| Into-obscurity Review by Danowar Immersed in Blood have reverse engineered the Swedish metal style and would claim Slayer as their kings before any melodic metal act whom may share their homeland. I guess you can say they'd share similarities with Bloodbath, who are also from Sweden, but Immersed in Blood are a full time act. They play a brutal style of death metal that is unrelenting. From the second the disc starts until the final note, you are treated to a driving and uncompromising slab of death metal full of blast beats, double bass, growls and guitar work devoid of nearly all melody. Instead, you get a lot of chugging, and some Slayer-styled singer note sections, as well as a lot of artificial harmonics. "Rectal Force Ecstasy", on top of being a classy name, is a great song that showcases this band's ability of playing potent, powerful and monstrous death metal. Immersed in Blood play brutal death metal, while staying away from the trappings of becoming another Cannibal Corpse clone. They're like Deicide in that they keep things simple and super heavy. |
