UMUR
"Legends Of Brutality" is the debut full-length studio album by German death metal act Dawn Of Disease. The album was released through NoiseArt Records in April 2011. Dawn Of Disease formed in 2003, released the "Through Bloodstained Eyes" EP in 2004, split-up in 2007, and reunited in 2009.

Stylistically the material on "Legends Of Brutality" is death metal, which is predominantly influenced by the early 90s old school death metal sound, and to a lesser degree melodic 90s death metal. The vocals are mostly intelligible growling but the album also occasionally features higher pitched aggressive snarling vocals. The riffs alternate between fast tremolo picking and heavier mid-paced riff types. There is good rhythmic variation on the album, and there are both slow, mid-paced, fast-paced, and blasting drum parts featured in the music. Lead guitar parts are used to create sombre atmospheres. So it´s all the basic elements of most old school influenced death metal releases, which are also used here.

"Legends Of Brutality" features solid songwriting, but few tracks stand out and it´s not the most catchy or the most memorable material in the genre. The album also features a sound production which leaves a bit to be desired. The guitars, the vocals, and the bass are decent enough, but the drums feature a pretty tame plastique sound, which doesn´t do the material any favors. Upon conclusion "Legends Of Brutality" is a very standard quality death metal release and not the most interesting one at it. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
