Cult Peruvian Death Metal! Essential listening!
If you didn't know, this is actually gonna be my first review on this website, and it's gonna be a good one. Mortem is a killer OSDM band from Peru, that never really got that much attention, which is a shame. They manage to really capture the essence of stuff like early Slayer, early Possessd, and early Death. So, let's get right into the album.
The production for this album is pretty good, Not too overproduced, but still clear. The musicianship is tight and you can tell that the band is very skilled at their instruments. The drums are pretty much the usual for Mortem but I feel as if they threw in some more blast beats than usual, and these blast beats are generally very energetic and exciting.The riffs are aggressive and at times quite evil. I also find it pretty cool how some of the riffs have a bit more modern sound to them, it definitely helps to make the music a bit more unique. The leads on this album are very nice indeed, lots of variety and even some melodic ones which I love,they give off a very dark feel. The vocals are that same evil rasp that Fernan Nebiros has pretty much perfected. It frankly, sounds a little like Jeff Becerra of Possessed fame. What surprised me however, was how on Liquefied Blood Of The Saints (a killer track by the way) his vocals take a lower, almost guttural tone. I'm not complaining though, that sort of stuff really helps to give the album even more uniqueness. The only instrument that doesn't stand out much is the bass guitar, which is a shame.
All in all, this is a great album, that keeps you hooked and doesn't let go. The songs all are great, but the first half is probably the best. I know this was a pretty short review, but you should be listening to this album and the rest of Mortem"s discography anyways instead of reading this. Peace.
Standout Tracks: Angel of Apostasy. Horror Of The Unliving, and Liquefied Blood Of The Saints.
