One of UK's best known death metal bands,Live Burial, are back with an astounding new full length that expands upon their established doomy death metal sound like never before. There are loads of intricate parts, melodic undercurrents and even rousing solos adding more colour to the proceedings. Listen to a couple of their short songs from an album that also has its share of longer, epic onesHERE.
Two years after the release of their highly acclaimed full length 'Unending Futility', UK's strongest purveyors of classic death metalLive Burialreturn with a new full length which is a staggering improvement over it in all conceivable ways. As if new techniques have been unlocked, the songwriting on this record is far more intricate and multi-faceted, with the band not only relying on their trademark lurching doomy death metal crawl but also expanding upon the scope by adding new textures and influences, including those sounding Finnish in origin. Despite these enhancements in sound, the music has only become faster, more aggressive and scathing, with vocals being acerbic enough to melt flesh but also somehow carry emotion, which in turn are magnified by excellent lead-playing. This is the culmination of the purest form of death metal worked upon to make it relevant, nay, cutting-edge in terms of extremity, technical proficiency and even emotive capability where this old school style of music goes.
