Tiamat’s grown from a growl’n’roar death metal band into a mature, yet chillingly malevolent band that skates Goth metal, doom metal, and ambient artsiness.
As Eyehategod contemplated break-up, aborted releases, and success at side-projects, a scattering of 7″ releases made the rounds. Here they are gathered.
Old school grind/death just the way I like it. Think a cleaner version of Reek of Putrefaction or Mentally Murdered, high screams backed by low growls and all.
Outcast never survived beyond this outing. Both bands sound very young on this under-produced disc, with high-end everywhere and no warm lows to be found.
Razor-sharp, atmospheric venture into the realm of prog-death left by Cynic and Atheist. Clean guitars, multiple vocal stylings, and mood-setting keyboards.
I loved Lock Up the moment I heard rumors about their existence. I didn’t even need to hear the band to know what was in store: heart-warming grindcore.
Krisiun are in good stead with friends like Hate Eternal main man Eric Rutan who produced this violent tour de force of uncompromising Satanic death metal.
