Our Take

THIS ENDING's latest offering, "Crowned In Blood," is a relentless onslaught of brutal riffs and ear-shredding vocals that will leave you feeling both exhilarated and slightly deaf. The band effortlessly blends elements of death metal and thrash, creating a sound that is both aggressive and technically impressive.

From the opening track "Parasites" to the epic closer "Embraced By Desolation," THIS ENDING showcases their mastery of the genre, delivering punishing breakdowns and face-melting solos with surgical precision. Lead vocalist Jonas Magnusson's guttural growls cut through the relentless barrage of blast beats and chugging guitars, adding a layer of intensity to each track.

Despite the album's unrelenting brutality, there are moments of unexpected melody and groove that provide a welcome respite from the sonic assault. Tracks like "Echoes Of The Past" and "With Open Eyes" showcase the band's dynamic range, proving that they are more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Crowned In Blood" is a triumph for THIS ENDING, solidifying their place as one of the standout acts in the death metal scene. Fans of bands like At The Gates and Bloodbath will find plenty to love here, as the band continues to push the boundaries of the genre with their ferocious sound. Verdict: 8.5/10

About the artist

This Ending

THIS ENDING are a Swedish metal band hailing from Stockholm, known for their intense blend of melodic death metal and thrash influences. The band formed in 2005 and have been making waves in the underground scene ever since, with their explosive live performances and razor-sharp songwriting. Led by the powerhouse vocals of frontman Mårten Hansen, THIS ENDING deliver a wall of sound that hits you like a freight train. The band's twin guitar attack, courtesy of Linus Nirbrant and Peter Nagy, is a force to be reckoned with, churning out blistering riffs and blistering solos that will have you headbanging in no time. Their latest album, "Needles of Rust," showcases the band at the top of their game, with ferocious tracks like "Parasites" and "Dissolving Hours" demonstrating their knack for crafting brutal yet melodic metal anthems. The album's production is crisp and punchy, courtesy of acclaimed producer Thomas Skogsberg, giving each instrument room to breathe while still maintaining that crushing heaviness. But don't let their aggressive sound fool you - THIS ENDING also know how to write a killer hook. Tracks like "The Ascent" and "Blackened Shrine" are catchy as hell, with infectious choruses that will have you singing along after just one listen. This band is not just about headbanging, they're about providing a full-body experience that will leave you exhilarated and begging for more.
