Skeletal Remains - Fragments Of The Ageless Review

Return to Music Reviews 2024

Fragments of the typical death metal band are what you get with this new album from skeletal remains. This American death metal is doing what the death metal genre demands, and thats complex riffs, fast drumming and bass playing, brutal lyrics, and super intense vocals. They hit the nail on the head of doing death metal that it makes a lot of the songs on this album feel like derivatives of their own songs or other stands like Cannibal Corpse. Like they are so death metal in how they play that it comes off a bit bland and generic. The riffs and drums at times can show with some unique distribution tricks on the guitars or some clean drum fills here and there. However, a good chuck of these instruments doesn't feel unique in the way they are playing. Good yes, but interestingly, that's up for debate. Lyrics about having no gods or masters or eating the flesh of a person. The lyrics just don't feel creative or like they have been said before. Now some tracks have some interesting lyrics, but not enough to make the album interesting. I will say the most interesting parts came from songs in the backend of the album. The vocals are good and don’t sound bad, but they sound the same on almost all the tracks, so it gets a bit stale. The production on here is really good outside, with the vocals sounding a bit buried at times. It's a death metal album that you would expect from a band named Skeletal Remains.

RATING: 7/10
