For most bands, making an impact in the music industry takes years of the proverbial, blood, sweat, and tears. But for 2012 formed EVIL REBORN, forging a name for themselves as one of the bright up and coming Death Metal mainstays seems to have come quickly and emphatically. With the release of "Throne Of Insanity", their old-school Death Metal influences are on full display, leaning heavy on the infectious chugging riffage and pounding bass lines that were once the staple of this sub-genre. Hailing from Venezuela, ER consists of Victor Chaparro (vocals), José Maneiro (drums), Jorge Medina (guitar), Alfredo Herrera (guitar), and Jesús Maneiro (bass). Here is a breakdown of the record:

"Black Dahlia" starts with a groovy riffage but moves forward to a much more maniacal form. Though the track has a fluctuating character, it never loses its intensity, with great drumming, striking guitars and splendid bass. All in all, the track is a good opener. "Evil Reborn" kicks in with some heavy, sinister and melodic power. The vocals shine on this track, as well as the drums and the guitars. In short, this is a very well rounded track. "Adicción Visceral" blasts in powerful vocals, backed up with astounding drumming. Though the track seemed a bit repetitive in the middle, it wasn't for long. The furious guitars and audible bass lines took over from there. "Possessed Angels" is another fast and groovy track on this record, with hints of Black Metal throughout. The track features a melodic guitar solo in the middle, with a bass solo as an added bonus..

"A Morbid Encounter" is one hell of a powerful track from the start to the finish. With powerful vocals, versatile drumming, fierce, yet melodic guitars and triumphing bass, this is one of the best tracks on the record. "Destroying The Trinity" is a great melodic death metal track with some good old fashion thrash influences and is a treat for all headbangers. The vocals and guitars are yet again powerful. Like on the previous tracks, you'll hear the distinct pounding bass. "Thrones of Insanity" is another powerful and chaotic inclusion in the album. You can hear some VADER influences here and there. There are good vocals, as is the drumming, but it's the heavy and monstrous riffage that backs up the track. "Night Killer" starts off slow but don't let that fool you. It has power and intensity and is one of the heaviest tracks of the album, which seems to be a bit schizophrenic at times. So watch out! "Bendita Malevolencia" is the closing track of the album, or should I say, a hidden monster. A well-rounded mix of melody and brutality. Though it is one of the slowest tracks on the record, it never loses its spark. It's dark and Melodic and it's Heavy! Moreover, good album!

If Death Metal is your genre of choice, and you prefer the original groove-heavy, old school chugging style, EVIL REBORN was tailor-made for you. Pick up "Throne Of Insanity", and support the hell out of these guys.<
