A lot of modern death metal is shiny, flashy, and in addition, purely cutthroat.In the matter of metal music the underground is full of newcomers who bring enthusiasm and fresh ideas . In before death metal presented in various forms. Nowadays bands are experiment with their musical style continuously with candied old-school imitators. Death metal does not stagnate in a constant form. Some challengers exist, such as Inverted, a brilliant addition to the death metal roster.
Italy based death metal band Inverted bring their second full length album entitled “The Age Of Harvest” in the end of January ,2015. This new album is consist with 8 tracks with 30:50 min running time. Basically Inverted was formed in 2007 as Cyanide Christ. Later they have changed their name as Inverted in 2008. In before they had released debut full length album entitled “Point Of Crossing” in 2011. Now I am straight going to the point about this new album .
This new albums whole composition,production is extremely filthy and relentlessly unforgiving .At first listen “The Age Of Harvest” floored me with their dreaded amalgamation which leads to a hammerin old School blunt force trauma with heavy riffs, hyped pedal thrusts.I was lookin for this type of harshest slabs of death metal.This whole album enthralled me with their Unrelenting ,powerful,blasting ,overarching,chromatic, chaotic,rugged, critical acclaimed death metal sound and dense musical style and this new album rekindle my affection,obsession for death metal. This bands each and every musician exudes tremendous effort in radiant way on this album with excellent diligence and nailed it. They have injected technical riffs works, dark and dirge vibes into aural bashing,furious,fast death metal with strangulated riffs work simultaneously that burns with oppressive fervor. I applaud this new addition and embrace them.
Their heavy,ultra-fast sounds and disparate styles all combined in one bold, enlightened display of unbound creativity. Despite the often fast ,furious,cacophonous, heavy and barbarous form of death metal assaults laced with a lots of segments of mid-paced,fast tempo too where Inverted combines intricate,tricky riffs work,vicious,dirge vibes with cavernous drum thrashes,aforementioned all aspects enriched this album that is very powerful,strong and excellent all at the same time along with a good balance of death metal music, melody and brutality with strangulated ,filthy,thick,groovy riffs work and those effective rasps simultaneously.
well, this albums opening track starts with relentless ,blast beating,fast death metal music with onslaught of savage guitar and a wall of spectacular drums with aggression,deliberate cadence . From this new album we get ultra-fast, oppressive death metal. This album is filled with a slew of twisted , traversed ,chugging, groovy,intricate, blitzkrieg,menacing ,complex riffs line ups with technical prowess . As well bass line up is shifting, chaotic,distorted,rumbled and punchy . Drumming,percussion line up is pummeling,dodgy,punishing,frantic,blast beating and rabidly insane . There are a slew of individual breathtaking ,subtle nuance,cadence,morbidly delicious, ominous riffs,solo and drumming sections which sound briefly something exotic . In each track intricate,spectacular riffs,bass lineups matched in fantastic way with technical orientation . This album indulge strong songwriting and brilliant musicianship . Every instrument is clearly differentiated & represented excellently in each and every single track .Tempo changes are excellent and complicated . Vocals deep rasps, gruff growls , vigorous, crucial, immense , aggressive voice intertwined in a good manner with their utterly savage,merciless,onslaught,violent, grandiose , vitriol ,uncanny deeply rooted old school death metal sound with a lots of dark,dirge accompaniment and embedded perfectly . I really worship this band.
Their latest efforts each song have an energy ,fluency and dominating power. Stand out tracks are Across the Snow to Nowhere,Caves,Vexilla Prodeunt Regis Inferni,E.R. Weapons,Tunguska,Clear Sky . album artwork is mystique,atrocious,indelible. overall " The Age Of Harvest " whole album is undeniable,precise,Spectacular,engrossing ,significant, elegant.This album is epitome of death metal. Inverted have the misfortune of inheriting a genre that peaked, attracted infiltrators and imitators. This pure unadulterated death metal album is one of the best release of this year so far.From now I’ll Keep my eyes and ears peeled for news from the Inverted camp in the near future. Inverted provide another unblemished addition to this collection with this complete masterpiece, and thus can be accredited with the contribution to this intriguing and thriving, if not overlooked movement within extreme metal music.
