Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/puteraeon-mountains-of-madness-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Puteraeon – Mountains of Madness Review</a></p><p><i>By Tyme</i></p><p><span>As embedded into the fabric of horror as the works of H.P. Lovecraft are, so too are the myriad contributions of one Dan “The Man” Swanö enmeshed into the Swedish death metal scene. These two titans’ paths cross on </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span>, the fifth long-player from Sweden’s </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span>, who’ve tread the left-hand path of genre forbears like </span><strong><span>Grave</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>Entombed</span></strong><span>, and </span><strong><span>Dismember</span></strong><span>, peddling Lovecraftian Swedeath since 2008. After debuting in 2011 with </span><em><span>The Esoteric Order</span></em><span> and through 2020s </span><em><span>The Cthulhian Pulse: Call from the Dead City</span></em><span>, </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> has four albums of fair to middling Swedish death under its belt. With </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span>, its second album helmed by Swanö for Emanzipation Productions, </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> has fully embraced the Cthulhu Mythos, penning an ode to one of Lovecraft’s most popular novellas. Some pressure comes with Dan Swanö’s quote, ‘I dare say this one will go down in the history books as one of the best Swedeath releases ever,’ yet these are the stakes for </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span>. All that’s left to hear is if </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> has what it takes to honor one of horror’s most influential writers while leaving a lasting mark on a scene rich in death metal history.</span></p><p><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> takes an Azathothian leap forward with </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness </span></em><span>while still keeping the HM-2 pedal firmly to the metal. Jonas Lindblood and Rune Foss put a big fat checkmark in the Swedeath box, leveling tons of fat riffs blazoned in those tried-and-true buzzsaw tones while dotting this frigid landscape, too, with harmoniously melodic leads and solo work that sticks long after the last note has floated into the frosty ether (“The Nameless City”). Even as </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> weaves in some icy black melodicism that casts </span><strong><span>Old Man’s Child</span></strong><span> shadows (“I Am the Darkness”), no one will mistake </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> for anything but quality Swedish death. And while the </span><strong><span>Unleashed</span></strong><span> speed of the riffs on “Remnants” or the </span><strong><span>Bloodbath</span></strong><span>ic cadence and horrific </span><strong><span>Sabbath</span></strong><span>ian trills of “The Rise of the Shoggoths” may warrant comparison, </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> solidifies </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> in a sound all its own, one that is more engaging and mature, filled with cinematic majesty and excellent performances.</span></p><p></p><p><span>Shifting its aesthetic, </span><strong><span>Puteraeon </span></strong><span>has traded the thorny logo and cartoonish covers for a tasteful font and excellent artwork by Ola Larsson, both dripping with a seriousness that evokes a strong movie poster vibe. Similarly, the songwriting on </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> draws listeners further into its harrowingly cinematic, Lovecraftian experience with an ever-flowing stream of atmospheric nuance. Whether it’s the creepy leads and monstrous chords that bring to life the “Horror of the Antarctic Plateau” or the delicate, trepidatious piano and swirling screams of “Gods of Unhallowed Space,” </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> casts earthly realms aside, establishing </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span>‘s dominance and reminding us just how inconsequential we humans are. Within the span of its forty-minute runtime, and with nary a moment wasted, </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> has opened a portal into a nether world, expertly manifesting Lovecraft’s vision through music that demands attention. