Krisiun – “Bloodshed”
This mini-album is full-on brutal death, unmelodic and harsh, like always. The Brazilians once again continue their growl and blast strategy. Enough to say, they are known for being fast and brutal and are considered among the best. They still do not employ anything resembling a melody whatsoever. Ah, but they have two interesting things here: new versions of four “Unmerciful Order” tracks. Yes, they are still fast and raw, sounding demo like. The real shocker is the new material: this band is still blasting, but it’s blasting in a different way. What does that mean, you ask? The overall rhythms of the songs are more mid-paced, technical and groovy. The whiners that keep complaining that Krisiun has slowed down will be calling their moms to cry about this new direction!
