Just finished my first spin now (I quit the live concert stream they did because I thought the sound was shitty). It's a solid Asphyx album for sure. Everything you expect from the band is here. nothing surprising but just solid death metal with vocals which are still among the best in the entire genre.

Written by Mr. Doctor on 23.01.2021 at 23:26 I thought the vocals were sounding kind of off, I don't know maybe the atmosphere of not having an audience at all had an influence on performance. Nevertheless I thought the camera work was amazing!

I thought it was a great show considering there was no audience. I had listened to the new album twice before this live streaming and it also sounds pretty strong live. The new tracks are really good but after 01:49:17 you get the title tracks of the first two albums or, in other words, the pinnacle of doom death metal. (Starts at 00:39:00)

It always takes me a minute to adjust to van Drunen's unique vocal style and not just immediately switch to something else when his geriatric shouting cuts through the background noise, but the music is always worth the effort. Much like with Hail Of Bullets, I have to remind myself to dig in and wait for it all to come together before writing it off.

As an Asphyx noob, I find this album immensly enjoyable. From the riffs to the vocals to the production, it's excellent; makes me want to check out the rest of their discography as well.
---- I am not nor have I ever been a musician or a member of a one-man band, especially a band that has a name that starts with "D".

Written by Troy Killjoy on 24.01.2021 at 07:23 Huh, for me his vocals are one of the key, selling factors in Asphyx. Love them and I'm impressed how his vocals sound the exact same from the 1991 debut The Rack.

They definitely are unique. They sound almost manic, but borderline frail depending on the application. With regard to my last few album comments, I'm glad it's not some guy going "ughhhhh" for 40 minutes. Listening to Botox Implosion now and I'm enjoying it.

Written by Metren on 24.01.2021 at 17:15 I know folks recommending you for "Deathhammer", but my suggestion will come down to this - just warm up a bit with initial albums released in the 90s before listening to their career-best work.

First Asphyx album with the same line up as on their last. Gigantic death metal over here, and this my type of death!

Asphyx does chug as good or better than any other DM bands out there. Bolt Thrower and (When they do it) Immolation are the competitors

Good death metal riffing, sortha energy. This is not that DM band what dominates whit triple bass and sortha non sence troth cum out grows, This is guitar based, instruments bases DM, you hear guitars, bass, drums all in one and growl vocals as DM has. Good quallity, production, another band what continues where they left in 1th album. I dont hear those small doom touches as few DM can mix sometimes, but I dont mind, solid good album.

Enjoyable, inoffensive, easy to listen album with good production, no wonder it's popular right now. It was my first time with Asphyx, and I'm glad I discovered them. Now I'm coming back to their first two albums, and they're both an absolute DM classics.
