DEAD CHASM - Spectral Tyranny EP
Transcending Obscurity Records
So a week ago I had another birthday and I'm 62 now. I'm cool with that since it's after midnight and I'm blasting Death Metal. I'm pretty sure my peers are not doing the same. What's really funny is how some people I know who are younger don't get into new Extreme Metal. They have their excuses which I don't agree with. Either way I am still excited when I hear a cool new band.
Case in point here we have a three song EP by DEAD CHASM who hail from Italy and are into the whole old school Death Metal & Doom package. Now any jaded and bored piece of shit would slag on this release. But not me because this band takes an old style and makes it exciting again.
DEAD CHASM started out in 2020. Their band members are Lorenza De Rossi on guitar & vocals, Luigi Corinto on bass and Davide Bacchetta on drums. All three of these musicians have been part of Italy's Extreme Metal scene for a while in prior bands. Their first release was a four song EP from 2022 on F.D.A. Records. They followed it up in 2023 with their full length debut Sublimis Ignotum Omni also on F.D.A. Records.
Frankly I'm glad they're now on Transcending Obscurity Records for many reasons. But to look upon the music going on here. DEAD CHASM remind of early GRAVE and maybe a few other early Death Doom sounding bands. Remember in the beginning of this review I said yeah I'm old and with that there's a sound in Extreme Metal which never gets old.
DEAD CHASM are the next act that will execute Death Metal & Doom sounds upon the unworthy audiences of lame stream Metal. I mean you've got these raw powerful / heavy riffs. The vocals are just a maul of hatred. The rhythm section is dependable. There's no really cool soloing which is a disappointment. But as far as the diabolical sound this band comes away with I'm like hell yeah.
In the end this is a great EP which should be recognized.
