Krisiun, the Brazilian death metal band, has built a reputation for their relentless music over the past twenty-five years. Their latest release, “Scourge of the Enthroned,” marks their eleventh album, showcasing their signature rapid-fire drumming, barked vocals, and intense riffage that fans have come to expect.
Known for their consistency in delivering solid albums, Krisiun continues to stick to their winning formula in “Scourge of the Enthroned.” The album kicks off with the title track, setting the tone with its relentless energy and thrash-infused death metal sound. The band’s ability to blend aggression with groove is evident throughout the record, drawing parallels to their earlier works.
One standout track, “Demonic III,” showcases Krisiun’s prowess with machine-gun riffs and neck-breaking intensity. While the album maintains a high level of energy and aggression, some tracks tend to blend together, lacking distinctiveness. Despite this, songs like “Devouring Faith” and “Slay the Prophet” manage to stand out with their own merits.
Max Kolesne’s drumming remains a highlight of the album, driving the band’s kinetic delivery with military precision. His dynamic fills add depth to the relentless pace of the music, underscoring Krisiun’s musical prowess and technical skill.
While “Scourge of the Enthroned” may not break new ground in terms of innovation, it serves as a solid addition to Krisiun’s discography. The album falls short in terms of memorable songwriting, but it captures the band’s raw energy and aggressive style, reminiscent of their earlier releases.
With this latest offering, Krisiun shows glimpses of their past glory, harkening back to the intensity of “Southern Storm.” While the album may not reach the heights of their iconic works, it represents a step in the right direction for the band. Fans of Krisiun will appreciate the familiar elements present in “Scourge of the Enthroned,” reaffirming the band’s status in the death metal scene.
As Krisiun continues to evolve and refine their sound, there is hope for future releases to further optimize their formula with enhanced songwriting and creativity. “Scourge of the Enthroned” may not be a groundbreaking album, but it serves as a solid reminder of the band’s enduring presence in the metal community.
