Devilyn -“Anger”
This Polish death metal band has it together. Their sound is tight, controlled aggression. These guys remind me a little of the first Morbid Angel release. Of course they don’t have the creativity of Morbid Angel, but then again who does? The drums are clear, loud, and organized. This gives this band an edge, because whatever is going on, the drums keep it all together. The voice is death metal. Not original, but done well. The guitars simply shred, very professional. There are a few things that will take Devilyn to greater glory: more originality and creativity in the guitar solos and more original vocals. If those 2 things happen, Devilyn will conquer even more. – Lieff
Lieff is correct by saying that this band isn’t original and that they sound like Morbid A. to certain degrees. Well, I agree with the M. A. part, but definitely not from the “Altars of Madness” album. This is a cross between “Domination” and definitely “Covenant”. The song “Millennium” is a total rip-off of “Rapture”, especially closer to the end of the song. The production, the drum work, some guitar solos, various vocal attacks, etc.. One could have actually been tricked if someone had told them that this was the new Morbid A. after Vincent Pantie wod was dismissed. The thing is, no matter how unoriginal this release is, it is an enjoyable listen. The thing that stood out the most to me was the bass player. It reminded me of Mr. Digiorgio at times, with his funky ass self. Any way, if a fan of brutal death metal ala Morbid A., check this out. – Mike
