UMUR
"Infernal Warriors of Death" is the debut full-length studio album by US death metal act Blaspherian. The album was released through Deathgasm Records in March 2011.

The album features 8 tracks of blasphemous themed death metal. The album is over in 36:30 minutes but the relatively short playing time is used wisely. The tracks are brutal, the riffs are raw, and the growling delivered with conviction. The tempos vary between blasting, fast, mid- and slow paced which of course gives the album some variation in that department. Death metal this brutal can be a monotone experience and therefore the tempo changes are welcome.

The sound production is raw and distorted yet powerful and suits the music well.

"Infernal Warriors of Death" is overall a solid death metal release in the Immolation/Incantation school and I think there are more than one reference on the album to especially "Dawn of Possession (1991)" by Immolation (just take one look at the cover artwork). I don´t like using the word clone, but in this case I think it´s somewhat warranted. Blaspherian have all the right tools to become a really great act in this part of the death metal genre, but they will have to put a more original touch to their compositions before that happens. If you are fully content with listening to a death metal album that sounds more or less like the most straight forward output by Immolation or Incantation, "Infernal Warriors of Death" is pretty sure to be your poison though. Personally I have no problem enjoying the album for what it is and I think a 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
