REVIEW: DISINTER - WELCOME TO OBLIVION

 

DISINTER - WELCOME TO OBLIVION (DeadSun Recs. - 2000):  "The Sleeper Awakens" a really apropriate title for this song that opens the CD: it is like receiving a kick in the stomach ! It can awaken a dead !!This death metal combo is a really good one (specially the drummer with his double bass sounding through the whole album). This guys know how to create dark moods with fast riffs (see as an example "Welcome to Oblivion", the title track (02:10)). There are certain passages that I find more interesting than others like the riff in "Followed From Death" (0:50) that repeated through the song gives a great mood or the first riff in "The Sleeper Awakens" (before the first blast beat appears). "Descendant of Darkness" is a slower number with an interesting double bass drum pattern and I think is the heavier song in all the album because is darker, it is like a beast crawling in the shadows…interesting riffs. This is a really good CD for lovers of death metal !! My favorite tracks: "Descendants of Darkness", "Holy Parasites" (the slowest song…almost doom) and "Earthen Interment/ Torn from the grave".
