Down Among The Dead Men's latest album, "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!" is a fierce blend of crust punk and death metal that showcases the band's relentless energy and raw aggression. Vocalist Dave Ingram, known for his work with Benediction and Bolt Thrower, delivers guttural and powerful vocals that set the tone for the album's intense sound.
The album kicks off with "Pyramids of Mars," a track that sets the stage for the pummeling onslaught that follows. With tracks like "Deadly Assassin" and "The Oncoming Storm," the band explores the boundaries between crust punk and death metal, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience that is both brutal and catchy.
While some songs may not reach the same heights as others, each track on the album contributes to the overall aggressive atmosphere. From the grinding bass breakdown in "Unearthly Child" to the cover of Anvil's "Forged In Fire," the album maintains a high level of intensity throughout.
The production on "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!" is notably darker and more refined than the band's debut album, enhancing the depth and power of the music. The combination of Dennis Blomberg and Rogga Johansson's guitars, Erik Bevenrud's drums, and Ingram's vocals creates a cohesive and formidable sonic assault.
In a music landscape where technicality often takes precedence, Down Among The Dead Men's unapologetically aggressive approach stands out. The band's fusion of death metal and crust punk pays homage to the roots of both genres while delivering a fresh and invigorating sound that is sure to resonate with fans of extreme music.
With "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!," Down Among The Dead Men solidifies their place in the realm of extreme metal, offering a visceral and uncompromising listening experience that will leave fans of death metal and crust punk craving more.
