Bloodbath - Unblessing the Purity

Bloodbath. Unblessing the Purity (EP). 2008. 3.5 stars.

A vicious EP from Sweden’s Bloodbath, Unblessing the Purity is a growling throwback to old-school death metal, with caustic vocals and maddening guitar solos setting the stage for horror and damnation. The sound Bloodbath produces is incredibly fast and brutal, running across intense blasting percussion and twisting, expansive guitar passages that bring out melodic nuances hiding beneath the chaos. Like their fellow countrymen Dark Tranquility, Bloodbath successfully combine raging metal riffs with complex compositional touches. While these 4 songs are over quickly and offer nothing revolutionary, they are undeniably entertaining and heavy. If you like your metal filled with deep-throated anger and pulse-pounding speed, this EP should suit your tastes.

Weak Aside