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p>As <strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span>‘s riffs and melodic leads swirl and swarm like a Cthulhian mist, Daniel Vandija’s bass and Anders Malmström’s devastating drums lurk beneath like hulking, tentacled behemoths. Swanö found the perfect amount of space in the mix to showcase this rhythm section’s talents. Vandija shines brightest with Steve Harris-like flair throughout </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span>. Whether coalescing with the harmonic leads in “The Land of Cold Eternal Winter” to create a crushing heaviness or laying the soft-handed foundation for the atmospheric interlude of “The Nameless City,” his contributions make both tracks absolute album highlights. </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span>‘s last cap feather belongs to Lindblood and his bestial throat work. In tandem with Foss’s backing vocals, whether guttural (“The Rise of the Shoggoths”) or clean (“The Nameless City,” “Watchers at the Abyss”), the two men deliver a devastatingly brutal performance that leans toward the inhuman. I found almost nothing of importance to critique other than perhaps a slight drop-off in the songwriting in the album’s second half, but that’s a near-inconsequential quibble. </span></p><p><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> succeeds as a cinematically dramatic, black-tinged slice of Swedish death metal, serving as </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span>‘s finest moment. Maintaining a consistent lineup since forming, </span><strong><span>Puteraeon</span></strong><span> has matured into a merciless machine intent on destroying your ears with Swedeathly intent. Whether or not it will stand as one of the genre’s best releases ever, only time will tell, but </span><em><span>Mountains of Madness</span></em><span> has withstood this <span><strong>Tyme</strong></span>‘s test and is thereby worthy of yours. </span></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320kbps mp3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://emanzipation.dk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Emanzipation Productions</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://puteraeon.bandcamp.com/album/mountains-of-madness" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PUTERAEON/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.puteraeon.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Puteraeon.com</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: May 30th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/bloodbath/" target="_blank">#Bloodbath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/emanzipation-productions/" target="_blank">#EmanzipationProductions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/may25/" target="_blank">#May25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mountains-of-madness/" target="_blank">#MountainsOfMadness</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/old-mans-child/" target="_blank">#OldManSChild</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/puteraeon/" target="_blank">#Puteraeon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/swedish-metal/" target="_blank">#SwedishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/unleashed-metal/" target="_blank">#UnleashedMetal</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/pyre-where-obscurity-sways-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pyre – Where Obscurity Sways Review</a></p><p><i>By Dear Hollow</i></p><p>Swedeath is one of those games I have zero skin in, but its close overlap with hardcore-influenced death metal and death ‘n roll makes that relationship complicated. Like I could not be bothered by <em>Left Hand Path</em>, but <em>Wolverine Blues</em> is a stalwart among my music collection; <strong>Bloodbath</strong> is regrettably not an act I return to regularly,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/pyre-where-obscurity-sways-review/#fn-210619-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> but I consider <strong>Black Breath</strong> one of those rare successful intersections of grind, death metal, and death ‘n roll. My point is, I don’t know where the line is drawn between these styles but I know I like some of it and then can’t be fussed about the rest of it. With <strong>Pyre</strong>, the jury’s still out.</p><p><em>Where Obscurity Sways</em> is the Saint Petersburg quartet <strong>Pyre</strong>’s third full-length, and it wavers between full-on <strong>Entombed</strong> worship and something resembling <strong>Fuming Mouth</strong>. Professing a frigidity more closely resembling black metal coursing throughout, <strong>Pyre</strong> offers chunky riffs, feral vocals, tense tremolo and chuggy shreds, and a bouncy sense of ubiquitous buzzsaw and passages of doomier tempos, alongside a wailing lead guitar whose rip-roaring solos are owed to multiple members’ contributions to the traditional heavy metal sister act <strong>Blazing Rust</strong>. <strong>Pyre</strong> throws the kitchen sink at us, blurring the lines between hardcore- and Swedeath-influenced death metal, boasting that black metal chill and no-holds-barred attitude – only for <em>Where Obscurity Sways</em> to go in one ear and out the other.