Prepare yourself for 27 minutes of brutal Brazilian death metal that\u2019s somewhat of an acquired taste for myself, mostly due to the vocals which at times flirt with that grindcore style of squealing mashed with a Glen Benton (Deicide) attack. However, this is still an engaging and relentless downpour of savagery.<\/p>\n

RotBorn seem to be influenced by a myriad of bands, mostly skimming the top off the mid-90s death metal arena whereby the riffs drive exceptionally hard, as do the drums although at times they can appear a bit too \u201cclicky\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is not actually an overly heavy album in spite of its barrages of brutality where hints of Deicide, Nile, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel et al leak through. There\u2019s also a blitzkrieg of blast beats throughout, so hats off to percussive beast Nestor Carrera and the hammering bass of Jeferson Tarzia.<\/p>\n

The slower passages (riddled all too much by that clicky drum) are catchy enough (\u2018Moral Grudge\u2019) and there\u2019s a lot of death \/ thrash structures going on too (\u2018The Stench Of A New Era To Come\u2019), but the band\u2019s main focus on this album are those speedy assaults and that\u2019s probably where I tend to drift. However, \u2018Praise The Downfall\u2019 has a very sinister tone with its mid-tempo chugs and it remains my favourite track on what is a savage expression of Brazilian brutality.<\/p>\n
