Supreme Terror

Mexican war metal mob Sacrocurse return with a brand new EP of nuclear violence.

Cinematic sampling opens the EP with the warfare sampling one heavily associates with this style of music though in a far more archaic manner. Shrieking vocals top a hammer array of drums and bestial riffing that concocts an impenetrable wall of violent sounds. Mighty grooves begin to pound through the raw mix with guttural vocals with a blasphemous storm of instrumentals to drive forth the monumental assault. Sacrocurse certainly deliver the chaotic and aggressive war metal glory in the vein of Impiety, Blasphemy and Diocletian with remorseless energy and precise ferocity. With a bit of thrash metal in the black/death mix we get some killer hooks that only accentuate the daunting and unapologetic sonic artillery. This can also be said about the frenzied lead work that cuts right through the mix gorgeously. A fantastic start to the EP indeed.

The gadarene charge through hellish infernos of pure malice does not falter in its disdainful conquering as more psychotic bursts of fierce war metal continually pummel us from all angles. This is malignant and unholy blackened death metal with an unmistakable passion for the old rituals without any complexity or nuance, just pure primal hatred. Though primitive, there is a tightness to the music that allows its brutish hits to be focal and all the more obliterating because of it. Without a moment of respite this EP drags us into a tornado of mystical, demonic tracks and spits out the carcass left behind.

A great example of war metal that holds no regard for modernity, only savage barbarity showcased in thrash-tinged blackened death metal of the fiercest nature. Allow your skull to be decimated by this pulverising EP at your own risk.