</p><p></p><p>That’s not to say you won’t swing your fists and break your neck across <em>Where Obscurity Sways</em>. Big groovy meatheaded fun is front and center with <strong>Pyre</strong>, a monosyllabic approach that’s as effective as its moniker, despite its various experimentalisms. In the sweet spot that finds itself between chunky riffs, wailing leads, and punishing weight at the mercy of the shifting tempos (“Murderous Transcendence,” “Writhing Souls”), the album pumps adrenaline, utilizing sticky chugging riffs as both capitalization of crescendo and simmering burn. When black metal rears its despondent head (“Murderous Transcendence,” “Prognostic of the Apocalypse”), the sound is transported to a cold second-wave atmosphere that it aims for. Composition is precise and effective, as a smart use of shifting tempos and proper utility of punk beats lead to satisfying conclusions of both intensity and doom (“Where Obscurity Sways,” “Pestilential Fumes”). Barked and howled vocals, provided by bassist Dym Nox, land squarely in crusty territory throughout, although the isolated occurrence of death metal gutturals (“From the Stygian Depths”) is a welcome change of pace for <strong>Pyre</strong>.</p><p><strong>Pyre</strong>’s monotonal vocals and inconsistent uses of tempos keeps it from achieving its true potential. The Russians run quite similarly into the same issues as Arizona’s deathgrind/death-doom band <strong>Thorn</strong>, in which the atmosphere and weight is communicated well enough, but nothing more breaks through the surface. <em>Where Obscurity Sways</em> is entirely inconsistent, <strong>Pyre</strong>’s tracks blur together in monotonous doom sprawls, but then utilize different tricks for each half of the album: the first half weaponizes wailing leads and ominous melodies, while the second dwells entirely in darkened tremolo. Each has its highlights (“Where Obscurity Sways,” “Pestilential Fumes”) and their droning sloggers (“Domains of the Nameless Rites,” “Chanting Ancient Incantations”). While the two instrumental pieces are decent enough to establish a semblance of atmosphere, their motifs are not utilized across the rest of the tracks for it to stick. In true crusty fashion, <strong>Pyre</strong> saturates its sound into a crusty, HM-2, Swedeath goo, so it’s easy to let the album at large settle into the background.</p><p>Apart from “Murderous Transcendence” and “Writhing Souls,” the whole of <em>Where Obscurity Sways</em> hangs out in relatively decent yet ultimately forgettable territory. Somehow <strong>Pyre</strong> makes the album seem too long even at a very reasonable thirty-six minutes, but when several songs blur together into a featureless expanse, it’s difficult to track. Some tracks are smartly composed, others painfully dull. Despite its attempt to blend Swedeath, hardcore, doom, and black metal, it keeps tripping itself up with inconsistent tempos and motifs. Utilizing more death vocals, sticky chugs, and black metal, <strong>Pyre</strong> will have a winning formula. As it stands, <em>Where Obscurity Sways</em> stays obscure.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 2.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://www.osmoseproductions.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Osmose Productions</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://pyredeathmetal.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">pyredeathmetal.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="http://facebook.com/pyredeathmetal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/pyredeathmetal</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> January 31st, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-breath/" target="_blank">#BlackBreath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-metal/" target="_blank">#BlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/blazing-rust/" target="_blank">#BlazingRust</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/bloodbath/" target="_blank">#Bloodbath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathDoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/entombed/" target="_blank">#Entombed</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/fuming-mouth/" target="_blank">#FumingMouth</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hardcore/" target="_blank">#Hardcore</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jan25/" target="_blank">#Jan25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/osmose-productions/" target="_blank">#OsmoseProductions</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pyre/" target="_blank">#Pyre</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/russian-metal/" target="_blank">#RussianMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/thorn/" target="_blank">#Thorn</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/where-obscurity-sways/" target="_blank">#WhereObscuritySways</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/moondark-the-abysmal-womb-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Moondark – The Abysmal Womb Review</a></p><p><i>By Tyme</i></p><p><span>Thirty years