Undeath: A Relentless Assault of Brutal Death Metal

If you thought death metal couldn’t get any more brutal and hard-hitting, then let Undeath prove you wrong. Their latest release is a sonic onslaught of heavy riffs, intense drumming, deep bass lines, and brutal vocals—all delivered with the kind of raw power that will rattle your bones. This New York-based death metal band is on a mission to deliver an album that leaves no room for doubt: they’re here to bring the pain. And let’s be clear—they do it with style.

What makes Undeath stand out is their ability to play death metal in its purest form, focusing on raw aggression and heavy sound without leaning too hard into flashy techniques. Each band member plays their part to perfection, creating a tight, unified sound where no one member overshadows the others. There’s a clear sense of balance in their approach, from the way they structure the songs to the way they let each member shine at the right moments.

One of the standout tracks in terms of balance is “More Insane,” a song that blends all the brutal intensity the band is known for. From start to finish, it’s a relentless barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous drumming, and guttural vocals. You can hear each band member giving it their all, yet they manage to work together seamlessly, never stepping on each other’s toes. This track truly shows what Undeath is capable of when they come together as a unit.

When it comes to riffs, Undeath doesn’t disappoint. Tracks like “Brandish the Blade” bring the headbanging energy reminiscent of bands like The Black Dahlia Murder, with fast ripping riffs, black metal-inspired screams, and killer kick drum playing. The intensity is off the charts, and you can feel the dark energy coursing through the music. Then, there’s “Cramped Caskets (Necrology)”, where the band flexes their skill with some sexy bass playing and excellent production that adds depth to the overall sound. The basslines truly stand out in this track, giving it an extra layer of heaviness and groove that’s undeniable.

Lyrically, Undeath doesn’t pull punches either. Lines like “bodies smashed together to form the devil” from “Cramped Caskets (Necrology)” feel straight out of Cannibal Corpse-level brutality. It’s grim, it’s disgusting, and it’s exactly what death metal fans crave. The vocals are another major highlight, with a clear and crisp delivery that makes even the most brutal lines easy to understand. This is no easy feat for a band with such an aggressive sound, but the vocals come through with precision on tracks like “Disputatious Malignancy”.

As heavy as Undeath can get, they’re not without a few moments of roughness. On tracks like “Dead from Beyond” and “Disattachment of a Prophylactic in the Brain”, there are brief instances where the songs feel a bit generic or have awkward transitions. These are small moments in an otherwise solid album, but they’re worth noting. Despite these minor flaws, Undeath delivers a ferocious, blistering album that shows they’re not afraid to push the boundaries of death metal.

Tracks like “Bounty Hunter” and “Wailing Cadavers” are ignorant, dumb heavy songs that will satisfy any fan looking for those classic death metal breakdowns and brutal riffs. Undeath has truly cemented their place in the scene as one of the bands pushing the genre to its limits. The production is sharp and crisp, giving each instrument the room it needs to shine without sacrificing the overall heaviness. With this album, Undeath has proven that they’re here to make death metal more brutal and unrelenting than ever before.

This is a band on the rise, delivering no-frills, in-your-face death metal with a passion that’s undeniable. If you’re a fan of the genre, you won’t want to miss out on this one. Undeath is here to remind us that death metal is about intensity, power, and pure brutality, and they’ve done just that with their latest record. Prepare yourself, because Undeath is coming to leave you broken and begging for more.
