Bestial Possession by DEPRAVITY
Australian death metal titans Depravity emerge after a gap of five long years. Having a flawless and consistent discography, they pick up from where they left off ensuring that things remain that way as they proceed to add more nuance and colour to their brand of music on their latest album titled "Bestial Possession". Maintaining the same line-up, they are able to retain their sound while fleshing out their compositions, proving that they can not only rampage with abandon at will but also showcase their musicianship in a more controlled environment. At this point in their career, Depravity's music has become fairly amalgamated - rooted in the old school sound but not necessarily sounding old school, with the gradual incorporation of more brutal and technical death metal influences having a slightly contemporary edge. One thing is certain - they function perfectly as a unit and are able to create devastating death metal at any given time and this time things are no different. They exude sheer class, confidence, and maturity, and death metal fans are definitely in for a treat before the tumultuous year ends.
For fans of - Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Deicide, Hate Eternal, Hour of Penance, Nile, Demiurgon
