Viu Drakh´s music is extremely heavy. This, combined with the great sound that this recording has make a crushing combination. And they are really brutal. Their brutality relies in three elements: the guitars which are heavier than hell, the drums (this guy is a really machine man with an excellent sound) and the bestial vocals that make the music blast your brain with its strength. Starting with a melodic mid tempo in the first track (the title track) this guys start changing rhythm and speeding up showing their fierce music to the listener with no mercy. The combination between the guitars and the bass is crushing, using both of them very low riffs that sound better in this style of brutal music. People who like brutality and want a release with a great sound that make the results better should check this release with no doubt. Favorite tracks: "Mutant Gods", "Caravan" and "As the Dormant Awakes". Contact: www.moonstorm.de or www.viudrakh.de
