(review) USUD-As Old As The Hills

 

a0039804067_10A bit older release by USUD, band from Zagreb, Croatia. Although they are not so active anymore due to other obligations in life, these guys were one of the best bands in the scene with their progressive mix of melodic death metal, post metal and hardcore.

This is their newest record with material which was actually recorded a while ago, 2011.-2014. but actually mixed, mastered and released in 2019. These 7 songs show how it is done. Brutal death metal blasts mix with atmospheric parts and lots of catchy and melodic wicked guitar riffs underneath it all. I love poetic lyrics in English which are very personal, but somehow I can relate to them. What is fun, when I listened to the record every time I have listened to a song, I thought that one is the best on the album, but now, I think all of the songs are fantastic, if I must choose three that would be Possessed, Soulless and the title song. Wicked record! You can download it for free at Bandcamp, but also you can leave a dime or two or drop a word or two to the guys if you like the album, I am sure they will appreciate it.

(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!
