Vital Remains – “Forever Underground”
Damn! This release is fucking killer! 5 long songs of blasphemic death metal at its best. The song “I am God” is so fucking intense. Makes you just want to slam someone’s head to the ground. Catchier than Hell. Once again, keyboards are used on certain songs to enhance the moods the songs already have. So how are the new vocals? Well, even though Joe would probably disagree, I find them pretty comparable to Jeff’s. But again, that is my own personal opinion. No doubt, you will be able to distinguish VITAL R. with any other band out there in this extreme scene. The songs are pretty long and excellently structured. Each song has a different mood to it. I am glad to see this underrated band on a great label, hopefully they can get better distribution and release this domestically. They will be touring with INCANTATION and someone else, can’t remember. Check this release out.
