UMUR
"Into the Crypts of Blasphemy" is the debut full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Interment. The album was released through Pulverised Records in August 2010. Interment formed under the Beyond monicker in 1988, but after releasing the "Birth of the Dead" demo in June 1990 the band opted to change their name to Interment. Interment subsequently released three demos before disbanding in 1994. They reunited in 2002 and the first new release from the band was the 2007 "Conjuration of the Sepulchral" split with Funebrarum. In 2010 (a few months prior to the release of "Into the Crypts of Blasphemy") Interment released the "Where Death Will Increase 1991-1994" compilation featuring the material from their three demos.

"Into the Crypts of Blasphemy" features two re-recorded tracks ("Where Death Will Increase" and "Morbid Death") from their demo days, but other than that the remaining seven tracks are new original compositions. Stylistically this is classic old school Swedish death metal and it´s especially Dismember that I´m reminded of. The riffing style, the drumming, and the growling vocal style all point in that direction, and it would be a lie saying that Interment bring much unique to the table. But that´s fully in line with their early 1990s output which never stood out from the crowd either. When it´s as well performed, well written, and well produced as the case is on "Into the Crypts of Blasphemy" I´m still convinced though and fans of old school Swedish death metal should find a lot to appreciate here. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
