SHEZMU - A Travers Les Lambeaux
Krucyator Productions
This is the debut full length by Montreal, Quebec's SHEZMU. They're a three piece death metal act who also use Egyptian mythology as their musical influence although they're not following in the footsteps of NILE. Their name comes from the Egyptian God of wine and oils, as well as blood and slaughter. That latter attribute, blood and slaughter, is much more in line with what SHEZMU is musically.
Musically SHEZMU drive their style of death metal through the blackened doom tunnel previously drilled through the underground by HOODED MENACE and PORTAL. Although these guys have a lighter touch as in adding some genuine atmospheric riffage. They also have no problem with some thunderous bass playing.
For me those latter two points are a keeper for me. The vocals are cavernous with a few creepy screams squeezed in a few times. The band inserts a Middle Eastern influenced acoustic instrumental right in the middle of the release. A nice touch which breaks away from the extreme noise from the mummy's tomb. In the end yeah this is cool.
