Rising of the beast...

Genre: old school death metal

Every now and then you come across an album that makes you go "Fuck yeah!". Cianide's aptly titled "Gods of Death" is full of such fuck-yeah moments - especially if you like old school death metal, because, although released in 2011, it sounds like it was released in 1991.

The listener is treated to authentic old school death metal from one of the oldest death metal bands around. The only modern element to be heard on this album is a couple of well placed blast beats. Everything else is old school - crushingly old school. The listener is treated to primitive death metal riffs intertwined with thrashy sections and heavy doom-laden passages, as heard in 'Dead and Rotten'. At times, the music even goes off in a dirty crusty and hardcorish direction, as in 'Rising of the Beast' and 'Terrorstrikes', while the massive 'The One True Death' features a plethora of different types of riff, all of which have one thing in common: they kick ass... very hard.

Do not expect hyper modern tech death. This is old school death metal the way it sounded when it was born. If you like your Autopsy and your Obituary, then you are likely to really enjoy Cianide's "Gods of Death"!

It's got the dirty primitive sound of Obituary and the heavy passages of Autopsy as well as a good dose of crust punk.

Well I like both my Autopsy and my Obituary, so I guess I´ll have to check this one out!