is a long time to spend brewing up a debut album, but for Sweden’s </span><strong><span>Moondark</span></strong><span>, it’s taken precisely that. Neither the result of sloth nor overwrought perfectionism, </span><strong><span>Moondark</span></strong><span>‘s cadre of musicians—composed of current members from </span><strong><span>Interment</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>October Tide</span></strong><span>—have put in plenty of work during this time, contributing to some of Sweden’s heaviest hitters like </span><strong><span>Katatonia</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>Centinex</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>Necrophobic</span></strong><span> and the tragically short-lived </span><strong><span>Trees of Eternity</span></strong><span>.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/moondark-the-abysmal-womb-review/#fn-207654-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> Not so hot on the heels then of their independently released </span><em><span>Demo #1</span></em><span> in 1993, which Xtreem Music reissued as </span><em><span>The Shadowpath</span></em><span> in 2015, </span><strong><span>Moondark</span></strong><span> and label Pulverised Records are finally ready to serve up debut proper </span><em><span>The Abysmal Womb</span></em><span> to the masses. Will it shine brightly as a beacon at night, or would it be better for this lunar body to remain eclipsed?</span></p><p><strong>Moondark</strong> trades the HM2 pedals and melodicism of their day jobs for a pummeling, straightforward death-doom style on <em>The Abysmal Womb</em>. Solo-less and stripped of technicality as it is, the simple harmonized leads layered over crushing power chords rend the ears and do most of <em>The Abysmal Womb</em>’s damage. Johan Jansson’s and Mattias Norrman’s deliberately restrained yet devastating guitar work conjures strong <strong>Bolt Thrower</strong> vibes (“Suffer the Dark,” “Infernal Genocide”), as well as whiffs of <strong>Bloodbath</strong> (“Palliative Dusk”) and sludgy sprinklings of early <strong>Crowbar</strong> (“Sterile Earth”). Combined with Allan Lundholm’s beefy bass lines and Kennet Englund’s crushing drums, <strong>Moondark</strong> leaves listeners battered and bruised, as if having survived a ruthless session of sledgehammer flagellation.</p><p></p><p>Don’t let its near holiday release fool you, there’s no joy within the cavernous confines of <strong>Moondark</strong>’s creation. <em>The Abysmal Womb</em>’s opening salvo is a one-two punch to the solar plexus and the album’s highlight. “Where Once Was Life,” with its almost <strong>Cathedral</strong>-esque doom bluesy swagger, will have your head bobbing and your face stanking while the dismal dirge of follow-up “Suffer the Dark” steamrolls you into submission under tank treads of skull-crushing riffs. You’ll be left pining for General Willets and his army of <em>Warmaster</em>s to come to the rescue as <em>The Abysmal Womb</em> continues to march, one boot-stomping riff after another. Decimating the last bastion of hope then, and perfectly placed in Peter Bjärgö’s warm and hearty mix are the brutishly discernible growls and icy rasps of vocalist Alexander Högbom, whose Peter Tätgren-does-<strong>Ofermod</strong> delivery solidifies the relentless atmosphere <strong>Moondark</strong> is trying to achieve.</p><p>However, as <em>The Abysmal Womb</em> crawls past its midpoint, it becomes painfully clear that the horse has been annihilated, yet the beatings continue. <strong>Moondark</strong>’s firm commitment to plodding pace and nothing-but-bludgeoning riff patterns sees fatigue set in by the end of “Infernal Genocide,” rendering the remainder of <em>The Abysmal Womb</em> a nearly indistinguishable collection of mid-paced riffs as opposed to individually diverse songs. And while I wouldn’t categorize <em>The Abysmal Womb</em> as overtly bloated at just over forty-six minutes, it could benefit from some sloughing. The final track, “Immersed to Crypts,” is the prime example of trimmable fat; with its funeral-like pace and near eight-minute run time—two minutes of which are an ambient outro—spoiling what could have been a stronger outing had the album concluded with the title track.</p><p>Scouring the promo pit in December can be tricky, and if you asked me whether I’d enjoy an album made up entirely of mid-paced <strong>Bolt Thrower</strong>-core and “Eaten”-like <strong>Bloodbath</strong>ery I would immediately tell you, “Hell yes!” But too much of a good thing can sometimes be too much. <em>The Abysmal Womb</em> is a good album, but it suffers under the weight of its commitment. With a dash of the speedy ferocity from <strong>Interment</strong> and a pinch of <strong>October Tide</strong>’s melodicism, <strong>Moondark</strong> might have a masterpiece in its future; the cachet of its members suggests as much.

