Erupted/Into The Grips Of Chaos/Abyss Records/2012 CD Review


  Erupted  are  a  band  from  Sweden  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  death  metal  and  this  is  a review  of  their  2012  album  "Into  The  Grips  Of  Chaos"  which  was  released  by  Abyss  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  old  school  Swedish  style  death  metal  that  are very  heavy  and  brutal  sounding  along  with  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing  being  utilized  on  one  song,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  old  school sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  and  spoken  word  samples  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  occult,  anti  christian,  dark,  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  in  the  early  90's  death  metal  tradition.

  In  my  opinion  Erupted  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  style  Swedish  death  metal  band  and if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Salvation  From  Below"  "The  Dark  Mistress"  "Blazing  From  Heaven"  and  "Hell  Recreated".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
