Samara is the latest LP from Venom Prison, due out next month on Prosthetic Records. Is certainly an unexpected blast of modern death metal, it rips.
Larissaās writing poetry here, Itās almost beautiful. However itās not meant to be. Itās not ātear yourself apart, itās more, everything is tearing you apartā, turning you inside out with no compassion or understanding of individual. From birth to death, itās all a living hell.
Musically, itās a modern progressive death metal belter, between Guitar and Drums on āMegillus & Leanaā, and āSadistic Ritualsā, it gives you a unnerving feeling, until the more melodic pieces come in. It only gives you a slight pause before it all hits you again. It feels like itās signifying torment in mind and soul in places.
More traditional tracks like āUterine Industrialisationā, āSelf Inflicted Violenceā, and āNarakaā will appeal to more dyed-in-the-wool Death Metal fans, this album is certainly pushing the boundaries.
This album has put a line in the blooded streets, which I think is going to be a hard one to surpass this year.
