The rumbling sound you hear out of Massachusetts is the second full-length studio album from death metal combo Exsanguination. Even so, this is not the basic, swampy death metal you may be expecting because there is very much a blackened edge applied, especially with the snappy vocals of guitarist Daniel Lozzi.<\/p>\n

A majority of the tracks on Burial Rites<\/em> have a volatile approach where abrasive tones are delivered by the blizzard of guitar strikes. Opener \u2018Reborn In A Casket\u2019 is fast, scathing and despicably thrashy, while \u2018Coffin Dweller\u2019 is similarly icy, snaking in its cold yet melodious streaks, but when slower, catchier segments come to the fore there is more of a crustier and punkier kick.<\/p>\n

Much of what is on offer here boasts a snarling belligerence, dragged further across the black ice by those thorny vocal escapades. The whole feel of this record is one of complete darkness, each track flitting by with a scowl. \u2018The Pleasure To End All Pleasures\u2019 yaps and gnashes with a fury, and that\u2019s the theme; crisp but wickedly served thrashing death that smoulders at its blackened edges.<\/p>\n

Not necessarily hard to describe, songs like \u2018Into The Abyss\u2019 and \u2018The Void\u2019 explore a more angular level of intensity to the point of a remoteness and arrogance, but these are much needed ingredients when constructing such spiteful blends.<\/p>\n
