They told me to give them the worst review I could. But how the hell could I slag on one fuckin' killer death metal record?!?!? Full-on, blistering death metal is the order of the day with new Akron-based death metal band ENTHRALL. Bringing to mind slower MORBID ANGEL and KATAKLYSM with a lot of their own trappings, they do not fail to impress. I've seen them live twice, and I have to say that everything you hear on the CD can be backed up, even the occasional clean vocal here and there. Everything about the CD is killer, right down to the black CDR it's made with. I'm always impressed most with the deep vocals of singer Aaron Katavich. They're some of the deepest and clearest I've heard, and he doesn't do that godawful gurgling crap that a lot of brutal bands are doing these days. Through and through, excellent performances from all members, however. The drums are spot-on, the bass-work is incredibly independent of the other parts at times, and the guitars - HEAVY. My strongest feeling with the CD, however, is the quality of their songs. They're well-written, and don't jump from riff to riff as often as a lot of other brutal death metal bands. They pay attention to what they're doing in that department, making each song sound differently. I appreciate it, as a metal fan. I think this is sold out at this point, but you might be able to convince the band to make one for you. At any rate, you could maybe steal one from someone you know. Just get it!
