Extreme brutality. . . and a melodic excursion?

"In the days where everyone has a death metal band and attempts to be the most brutal on the market, most of these blasting practitioneers are a dime a dozen or at most worthy of a spin. At one time a few years ago, a resurgence of surprisingly good groups came out of nowhere to shock including "Severe Torture From Holland".



My first experience with this group was at a live performance, and I was blown away by the sheer ferocity of their blasting death metal. Upon purchasing the album, I was pleased to hear that they used many subtle melodic vehicles to move their music along (I would cite songs to reference by, but I'm afraid that Amazon would not publish this review). Death metal fans interested in hearing competent musicians play material in the Cannibal Corpse vein, but with more focus and some very interesting songs, I recommend Feasting On Blood hands-down."
