UMUR
"Scent of the Buried" is the second full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Interment. The album was released through Pulverised Records in April 2016. It´s the successor to "Into the Crypts of Blasphemy" from 2010. There have been a couple of lineup changes and only drummer Kennet Englund and lead vocalist/guitarist Johan Jansson remain from the lineup who recorded the debut album. New in the lineup are Toob Brynedal (guitars) and Allan Lundholm (bass).

Stylistically the material on "Scent of the Buried" continues the Dismember influenced old school Swedish death metal style of the debut album. It´s pretty much more of the same but Interment deliver their music with great skill and conviction. The clone factor is pretty significant though and you have to be a huge fan of this type of music to swallow the minus originality obstacle. It´s of course performed by guys who were part of the original Swedish death metal scene and they have the authenticity/credibility to be allowed to play this type of music...and who knows, who came up with this sound first.

Upon conclusion "Scent of the Buried" is a good quality old school Swedish death metal release and while there´s zero points for sounding unique or trying out anything new, there are points for delivery, impact, and a raw and well sounding production job. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
