One of the most brutal US death metal bands is back. Yes, Deeds of Flesh comes back from hell to crush us with their amazingly brutal death metal. The music here is fast, but I think that this band designs all their tracks in order to crush and disembowel you even in the slower parts. In fact I think that the better riffs are the ones like the one in "An Eternity of Feasting and Brawling at 2:26....amazingly crushing and followed then by some riff with pinch harmonics that nearly decapitates the listener with their power. The sound here is amazingly good and that adds a lot to the final result. Specially I would like to remark how well mixed are the drums and fundamentally the ride cymbal and the double bass which are fundamental for Deeds of Flesh´s music. Along with the Cinerary one this is the most brutal album of the month !!! Favorite tracks: "Contest of Wills", "Fulfilled in Warfare" and "Ideal Genocide". Contact: www.uniqueleader.com
