Soulskinner – Seven Bowls of Wrath

soulskinner – seven bowls of wrath

Info

Greece’s Soulskinner released several full-lengths and splits while being being around for more than 2 decades, and while this band has a devoted following, they haven’t yet achieved widespread recognition.

‘Seven Bowls of Wrath’ is once again a decent Death Metal album that will be enjoyable for those who expect some groove and melody in their Death Metal. The comparisons with Gorefest, God Dethroned and Brutality (some riffs and leads, for example ‘Eternal’) come to mind and the mix of both melody and Old School Death Metal kicks in very well.

But to my surprise you will also hear some nice riffs in the mid 90s Swedish Black / Death Metal vein, just listen to the title-track and it gives you a the typical vibe for sure.

In my review of ‘Crypts of Ancient Wisdom’ I mentioned the lack of variation concerning the vocals of Gothmog. On ‘Seven Bowls of Wrath’, on this album, like on the previous split, Marios Lampouridis took care of the vocal duties. His vocals aren’t the highlight of the year concerning variation as well, but it is definitely a step or two up, especially with the more dual vocals moments.

’Seven Bowls of Wrath’ is not a throne-conquering Death Metal album, but it’s a well-crafted album without any doubt.
