Dead Man Walking
Metal maniacs, rejoice! I am proud to present to you: DEAD MAN WALKING; unsigned/independent, hailing from Brazilian grounds - performing Heavy/Thrash Metal, on their debut album entitled: "All My Hate" (released April 13th, 2019).
Since formation in 2006; the quartet in question have only this here debut album in their discography so far, of which I am introduced to. 10 tracks ranging at around 42:41; DEAD MAN WALKING arrange an intricately designed formula of hard-hitting Heavy/Thrash Metal amalgamations, "Deadly Line" begins the record – conveying amplified adrenaline, boistrously bouncy chugs and a galloping barrage of frenzied flamboyancy including gang chants, firepower & fueled expertise in which fabricate harmonic hymns of deadly distinctions. Demonstrating concrete diligence; electrifying instrumentation, meticulous musicianship & a grandiose manifestation of lacerating riffs that roar with progressively technical stability. Utilizing versatile vehemence, with uniquely quintessential pursuits of ripping shreds & virtuosic seamlessness.
Consisting of Nuno Monteiro on vocals; the frontman distributes an excelling execution, culminating clean, guttural pipes that scream with vengeful rage. Songs like "Dead Arms" establish complex diversity; embellishing on dexterously composed dynamics, experimental grooves & fluidly polished tempos that supply relentlessly rambunctious ramifications. Pedro Esteves on guitars/backing vocals provide rhythmic persistency; portraying thunderously organic substance, riveting solos and blistering bolts of consistently driven elements & inventive implementations of hastily hostile jumpiness. "Against Time" converges catchy hooks; anthemic crunchiness, captivating finesse & adroitly audible aesthetics from bassist Fernando Tavares - who is a thumping powerhouse with a profusely robust pulse to it.
"At The Edge Of Madness" injects an infectiously immersive, and detailed foundation of borderline battering from hammering drummer Anderson Alarça - who pounds the steel with crushing cymbal snappiness to rapidly swift nimbleness that slams with sonically speedy velocity. The 2 sub-genres transistions with wonderously prodegious variety; stampeding with stomping professionalism, quaking potential & talented musicianship. "The Starvelling" crafts engaging blends of fierce malevolence, razor-sharp subtlty & volatile malignance - rawly rough slabs of quirky thickness that revolves around an elegantly coherent fashion of tasteful style. The titular track thrashes with monstrously meaty weight; still subjugating vicious soundscapes with mellifluous vocalizations, portraying prolifically frantic amounts of frolicking dimensions.
"Vanishing Soul" contrasts into constructively distinguished developments of euphonious embodiments; flaired gnarliness, energetic attributes and assorted - instrumental madness that is like a wildly rushing scatter of punchline silver lining, and a borderline foundation of unprecedented kicks that promptly kill with prestigious results. "My Fortress" shines with more remarkable remedies that storm with refreshing material; tenacious patterns that flow like a charging bulldozer engaged on fiercly dominating eardrums with intense chaos, and elegantly exquisite mayhem. "Blade Of Terror" strikes with onimously savage sophistication to raise fists; fusing explosive blitzkreig, and anthemic agility – using an angelic ability of compiling a deadly arsenal of imaginative aptitude & enjoyably entertaining fulfillments.
Overall concluding "All My Hate" with the finale epic: "Standing Away"; I am compelled to say that DEAD MAN WALKING certainly outdone themselves with this one, it is indeed a good starting point for future discoveries and a splendid slab of solidly sinister music that is definitely ambitious as well as worth checking out - old-school heavies & thrashers should relish this. Good stuff!
