Comment:
2nd album by this british band carrying the flag of the most pure and uncompromising Death Metal with a sound that's brutal yet old school rooted with songs full of killer and crushing riffs. Definitely not for modern trendy core-boys. For lovers of bands like MASSACRE, MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE, CANNIBAL CORPSE…
DECREPID hails from London, England and is a new chapter for me. This is the band's second full length release and it contains highly explosive Death Metal. A grinding feast of brutality and some good melodies to put a good drive to the songs. The path DECREPID travels has been travelled many times before, we are getting a good blend of American brutality and technical songwriting mixed up with European Death Metal and Death Metal area CARCASS, alas some good grinding laid on top of catchy base melodies, a good hook and vocals taking it to the top, and those vocals do work better in my book, compared to the usual growl used here, which becomes a tad too bland. Once in a while the whole scenery dissapears into itself, as it just isn't hitting enough nerves or has enough energy and intensity to carry out the task of blowing me over. We are getting some great outputs from the guitars, a quite good production which highlights each instrument, though it lacks some sheer power and rawness, the vocals are ranging from quite dull to great, the drumming likewise, as some of the rhythm structures are just too off the mill, and the bass is rumbling along in that line. There are good elements all along this album, though the songwriting isn't pulling it all together, the album just drowns along the 30 minutes it last, and when it's done playing, you are left wondering why it didn't made a bigger impact on you.
Los suministradores de death británico ya están de vuelta con su segundo álbum, un disco muy esperado ya que iba a ser editado en 2014 pero, debido a cambios en la formación, se tuvo que posponer hasta este año para ver la luz.
Decrepid nació en 2005 y con su primer largo Devoted to Death (2011) ya dieron rienda suelta a todo el potencial que tenÃan, dejando muy satisfechos a la escena. Vuelven ahora tras cuatro años con una ganada y merecida reputación como una de las bandas que conserva su estilo más puro dentro de Reino Unido.
A modo de intro empieza Concussion, con una producción espectacular, que pronto da paso a los infiernos interiores de una portentosa banda dispuesta a reventar allá por donde pase.
Dejan un poco la “ferocidad†a un lado tirando más de ritmos de bajo en Asylumaniac, sin olvidar los riffs que ponen los pelos de punta. Cris nos deleita con unos cambios de berrido a guillotina constantes y muy acertados.
Brillante el comienzo de Into the Doom, que poco a poco te va adentrando en la canción hasta que te atrapa.
Y cierra el disco Fear Within, el tema más largo de todo el álbum, con más de 7 minutos de brutalidad sin descanso.
Si bien en “Devoted to Death†los temas respondÃan invariablemente al formato single en cuanto a estrofas y estribillos y eran de una duración raramente superior a los 3 minutos y medio, en “Osseous Empire†ya nos encontramos con piezas que pasan de largo los 5 minutos, como “Into the Doom†y que en algún caso se van casi a los 8, como en la genial “Fear Within†que cierra el trabajo, donde la banda juega con variedad de registros, que van de los tempos arrastrados cercanos al Doom hasta andanadas a toda velocidad. Evidentemente, sigue habiendo sitio para esos singles a los que nos tenÃan acostumbrados, y asà tenemos pepinos como “Indulgence in Self Destruction†o la aplastante “Death Walks Above“, que recuerda a antiguos clásicos de riffs rompecuellos,como “Sins of Sodom“.
Lo mejor del disco, como en anteriores entregas de la banda, la voz del amigo Cris Bassan, con un gutural hiperprofundo y demoledor como pocos, que combina con graznidos en tonos medios/agudos con un rollo muy blacker. Sin duda este último aspecto es en el que más ha avanzado el vocalista, porque si bien ya era algo que venÃa haciendo en anteriores grabaciones, ha logrado un registro mucho más desgarrado y salvaje.
Como decÃa anteriormente, estamos ante un trabajo que requiere de varias escuchas y gana progresivamente con cada una de ellas. No es enrevesado ni difÃcil de asimilar, pero no es tan asequible para todos los oÃdos como lo que venia haciendo la banda y, una vez superada la barrera inicial del “estos tÃos han cambiado el rolloâ€, nos encontramos con un más que recomendable lanzamiento que, sin duda, hará retumbar durante muchas horas nuestros equipos.
