Undeath - More Insane  Review

Undeath - More Insane Review

Return to Music Reviews 2024

More heavy riffs, more intense drumming, more deep bass playing, more brutal-sounding vocals, and more insanity from New York's own undeath. This new age death metal band is not holding back on this new record and is doing everything they can to sound tough as nails, and gosh darn it, they do a good job of it. The band is doing death metal justice by being hard and heavy without being too flashy. The band is a very solid and tight unit, and no one member really outshines the next. They all play their parts well and know when to go hard and when to pull back to let another member have their moment. This is a very well balanced effort, from the play styles to the production. The most balanced song on here is “more insane” because you get all the brutal intensity from all the members, and it sounds great. It's hard to pick out any specific parts of songs to say what was good because all the band members did a great job of playing their respected instruments. Songs like “Brandish the Blade” Have a good heading banging feel to it lime a a black dhalia murder song with jts black metal screams and Fast Ripping riffs and killer kick drum plying. Then you have “Cramped Caskets (Necrology).” You have some sexy bass playing and production that sounds great. You can really feel the band plying hard together. You even get cannibal corpse-level writing with lines like bodies smashed together to form the devil. Fuckin brutal. And then on “Bounty Hunter” and “Wailing Cadavers." Ignorant and dumb heavy songs with some killer breakdowns. The vocals have a very clear and crisp sound to them, and it's easy to understand them, and that's no easy task, like on the song “Disputatious Malignancy." His brutal style is tough as guts yet so easy to understand. On a few songs like “Dead from Beyond” or “Disattachment of a Prophylactic in the Brain,” there are a few moments when the songs feel a bit bland and generic or have some awkward transitions in them, but they are minor negative moments in an overall good album. Undeath are here to make death metal more brutal than ever, and I'm here for it.
