Brutally Deceased – Dead Lovers’ Guide (2010)

cover

Hailing from the Czech Republic, today we have the neck-breaking music of Brutally Deceased and their debut full-length release “Dead Lovers’ Guide”. Many new bands attempt to play ‘old-school’ Swedish Death Metal but fail miserably, however Brutally Deceased excels in this department very nicely and created 33 minutes of retro-DM that fans of the genre will love.

With a very solid production, “Dead Lovers’ Guide” will drill your ears for nine very catchy tracks. The band’s music has just the right feeling to believe you are back in the early days of Grave, Dismember, Morgoth, but has the 2010 studio clarity.

The band kicks off with the super catchy “Lustful Sodomy in the House of God”, in this track we have solid riffing, meaty hooks and tight drumming. The vocals are pretty solid and give that ‘less growly’ approach to things. While being nothing highly original, the band does a great job in capturing the old-school vibe and delivers a crushing album.

Things get a bit more hectic in tracks like “Dead Lovers’ Guide”, “Blissful Desecreation” and “They Shall Feast”. Each of these tracks (and the rest) has their own set of riffs and melodies, allowing them to be remembered but never sounding too similar and getting dull. This is probably one of the best qualities of the band since most other DM bands end up sounding exactly the same after 3 songs.

Changing the pace a little bit the intro of “Demise of the Human Swine”, the band keeps their onslaught of diverse sounding tracks. The best tracks have to be the last two before the Dismember cover of “Override of the Overture” (which is excellent by the way).

In general we really enjoyed “Dead Lovers’ Guide” since we are huge old-school Swedish Death Metal. The band managed to craft 33 minutes of great music that will surely get them noticed over the seas of uninspired DM releases we have these days. So stop reading this and head out to their site and get a copy of this fine album.
