Pandemonium

Let me start this review by saying that this album is fucking brutal and it is the best thing to ever come from Brazil!

I was blown away by the musicianship these guys possess! The riffs are very original, tasteful, and heavy. The guitar solos here are fast but tasteful and well executed. The drums remind me of Death's drum parts, which are very varied and technical. Bass is not very pronounced here but it creates a full sound. Tempo changes and harmonies play a huge role in this album.

The production on this album is clear, no instrument was overpowering another. There are two styles of vocals here: the traditional death metal growling vocals and black metal style screeches. The mixture of the two styles make this album very unique and interesting. High-pitched screams and screaches are found on almost every song to maintain the excitement.

Every song here is a killer from the straigtforwad death metal tracks to the death/thrash hybrid tracks but if i had to choose my favorites, I'd go with: the memorable, Horror And Torture; Towers On Fire; World Of Misery; and Pandemonium.

Bottom line: These guys mean serious business and their music is nothing short of kick-ass death metal perfection! Buy it.
