lista zespołów Death Metal Bloodbath (SWE) Breeding Death

It's been a while since I've written a review, so I may be a bit rusty, but here goes.


This is one of my favorite death metal EPs. All three songs are solid as hell, each has a catchy riff while maintaining a level of intensity that rivals the early Swedish legends. The production leaves nothing to be desired, it's not squeaky clean, but is far from poor in any aspect. The guitarwork isn't exceptional, but effectively conveys the message, which in my eyes is far superior to flashy but meaningless shred. The drum work is done well, but again isn't anything special. Just straight-up, well-executed drumming that is always aurally pleasing. The vocals are the probably my favorite discrete part of this EP. They sound perfectly visceral while being always understandable, a trait not too commonly found, plus they just fit well with the rest of the music.


This album's main virtue, however, is its cohesion. Everything fits together very well, with practically no oversights/mistakes. Everything interacts perfectly with everything else, which scores more points in my book than anything else.
Funeral Furnace is the best track on the album, despite the comical lyrics. The melody at the end of the song sounds very reminiscent of the melody on Left Hand Path, which I very much enjoy.


Overall, this a solid release, Bloodbath's best work besides The Fathomless Mastery, and is worthy of praise for its excellent cohesion, even if it isn't the most original thing in the world.
