Album: AS YOU DROWN - Reflection
Upon first listen, AS YOU DROWN's latest album "Reflection" hits you like a tsunami of sound. The Swedish death metal outfit have truly outdone themselves with this release, showcasing their mastery of crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and thunderous drumming.
The opening track, "Sinking Into the Abyss," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its relentless barrage of blast beats and face-melting guitar solos. It's like being swept away by a whirlpool of pure aggression and intensity.
As the album progresses, tracks like "Drowning in Darkness" and "Echoes of Despair" only serve to cement AS YOU DROWN's status as one of the most formidable bands in the death metal scene. The sheer brutality of their music is matched only by their technical proficiency and impeccable songwriting skills.
What sets "Reflection" apart from other death metal albums is the band's willingness to experiment with different textures and dynamics. The haunting melodies and atmospheric interludes scattered throughout the album add a layer of depth and complexity that is often missing from the genre.
In conclusion, AS YOU DROWN's "Reflection" is a towering achievement in modern death metal. It's an album that will leave you gasping for air as you drown in a sea of sonic brutality. Highly recommended for fans of extreme music everywhere. Verdict: 8.5/10
