DENOUNCEMENT PYRE (Aus) - 'World Cremation'


DENOUNCEMENT PYRE (Aus)
'World Cremation'
HELLS HEADBANGERS RECORDS
Release Date : 31/08/2010

DENOUNCEMENT PYRE is finally here to claim the throne ! This is the band long awaited debut album after 7 years in existence with only demos & EPs under their bullet belt. It is worth the long wait !

This album is predictably very much straight forward with thrash drive, a bit repetitive but effectively delivered. We don't think that excessive technicality or complexity is needed here, no, not with this genre, but their cutthroat riffings are too excellent to ignore. Hellish riffs that were meant to conquer heaven. Those who seek for a perfect blend of extremity, darkness, chaos and power, well, 'World Cremation' will give you that ! There are 8 tracks here with fuckin' killer raw sound ! 

The 1st track "Black Womb Of Magdalene" really set the flame with its intensity, dark surrounding and speeding at full throttle. We thought we heard some moment from our Malaysian own BRAINDEAD's "Unholy Sin" in the 2nd track "The Flesh Of Thy Master". Yet, they loose out some speed in the mid-part of the album - take "Salvation, The Fading Light" for example, is very Greek-sounding (circa early VARATHRON/ROTTING CHRIST) with its doomy approach and melodic riffing. They then closed the album with one of their finest here "Invination Of Poison" (fuckin' killer !). This is definitely one of the best album in 2010. Get this one at any cost ! Highly recommended !

By the way, the first 100 copies of the LP come in white vinyl.
