Adramelech are best known for sharing a couple of members with Demigod. As a result, some dismiss them as the poor man's Demigod. This isn't totally true, for Adramelech do have a style of their own. Comparisons have been drawn to a range of other bands from Massacra to Atrocity - though recorded in 1999, the album sounds more like it is from the first half of the 1990s. Basically, the riffs are in a style halfways between eighties death metal and European early-nineties death, but the song structures (the music's "skeletons", so to speak) are far more complex and epic than either of those with each song having a distinct narrative structure. This combination of dynamy and in-your-faceness is perhaps where the main similarity with Demigod is, but there's a serious difference in tone. Where Demigod is mysterious, Adramelech is martial. The tone of the album is more aggressive and destructive, if so in a disciplined rather than feral way than introspective and metaphysical. "Pure Blood Doom" also incorporates some black metal elements Demigod don't - mostly the entire epic, mythological feel. The reason this mostly works is that the complexity doesn't ruin the atmosphere or make it difficult to get into. It's not quite as good as "The Slumber of Sullen Eyes" but still worth getting.
