From Argentina a new entity of Finnish-style Death Metal worshippers joins the cult. Enter CEMETERY DWELL with their debut demo, out via Redefining Darkness Records on December 30th.
Pounding into life with a guttural blend of filthy guitars and relentless drums, the murky Death Metal certainly has that grotesque ambience that the Finnish bands are renowned for. The riffs are driven with plentiful bite alongside crashing cymbals and gruesomely low, bellowed vocals. Casting a spectral and dissonant spell into their music, Cemetery Dwell have a darkness that flows naturally from the putrid spew of crushing Death Metal malice. Old school shredding lurches across the tormenting rhythms with skilfully savage lead work as the rupturing backdrop of offal continues a pungent atmospheric stream. This is some really wicked material.
As the pulverising onslaught continues we see a refined and yet monstrously churned malignancy grow across the three tracks with putrefying destruction being retained throughout. While fairly fast-paced there is plenty of dismally macabre atmospherics in the grooving and grinding assault that are viciously enchanting. The occasional doomy break really emphasises the mood of the demo while keeping the morbidity right in the heart of the belching riffs and blundering drums. A monolith of extremity is build as these gross instrumentals entwine with the guttural vocals to ensure a visceral experience from start to end.
This is a totally ferocious debut demo showcasing tons of potential. Killer Finnish-style Death Metal worship with character and atmosphere to spare. The dynamics and contrast are there for an interesting listen as across 12 minutes the band deliver a murky storm of rancid Death Metal excellence. -8/10
