COME BACK FROM THE DEAD - The Rise of the Blind Ones review



COME BACK FROM THE DEAD - The Rise of the Blind Ones

Transcending Obscurity Records




The first time I listened to this second full length by Spain's COME BACK FROM THE DEAD I was in full deja vu mode. Basically yeah I've heard the whole old school death thrash with early 80's hardcore influence many times. But once the first part of this release blew by the meat in the middle caught me by surprise. From that point on this five piece act had my attention.


COME BACK FROM THE DEAD are devotes, as far as musically, to old school death metal riff sounds circa late 80's Sweden. Whenever the lead guitar kicks in with a sweet lick you'll think ENTOMBED. That's as far as the influences go. The vocals by some guy named Paul are of the hardcore harshly shouted variety. 


Don't even consider this death-core or metal core because that shit is for kids. This band's music is for adult killers who go into pits to be bloodied but unbowed. I'd say half of this release is truly a fest of rage which I kinda liked. The other half of the cuts were pushing a generic style which lost me. All in all a good album by a band that probably leaves beaten down bodies after every performance.
