The album develops a solid and devastating sound built on powerful riffs, crushing rhythms and a strong macabre atmosphere that draws equally from the Swedish school and classic American Death Metal. Rather than attempting to reinvent the genre, the band focuses on recapturing the essence of early 90s Death Metal through a modern and powerful production that enhances its strength and aggression.
Featuring stunning cover artwork by Daemorph and a collection of direct, intense and highly memorable songs, “Bloody Rivers of Death” stands as one of the strongest offerings for fans of classic, no-frills Death Metal.
