Our Take

MORTIFERUM's latest offering, "Altar Of Decay," is a cataclysmic journey through the depths of death metal. As soon as you hit play, you're hit with a wall of crushing riffs and guttural growls that will make even the most seasoned metalhead tremble in their Doc Martens.

The album opens with "Eternal Procession," a track so heavy it feels like a steamroller is pounding down your eardrums. The relentless onslaught of blast beats and tremolo picking is enough to induce whiplash in even the most headbanging of listeners.

The band's ability to seamlessly blend bone-crushing heaviness with intricate melody is nothing short of impressive. Tracks like "Inhuman Effigy" and "Funereal Hallucinations" showcase the band's dynamic songwriting abilities, with each riff and drum fill meticulously crafted to draw you further into their nightmarish world.

Lead singer Jamie Gonzalez's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly transitioning from guttural growls to ear-piercing screams with the finesse of a seasoned opera singer. His delivery adds an extra layer of intensity to an already punishing sonic assault.

Overall, "Altar Of Decay" is a masterclass in death metal craftsmanship. MORTIFERUM have firmly cemented themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the genre, and this album is sure to please both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. So grab your earplugs, crank up the volume, and prepare to be obliterated by the sheer sonic brutality of MORTIFERUM.

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, MORTIFERUM are not your average death metal band. With their crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals, they have been taking the underground scene by storm. But what sets them apart from the rest of the pack is their ability to blend old-school influences with a modern twist.
