UMUR "Hævntørst" is a single release by Danish death metal act Undergang. The single was released through Dark Descent Records/Me Saco Un Ojo Records in April 2011. It´s a one-track single bridging the gap between Undergang´s debut- and sophomore full-length studio albums "Indhentet af Døden" (2010) and "Til døden os skiller" (2012). The "Hævntørst" track is exclusive to this release.

While "Hævntørst" wasn´t released as a single until April 2011 (as a promotional item to support Undergang´s first US West Coast tour in May and June 2011), the track was already recorded during the fall of 2009 and it originally appeared on the various artists "Voices of death" (2009) compilation tape by Baphometal records.

Stylistically it´s a classic Undergang track featuring both fast-paced, mid-paced, and doomy old school death metal sections. The vocals are unintelligible slimy growling and the Danish lyrics are drenched in gore. So it´s exactly what you expect from Undergang and as always they deliver this type of death metal with both the right kind of filthy passion and conviction. While at times it may sound simple, savage, and primal, these guys are great musicians with the right set of skills to pull this off. Many artists have tried their hands at playing the most basic old school death metal, but few manage it as well as Undergang.

"Hævntørst" features a rotten, brutal, yet detailed sounding production job, and it´s perfect for this type of music. So upon conclusion this is a good quality old school death metal single by Undergang and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
