Diabolizer - Murderous Revelations LP

Savage riffing and blasting drums with gargantuan vocals drop us into the fiery abysses of the album without warning. Diabolizer do not intend to ease you in, preferring to throw everything they have at you; which is a forceful and crushing maelstrom of true Death Metal magnificence. Contorting riffs and malignant rhythmic battery ensue with a vengeful blend of ideas that are conveyed superbly by a titanic production, ensuring every element of brutality can be felt through the entire body. From the frantic aggression of the instruments to the savagery displayed in the vocals, everything about Diabolizer feels like a strong continuation from their supreme debut album in 2021 which already saw them establish a loyal following.

The demonic atmosphere of the record is impressive enough, but there is just the right amount of technicality to show how skilled these musicians are without straying far from pulverising us with utter malice. The solos, for example, are played gloriously while remaining short in most cases so as not to interrupt the grave-splitting onslaught of pure old school morbidity. Enormous variety in the riffing, drums and vocals alike ensures all forty minutes of this record are impactful, intense and insanely well executed.
