(record review)NIHIL EYES-“Black Path”(Ultraje)

UK´s death metallers Nihil Eyes released their debut full length via Portuguese Ultraje and I listened to the record and reviewed it for this webzine.

The record contains 8 songs of death metal done in UK style meaning there are blast beats but proving that the speed is not the only given quality factor in death metal. Most of the songs are mid tempo, not Obituary tortoise style mid tempo, but a bit more aggressive and faster but remaining powerful like blows pounding to your face. Out of nowhere suddenly a melodic guitar solo arrives and spices up the song structure. If I must compare the music of Nihil Eyes with someone, it would be a mixture of Bolt Thrower and Carcass circa “Heartwork” era because of anthemic melodies. This record sounds cold and at the same time emotional and that is the thing that makes this record great. Check it out and send some good feedback to the guys, I know it would mean a lot to them!

8/10
