This is truly
vicious stuff and places the band up there with the best of Brazilian musical
exports. For those that like their death with a layer of filth with Germanic
thrash and doom undertones, this is a must.

The Review:
Brazilians
Rebaelliun
return with their third studio album after a fifteen year (?!) break. Perhaps
it is lazy to use Krisiun as a sonic reference point, but...
there we are. This is deathly stuff: blasting drums and growling vocals, but
with excellent riffs and changes. The opener “Affronting The Gods” is as vicious as it should be. Excellent lead
breaks abound, right to the last.
The
album has thus shown its hand early, as things continue in exactly the same
vein with “Legion”- another nasty
piece of work, delivered with utter conviction! “The Path of The Wolf” has grinding and lurching riffage mixed up
with slower tempos and well delivered vocals. “Fire and Brimstone” sounds exactly like it should with that title
and again uses the lower tempos to great effect.
“Dawn of Mayhem” tips the album over the
half way point, with a totally rage filled delivery- and again the lead runs
really add something to the vortex of riffs. The band give themselves a theme
song on this album and it mixes up doom type riffs with their more regular
death metal fare.
The
blasphemy continues with “Crush The
Cross”. The quasi-title track finishes off these eight well paced tracks.
This is truly vicious stuff and places the band up there with the best of Brazilian
musical exports. For those that like their death with a layer of filth with
Germanic thrash and doom undertones, this is a must.
