Declared Dead have been active since 2014 and they are very prolific Belgian entity with this new one being already eleventh full length opus with releases of average two full lengths every year since 2016. Although there are band members names, I think this whole music is the work of only one man. This new one contains eight songs of dirty, raw thrash black metal attack, but I can also hear some sludge metal influences in the song structures. That means thundering bass, sometimes complex sometimes punkish simple drum patterns, sharp and raw guitar riffs with some melodies and solos thrown in where it fits and angry, screaming vocals reminding me somehow of eighties thrash metal bands. Songs like Fever Dream Ritual, Decimation(Blood Tithe) or Violence as Aphrodisiac are sure to win you over with their ritualistic, simple yet aggressive approach. This is a soundtrack for the end of the world. Brutal and raw, yet deep in some parts.
