Born in 2015 SURGIKILL is a new project lead by Stevo do Caixão (IMPETIGO). The band style itself on the old horror and gore movies atmosphere, as it creates an evil feel with its intricate vocal layers, and interesting rhythmic patterns. It is possible to see the influences from Death, Grind and even Thrash Metal. There are moments of AUTOPSY, ICANTATION, GRAVE, and TERRORIZER. Nonetheless, SURGIKILL manages to build their own identity in sound, even if lacking a bit of innovation.

The most prominent element of "Sanguinary Revelation" is, without a doubt, the way the voices are layered and combined with one another. Savage, unhinged and raw, they captivate the listener's attention. Interesting to see that most band members are participating, at a time or another, to provide the vocals, which creates a very different kind of experience to the ears.

We see different styles throughout the album, from moment of classic fast thrash guitars, to others where we are suddenly cut down to half speed and enter the doom realm, to then go through breakdowns and solos. This album truly does not lack variety.

"Sanguinary Revelation" starts a little chaotic sound-wise, and it takes a little to get involved with the first five songs, but by the time we get to "Realm of the Resurrected", perhaps the most catchy track of the album, we can see a great balanced mixture of Thrash and Death metal. "The Bleeder" is a full-on fast track that stands out for its simple construction of speed and breaks, with great combination of high and low pitch voices, or better, shattering growls. The band also gifts us the little gem, that is "Planet of the Vampires", the album's final tune, which is actually a song written by Stevo back in 1991, when he still was the vocalist for IMPETIGO.

The production of the album has put the vocal right upfront, where perhaps is a bit too noticeable at times, and leaves the guitars slightly too behind in the mix, but fortunately this happens only on a few songs.

"Sanguinary Revelation" is pure classic Horror Death Metal, it brings the raw power of gore and fear and we can only enjoy its frankness.<
