Here\u2019s a Finnish four-piece that I\u2019ve not previously heard of with their debut full-length album Fumes Of Funeral Pyres<\/em>. Like a lot of their fellow countrymen Tramalizer dabble in the art of horror-obsessed death metal, although for me the vocals are extremely off-putting. Vocalist R. Tarvonen doesn\u2019t adopt a grisly tone, instead his style is somewhat shouted and confrontational which just grates. But hey, you can\u2019t always get what you want in life.<\/p>\n

Musically, the band offers up a rather fast style of metal that boasts plenty of Swedish influence, especially on tracks like \u2018Tramalized\u2019 and \u2018Hating God\u2019. It\u2019s fairly standard grinding death metal that would seem better suited to the mid-90s when bands such as Entombed were steering in a death n\u2019 roll territory \u2013 no surprise then to discover that their 2022 single \u2018Supposed To Rot\u2019 was a tribute to L-G Petrov.<\/p>\n

There is no denying with the aggression throughout this 11-track outing that the band is formidable beast; you get hints of punkiness and a constant flurry of riffs, but it all becomes too familiar. Songs like \u2018Curse Of The Lake Drag\u2019 and the title track all merge into one blizzard of belligerence.<\/p>\n

My favourite track has to be \u2018At The Night Of Feast\u2019 with its classic Swedish groove machine in full motion, but this sort of savage expression has been spouted countless times before and while there is no questioning the intensity and energy there is a blandness to its muscularity.<\/p>\n
