Darkness Descends – Last of a Dying Breed – CD REVIEW

February 6th, 2012OFNR News0 Comments

Some metal albums can be classified as pure crap. Of course if you think for one moment the brand new Darkness Descends album falls into that category. GET BENT! Then get your ears checked!

Start to finish, LAST OF A DYING BREED crushes 110%! No whiny ballads, no soft heartfelt moment. In other words a METAL album that is METAL! Posers need not apply! Check your emo bullshit at the door pal.

The full on onslaught from the drums may make you wonder if the drums are doubled(or tripled) in the studio, but trust me, I’ve seen Murder Feet Ali pound out the rapid fire succession of these songs personally, it’s the real deal! Combine that with thrashy, punishing riffs, and chuggy goodness coming from Dean on Guitar. Add in the booming low end decimation roaring outta Chuck’s bass and you have the foundation for some beasty music fueled by hatred. That’s probably why they have the angriest man I have ever met on vocals.

This is a band with no qualms about getting right up in your shit and making sure you are paying attention, Darkness Descends rips pure and simple. They recently won the first round of the 2012 Break Contest, and it’s really no surprise, this is a lean, mean, metal fueled, killing machine.
