This is an album I picked up from Grindethic distribution for the low low price of £1.99. They have an excellent selection of low price extreme metal cds on their site and making such random purchases is my favourite way to find new and exciting albums.
Doom Syndicate play a combination of super chug death and faster tempo thrash. They obviously don’t like to be stuck in a single genre and splice their chunkier parts with widdly guitar leads to break it up. It creates a solid, heavy album with some great guttural roars and their performance is tight and impressively technical without sounding lifeless or artificial. The production is crisp, giving the tracks room to breathe and it helps the album’s good points to shine through. Particularly impressive tracks ar ‘Gathering the Armies of
Doom’ and ‘Sever the
Leech’ but the highlight is the Slipknot-esque blast of ‘Product of Environment’ which will lodge in your head for a number of days at least! It may never go down as a classic, nor even probably be that well known outside the underground at over 4 years old, but
Beyond Salvation is a solid, death-head friendly chugfest that boasts some technical virtuosity and enthusiasm for the music. Definitely worth a find and listen.
