Centurian – “Choronzonic Chaos Gods”
Centurian’s music is super fast death metal, played with a lot of conviction and ability. Comparisons are not necessary because it is difficult for any newer (and older ones sometimes, too) bands to be truly original-with the noted exception of Morbid Angel, and maybe a few others in the death and black metal genre. In other words, you’ll definitely hear the not-so-unexpected Deicide and “Alters of Madness” influence, so I won’t go into how they “shred” because that’s the starting point. What you get with this release is a mature, well played, and a creative use of arrangements (there are some nice “melodic” notes in the most unexpected places inside all the mayhem of blast beats and fury) and a serious attempt that should be taken seriously by everyone who can read past the hype and hoopla and can get to the music. This release certainly speaks well of the next release that this band puts out. Good things may come.
