Swedish death metallers Immersed In Blood rose from the ashes of Inverted. Killing Season is their full length debut and it's a nearly half hour of brutality. The ten songs here blast by in record pace. The band goes for the jugular with over the top brutal death metal with a keen sense of technical virtuosity. It's unsurprising that the band would find a home on Arctic Music as Immersed In Blood are a logical companion to Arctic owner Phil Fasciana's main band Malevolent Creation- although, while Immersed In Blood embody the intensity of Malevolent Creation, they don't have the variety yet. The music on Killing Season is tight as hell and the excellent production courtesy of Studio Mega producer Christian Silver (the Crown, Eternal Lies) helps get the directness and heaviness of the band's attack. Sure, we've heard this before but Immersed In Blood play brutal death metal with both skill and conviction. The short length of the album works to its advantage much the same way Deicide's debut and Slayer's Reign in Blood did.

Album Score: 7.5 out of 10
