DEIVOS - Casus Belli review



DEIVOS - Casus Belli

Selfmadegod Records




I've talked about DEIVOS in the past and my love of Polish death metal but it always needs to be repeated. OK so, as far as death metal goes,  Sweden had the crunch and the melody. But Poland had the utter brutality and the technical ecstasy. Years ago an old roommate of mine turned me onto DEIVOS and I've been a fan ever since.


A few years ago I said some nice things about this band's last release, Endemic Divine. As far as this one goes this Polish five piece act have pushed things to the epic level and beyond. Their balance of punishing riffs which are composed in a way that is just a fuckin brutal attack. The soloing that dives out from about and slits throats. The utter disrespect of the gruff vocals. The atmospheric refrain which carries through some of these cuts. 


Yes this is fuckin overwhelming to your bored conscience. Yeah this is brutal tech death done right in my not so humble opinion. Easily this their sixth release is a requiem of perfection. And like I've said so many times. I'm not a tech death fan. But DEIVOS have a consistency of progression through their career which pushes for excitement. Absolutely, this is their best release to date.
