Russian death metal act Corpse Worship (great name!) is a trio that formed two years ago and released its debut, Horror Chronicles<\/em>, last year. The artwork of this second album adds an extra point on to the rating, although admittedly I expected a far murkier opus.<\/p>\n

Basically, this is solid, aggressive death metal with plenty of melodic, at times black \/ death nuances, as well as strong Swedish \/ Finnish dashes. I do like the vocal display here of Theodor Forrest, his style is deep, chesty yet almost decipherable, while behind him the drums of Anatoly Chebotar really do shudder.<\/p>\n

After a while the tracks do blur into one but the album is short enough to not bore. So we get different ranges of pace from the off with \u2018Miraculously Resurrected\u2019, whereby a buzzing Swedish riff takes control and delivers dollops of catchiness before a rather melodic solo intervenes. Everything about the track, and the album for that matter, feels steady and never resorting to squalid doominess or anything remotely cavernous, even though it’s old school in its vibe.<\/p>\n

\u2018Twisted In Ecstasy\u2019 features more excellent axe work from Artem Mozhaev, and I\u2019m reminded of acts such as Dismember and Desultory. So there\u2019s nothing new here but you won\u2019t be let down by its straight-forward approach.<\/p>\n

The likes of \u2018Name On The Tombstone\u2019, \u2018Underworld Rats\u2019, \u20181000 Graves\u2019 and the title track all have familiar structures. Again there are strains of Entombed, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily feel quite as old as, say, Left Hand Path<\/em> (1990). Instead, there are mid-90s vapours floating through the veins of this creation.<\/p>\n

I think the lack of identity, and I mean this for a lot of today\u2019s bands, is a concern, because it\u2019s okay paying homage to the classic bands and albums of the scene \u2013 after all, they\u2019ll be talked about for years to come \u2013 but I\u2019m not sure acts like Corpse Worship will be on people\u2019s lips even this time next year.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s some incredible death metal around nowadays, and I respect what Corpse Worship is doing, but it\u2019s not enough to stand out from the crowd even with such wondrously fetid cover art which, sadly, isn\u2019t matched by the content within.<\/p>\n
