<\/a><\/p>\nIf you hear Bay Area you think of thrash and the eighties. I don’t think there will be many who will mention Vastum. This death metal combo is already releasing its third album and as far as I know they have a kind of crust and doom background. Doom is sure something I hear here, but not a lot of\u00a0crust influences.<\/p>\n
In the faster parts, I have to think of Bolt Thrower and in the slower pieces of Autopsy.\u00a0The songs have a nice groove as well, which makes them pleasant to listen to. Singer Dan has a very low grunt, but once in a while he screams like a slaughtered pig. You can hear an\u00a0example for that in “Amniosis”.\u00a0The band sounds rather dark and spooky, especially in the slower doom pieces. “In Sickness And In Death” sounds rather threatening, but has a nice swampy\u00a0groove again. The music is heavy and devestating like a rolling tank on a battle field. The drums rattle like a machine gun and\u00a0some\u00a0riffs remind me of the first album of Paradise Lost. Especially the dark sound and riffs in the final song\u00a0gives me that feeling.<\/p>\n
If you like brutal scorching death metal sounding like a mix of Bolt Thrower, Autopsy\u00a0and early Paradise Lost, you should check this out!<\/p>\n
