AZOTHYST - Blood of Dead God EP review


 

AZOTHYST - Blood of Dead God EP

Godz Ov War Productions


This EP originally came out last October on the Vault of Dried Bones label. I'll guess and say the good people (well they do put out evil sounding good music) at Godz Ov War Productions decided hey let's give it more exposure. Hmmm? 


Anyways this is the debut release by Canada's AZOTHYST. The band is a four piece act pushing back the extremities of blackend death metal. Yeah there's nothing new under the floor in the basement here. Musically this is a six song release. BUT two of the cuts are basically studio dungeon sounds. Both slightly over a minute cuts and would've been better as bookends.Not that I'm a fan of misused recorded time on a release.


Anyways AZOTHYST are generic purists sound-wise when it comes to blackened death metal. But they do it well. The riffs and rhythms are on par with a savage onslaught. "Eradication Altar" is definitely worthy of ripping heads off and shitting down necks. Their vocalist makes well with a haunting maul of a voice. But three good songs by these Canadians isn't enough. We need a full length.
