Dead Awaken/Where Hope Turns Dripping Red/Abyss Records/2013 CD Review


  Dead  Awaken  are  a  band  from  Sweden  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Where  Hope  Turns  Dripping  Red"  which  was  released  by  Abyss  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  are  heavy,  brutal  and  old  school  sounding  with  some  thrash  influences  being  used  at  times  as  well  as  some  melody,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  old  school  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  being  used  at   times, while  the  lyrics  cover  war  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  old school  and  professional  sound where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Dead  Awaken  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy  and  brutal  old  school  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Carnivore"  "Rocket  Symphony"  "Manic  Destructive"  and  "State  of  Corrosion".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
