Review: DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE - Death's Design
In a world where metal bands come and go quicker than you can say "blast beat," DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE is a diamond in the rough. With their latest album "Death's Design," the band proves once again that they are not just another group of corpse-painted misfits.
From the moment you press play, "Death's Design" grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. The opening track, "Ritual of the Apocalypse," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its blistering guitar riffs and thunderous drumming. It's a musical onslaught that will leave even the most hardcore headbangers begging for mercy.
But it's not all blood and guts with DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE. Tracks like "Dance of the Wicked" and "Symphony of the Damned" show a more melodic side to the band, with catchy hooks and infectious choruses that will have you singing along in no time.
And let's not forget the production on "Death's Design." Every growl, shriek, and guitar solo is crisp and clear, thanks to the expert hands of producer Nigel Lava. It's a sonic assault on the senses that will leave you breathless.
In a genre filled with imitators and posers, DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE stands tall as a true innovator. "Death's Design" is a masterpiece of brutality and beauty, and is sure to go down in history as one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Don't miss out on this diabolical delight.
