Here is a record that doesn\u2019t hesitate to introduce itself. The snappy, although slightly buried vocal retorts squirm their way through a mesh of speed and aggression which is never too far removed from Razor, classic Kreator, Exciter, Kat and the contemporary Hellripper and the likes.<\/p>\n

A blackened edge runs through this sneering yet simplistic design as barbaric Belgians Violent Sin stir up a lot of dust on their debut full-length offering. From the opening title track this is a record that scowls and snarls from its very core. Due to the rather manic nature of this beast it is fair to say that Serpent\u2019s Call<\/em> is not a memorable outing and comes across as somewhat of a blur. However, the band still finds space to insert some slower menace such as with the excellent \u2018Malicious Stirring\u2019. But for the most part the maniacal combo is so eager to blast you with its musical frenzy, and within such chaos you\u2019ll hear a few traditional metal details and some interesting high pitched squeals too from lead man Marquis F. Morbidus.<\/p>\n

When you get slammed and spun by the likes of \u2018Awaiting The Gallows\u2019, \u2018Pyromaniac\u2019 and \u2018Burn\u2019 you quickly realise that Violent Sin are not here to mollycoddle you but simply slice n\u2019 dice and leave your sorry arse in a pile of neatly spliced chunks.<\/p>\n