Angry Metal Guy<p><strong><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kaivs-after-the-flesh-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kaivs – After the Flesh Review</a></strong></p><p><i>By Saunders</i></p><p>No matter your choice of deathly poison, 2024 has delivered a broad array of platters to satiate the death metal urges across the genre’s impressively diverse spectrum. Whether your tastes lean towards the suffocating dissonance of <strong>Ulcerate</strong>, the bone-jarring crunch of <strong>Coffin Rot</strong>, the forward-thinking tech slam of <strong>Wormed</strong>, spaced-out psych-prog explosions of <strong>Blood Incantation</strong>, spastic aural assault of <strong>Pyrrhon</strong>, or thrash and grind infected old school flavor of <strong>Ripped to Shreds</strong>, 2024 has delivered. Following a few lavishly praised higher-profile releases, a dip into the promo sump’s more obscure, underground depths is a refreshing way to uncork a surprise packet. Enter Rome, Italy’s <strong>Kaivs</strong>, dropping their full-length debut, <em>After the Flesh,</em> upon the masses. This unheralded act skews towards the traditional; eschewing advanced technicality, dissonant chaos, or songwriting trickery to instead bludgeon and heave through eight tracks, taking cues from the classic Swedeath scene, including legends such as <strong>Grave </strong>and <strong>Dismember</strong>. Can this relatively new band juggle contemporary smarts and individual flair with timeless influences?</p><p><em>After the Flesh</em> hits hard from the outset, pulling no punches as it settles into a raw, dank and rumbling groove, maintaining a no-frills ethos and rank, dirgey attitude, absorbing the dying moisture from the fetid soil of the past, aiming to weld past glories of their spiritual ancestors with a sound they can call their own. <strong>Kaivs</strong> don’t have a great deal of weapons at their disposal, following the old <strong>Bloodbath</strong> motto of brutality through simplicity. Musically there are no sharp turns or surprises, however <strong>Kaivs’</strong> no-nonsense, brawny delivery and raw guttural edge manages to get the basics right for a formula that’s easy to ape, but difficult to do well. Opener ‘Koshercannibal” sets the platform and blueprint for its counterparts to follow, cleaving through with gruff vocals and heaving riffs, featuring a mix of doomy plods, mid-paced rumbles, and quicker lashings of speed.</p><p><strong>Kaivs</strong> go hard for the album’s tight 35-minute duration, wearing its tremolo melodies, graveyard atmospheres, and Swedeath love on their tattered sleeves. An extra dose of heaviness and rawer aesthetics lend the album a meaner edge, emphasized on frantic cuts such as the bruising lurch of “SEpulchrist” and livelier crunch of ‘Blasphemer After the Flesh.” The majority of material lingers in mid-paced territory, looking to bludgeon and steamroll rather than finesse or blaze away with speedier tempos. This proves a hindrance, as repetition and monotony weaken the album, detracting from its more appealing elements. <em>After the Flesh</em> feels longer than its efficient runtime would suggest, and several songs stretch beyond their limits. For instance, the rumbling death-doom core of “Beyond the Autopsy” hits the spot, showcasing <strong>Kaivs</strong> potential to expand on the doomy aspects of their sound. However, solid qualities are dragged down by its six-minute plus length, losing momentum gained. Elsewhere, “For Satan Your Flesh for God Your Soul” benefits from its rugged, dynamic approach and rhythmic variations.</p><p></p><p><em>After the Flesh</em>’s construction is suitably rough and pummeling in design, unfortunately, the songwriting cannot match the band’s good intentions and solid musicianship. <em>After the Flesh</em> is lacking in a few key areas. While they avoid slipping into derivation and pure Swedeath worship, the material comes across as little too one note. Chunks of the album tend to slip into a stew of interchangeable ideas and patterns, hamstrung by a lack of variation and an array of repetitive rhythms, riffs, and tempos. Extra shots of d-beaten violence, leaning into their doomier side, or more fully embracing the hints of caverncore-esque heaviness would enliven the material and provide a more interesting formula to fully grip the listener. As it stands, the majority of material fails to leave a lasting impression, while the production, especially the drums, and squashed mastering leaves a bit to be desired.</p><p>I’m a sucker for old school death and the classic Swedeath scene, yet the oversaturation of the style has made it increasingly difficult to stand out amongst the pack.<strong> Kaivs</strong> differ from the usual devotees by injecting rawer underground heaviness into the equation, and their willingness to dabble in chunkier death-doom realms serves them well, though is not utilized to full effectiveness. Although there is nothing inherently wrong or offensively bad about what<strong> Kaivs</strong> do on their debut album, nor is there anything particularly gripping to garner deeper appreciation and hold interest. Hopefully the band can tune up their songwriting for greater reward in the future.