Through all their brutality over the years, Brazilian death metallers Krisiun have become a tried, tested and trusted trio of aggression; a band that sticks to its guns, rarely lets the fans down and delivers hard-hitting menace.<\/p>\n

As expected, Mortem Solis<\/em> is a hammering tide of brutality and rampant consistency heralded by the barbaric bombardment of the growling \u2018Serpent Messiah\u2019, which is propelled further down the throat by those gruff vocal traits of bassist Alex Camargo.<\/p>\n

Krisiun\u2019s releases \u2013 all 12 of them, including this one \u2013 have become harder to review because we know what they are going to bring to the table; flashes of technicality in the solos, but for the most part out-and-out devastation that took the mid-90s by storm and hasn\u2019t relented since. It could be argued that Krisiun have become the masters of the prolific, the only issue being that their tense breed of death metal takes numerous listens so as to be able to single out specific cuts.<\/p>\n

Mortem Solis<\/em> just pummels and obliterates without mercy. There\u2019s no time for breath, no respite amidst the torrents of gnarly percussion, the convulsive bass lines and that wild, flailing axe tone as \u2018Swords Into Flesh\u2019 mercilessly bats you away with a flick of its steely finger.<\/p>\n

Words such as \u201csinister\u201d and \u201cdemonic\u201d constantly spring to mind particularly with the savagery of \u2018Sworn Enemies\u2019 and the crushing \u2018Necronomical\u2019, but it\u2019s all here, full on maniacal blistering death metal. There\u2019s no real diversity, but then again, why should there be? \u2018Worm God\u2019 annihilates, \u2018\u2019Temple Of The Abattoir\u2019 is complexly destructive and \u2018War Blood Hammer\u2019 is just a warn-torn expression of musical hatred.<\/p>\n

Krisiun sets out, as it always has done, to create bloody storms of utmost malice built upon raging speed and infernal dynamics. Mortem Solis<\/em> won\u2019t disappoint, it just can\u2019t; it\u2019s music for the bloodied battle zone that forms a volatile blitzkrieg that no other trio could replicate. Detractors may argue that there\u2019s just an all-too generic feel and I understand that. In fact, Krisiun has rarely been a go to band for me, but I cannot deny the impact of the tumult they unleash and for that I commend them.<\/p>\n
