "100%!" just because I enjoy it the first time it's plopped into my stereo) and this album deserves it.

Simply put: A really good album worth picking up if you see it and if you're into deathmetal. 'Nuff said!
