Grotesque Bliss have crawled from the depths with their latest self-titled demo, combining the sounds of Doom Metal giants like Saint Vitus while not forgetting the viciousness of bands such as Sadistic Intent and Autopsy. This independent release sounds exactly how you think it would, grueling and evil, like an army from hell slowly punishing the world with every step they take.
Within this demo we are mostly greeted with slow or mid-tempo drumming combined with riffs that match the attitude. Rife with palm muting and chromatic movements, or if you are not familiar with musical terms, guitar playing that invokes terror with every note. For that reason, some stand out tracks to me would have to be ‘Bringeth Death to Life’ and ‘God of The Godlless’.
This Australian Death-Doom piece is something everyone should watch if that is what you are into. For me, although it didn’t have the blast beats and chaos that I usually enjoy within my Metal, it provided and good and almost meditative listen nonetheless.
