CURSE OF DENIAL - Coming For Your Soul review



CURSE OF DENIAL - Coming For Your Soul

Redefining Darkness Records




It's releases like this as to why I take my sweet time reviewing stuff sent in to SFM666. Then there's the fact that I work fifty hours a week and somewhere in-between I have a life. Be that as it may it took quite a few listens to this particular release to even get me to type a fuckin word. Sure I liked it but why I didn't know at first. Then the whole idea of Fall and Halloween coming up kicked in so there you go.


CURSE OF DENIAL are a cool as fuck band from the great state of Ohio. We're talking of the Midwest mecca of fuckin metal there people. What this five piece act is all about is strictly extreme metal. The genre tagline on them is blackened death metal but they are so much more and yes that makes them cool as fuck.


The vocals vary from blast furnace throat-ed deeply growled vocals to harsh blackened screams. Musically we're ravaged by powerful riffs burgeoning on thrash or in other cases death doom as well as tried and true death metal. The one constant is the lead guitar work which slices it's way into every facet of this album. You get buzz-saw leads and fluid solos as if you're headed in tech death territory. 


With a title like Coming For Your Soul, ah yeah and it's not a suggestion. The song structures on here simply twist and progress in ways to keep you off balance. It's like being engrossed in a creepy novel. Turn the page and a new freaky development happens. From start to finish on this their second full length CURSE OF DENIAL have created perfection.