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 2.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://brutalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/after-the-flesh" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Brutal Records</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="https://kaivs.bandcamp.com/album/horrend" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">kaivs.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kaivsofficial/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/kaivsofficial</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> October 18th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2-5/" target="_blank">#25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/after-the-flesh/" target="_blank">#AfterTheFlesh</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/blood-incantation/" target="_blank">#BloodIncantation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/bloodbath/" target="_blank">#Bloodbath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/brutal-records/" target="_blank">#BrutalRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/coffin-rot/" target="_blank">#CoffinRot</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/dismember/" target="_blank">#Dismember</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/grave/" target="_blank">#Grave</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kaivs/" target="_blank">#Kaivs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/old-school-death-metal/" target="_blank">#OldSchoolDeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pyrrhon/" target="_blank">#Pyrrhon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ripped-to-shreds/" target="_blank">#RippedToShreds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ulcerate/" target="_blank">#Ulcerate</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/wormed/" target="_blank">#Wormed</a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Polls show Trump winning key swing states. That’s partly a failure of the press </p><p>Early polls have little predictive power but one of the things the numbers suggest is that the journalists are not getting the truth across to citizens on some key points (or if they are, that truth is being ignored).<br>🔸The poll respondents claim that one of their big concerns is the <a href="https://c.im/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a>.<br>If that’s the case, they should be happy with Biden. Among the factors: low inflation, significant growth and low unemployment. <br>If the economy is that strong and that important to voters – and if Biden can take at least some of the credit – why isn’t it coming across? <br>That’s something for the Biden campaign, primarily; but it’s also something for <a href="https://c.im/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> people since 👉journalists are supposed to be communicating information so that citizens can vote with knowledge. That should be a higher priority than generating profits, ratings and clicks, but one eventually despairs that it ever will be.<br>🔸Another major voter concern, of course, is Biden’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/age" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>age</span></a>.<br> He’s 81; Trump will be 78 in June. They’re both old; both have memory gaps and both exhibit confusion at times.<br>Only one of them, however, talks about some migrants as “<a href="https://c.im/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a>” or predicts a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/bloodbath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bloodbath</span></a>” for the country if he loses. Only one is facing dozens of charges related to <a href="https://c.im/tags/crimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crimes</span></a> including trying to overturn a legitimate election. Only one has promised to be a <a href="https://c.im/tags/dictator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictator</span></a> on day one of his presidency and only one has allies that are meticulously plotting a radical revamping of how America works.</p><p>🔸Poll respondents also claim to be deeply concerned about the state of <a href="https://c.im/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> in America.<br>They should be, of course, but what they mean by that differs widely. Do they know as much about Trump’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarian</span></a> blueprints as they do about how Biden walks these days with a stiffer gait?</p><p>💥Comparing recent polls them with earlier ones suggests that Biden is making slow, uneven progress.<br>That progress may accelerate as more Americans realize that, like it or not, these two candidates are the actual choices.
