This is some tasty death metal from a bunch that has been around since 2010, and it seems rather apt that the sophomore outing from this Colombian band should get a Halloween release.<\/p>\n

Just like the last outing \u2013 Fall Into Dementia<\/em> (2020) \u2013 this latest effort is very much serious, juggernaut death metal and comes with an impressive cover of the Pestilence number \u2018Suspended Animation\u2019.<\/p>\n

Casket Grinder pretty much lives up to its name; heavyweight flurries hinting at the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Massacre, Deicide and Malevolent Creation, but with streaks of Slayer<\/a> hidden within.<\/p>\n

The band plays like a top tier act that has been around since the early 90s where intriguing suspenseful moments are entwined with melancholic sways and doomier leads. This is immediately apparent from opener \u2018Cannibal Obsession\u2019, but there\u2019s always a barrage of blast beats just around the corner as the clan grills the listener with a batch of hefty, racing tunes \u2013 the result being a rather fulfilling and aggressive outburst.<\/p>\n

The likes of \u2018Wheels Of Convulsion\u2019, \u2018The Happening\u2019 and \u2018Celestial Devourment\u2019 almost promise some sort of cosmic complexity, and while you get some interesting twists musically \u2013 particularly with the more jarring latter cut \u2013 it\u2019s pretty much straight-forward death metal savagery for the most part.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pestilent Casket\u2019, \u2018Conjuring Chaos\u2019 and \u2018Acid Storm\u2019 feature substantial bass lines, stony percussion and raw, gnashing guitar work just to add extra beefy layers to the topping already provided by vocalist Daniel Pineda. Basically, if you like the old school American death metal style of hammering than I don\u2019t see why you wouldn\u2019t pick this up.<\/p>\n
