‘Angelic Overdose Regime’ is the name of the latest EP from the dark entity called Graveyard of God. The first thing that caught my attention is how raw and direct this band sounds. There are no embellishments, no choral arrangements and no digital patches in the music; it is blasphemy in its purest form. It brings back that primal sound of old Profanatica, Sarcófago, Beherit or the Ross Bay conquerors Blasphemy and Revenge in 14 minutes of pure barbarism.
The first attack shares the album’s name and is a mantra of chaos and unbridled blasphemy. Don’t expect musical polish; this is relentless, total carnage. The track ‘Nokturnal Blasmethy’ is the shortest on the EP, but it also offers a brief respite in the verses. These are spat out by Jordan Moreno, the only known member behind this auditory massacre: “Devastation, indignation, decimation, aberrations, there will be an abdication of God’s throne”. Everything has already been said in this fragment!
The penultimate track, ‘Procreation of the Infestation’, follows the same devastating path with rhythms more oriented towards Death Metal, mixed with those funereal airs of the Canadian Ross Bay school in the riffs and chaotic solos. To seal this auditory curse, there is a cover of Bathory’s immortal anthem of chaos, ‘Massacre’, something like putting a ring on a dead man’s finger, as ‘Massacre’ is the perfect onomatopoeia for the album.
In short, this is an EP that exudes rot, frenzy, blasphemy and a putrid influence from the gods of chaotic metal mentioned at the beginning!
