While a lot has changed in the band structure, but the most important cogs in the Death Metal machine OBITUARY in the form of Riffmeister Trevor Perez, the unique rhythmist Donald Tardy and the no less striking Fronter and Broder John Tardy enter, remain the march direction. The departing Ralph Santola now replaces the previously little-known guitarist Kenny Andrews while Terry Buttler (MASSACRE, ex-DEATH), who replaced Frank Watkins already a few years ago, can be heard for the first time on a long-player. Really big impact expected changes in the lineup did not have, because OBITUARY shoot with the two minute Centuries Of Lies with all known trademarks bluntly going and provide all known trademarks, but which in a surprisingly rapid pace. Violent By Nature sounds then after already typical when it comes to speed, but as brettert steamroller unparalleled About us about it. The Groove stimulates immediately the toe-tapping, which markzermürbenden riffs that mesmerizing double bass and the rattle of Hern Tardy let OBITUARY Fanherzen beat faster and offer everything the band has ever spotted - in a prime Marnier understood, of course.
All press the elderly and that is good, but the Americans have in detail but then a few surprises, so there are three right fleet songs, because in addition to the opener and Violence and Minds of the World, the beautiful evenly over Justinkend In Blood are distributed, strongly forward and ask for John tremendously, but the man copes with every hurdle with his mighty organ which is quiet a bit more powerful on the board could banish. In addition, Trevor and Kenny sprinkle every now and then an interesting but subtle experiments. So there are surprises interspersed with acoustic guitar in Deny You some cool leads alongside a genius OBITUARY Signature Instrumental Groove Part and interesting rhythm at the beginning and Visions In My Head. Potentially legendary moments that one always put a smile on your face, there are also in heaps, so the fan is certainly a lot of fun at the overpowering Stampfer Pain Inside, the equipped with drum effects Back On Top or the eerie cool reefs ends title track.
OBITUARY have shown with Inked In Blood that they still belong to the absolute spearhead of the genre and deliver times just the best album since frozen in time, without any dropouts or weakness. Clear OBITUARY drown after 30 years every second afterObituary and will do it in another 30 yet, so, but you had to resign anyway for a long time. Absolute must-buy!
