Adramelech - Terror Of Thousand Faces (2005)

Quite curious to check out these guys, I was. Name is Adramelech and they hail from Finland. They have actually been around for quite some time now since they where formed back in 1991. For that period until now they've released a couple of demos, MCD's and 3 full length albums, "Terror Of Thousand Faces" being their latest chapter. As I was saying, I was curious to check out these guys because their music style came described as Finnish Death Metal. Well we all know that Finland is one of the best countries when it comes to metal bands, and for something to be described as Finnish Death Metal I imagined it had to be some old school shit. I was never much into the old school stuff, I mean, I didn't desliked it, I just rather listen to some of the more recent stuff. But with time that style grew on me, and I have to say, Adramelech are a very good band when it comes to this. Death Metal, I mean. So what can one expect from "Terror Of Thousand Faces"? Well, how many ways do you know to describe a Brutal Death Metal band anyway? Fast and powerful drumms and guitar riffs, and the usual growls/harsh vocals. That pretty much says it all, but the next step is checking out how good any of those features really are. And to be quite honest, they all kick ass here! The vocals are not the kind of growls that annoy you and still you can understand the singer is actually saying something. And the drums and guitar riffs are also quite well performed, so great job there as well. But like everything, this album has a downside which may not even be that bad, but still it made me change their final not a little. The thing is that the album only lasts 29 minutes, which is not that uncommon for Death Metal bands, but still... Well, it would be worst if the music sucked, right? So maybe it's not all that bad. And that's it, any Death Metal fan should check this band because all the ingredients for a solid release are here. Recommended!
