OBSCURE INFINITY / FUNERAL WHORE- Summon the Undead (FINAL GATE Records split 7"EP 2015)
So, what we have here? Two
killer death metal bands on split 7”EP? Bring it on, I love such releases! And
I like both Funeral Whore and Obscure Infinity music a lot, I am definitely an
addict to such sounds. Funeral Whore is the band I was really into after their
killer “Step Into Damnation” album and split EP with Profanal. Sadly they were
quiet for few years and only recently they finally released the second album
“Phantasm”, which I am yet to hear. On this split EP Funeral Whore brings a
fantastic song titled “Traces of Death” and I am really into such sounds. Totally!!!
This is the essence of old school death metal, a brilliant track that will
crush you with killer brutal, vicious music. I love the riffs, also how Funeral
Whore incorporates melodic parts into the obscure death metal, with this dark,
horror atmosphere than completes this music so perfectly. “Traces of Death”
sounds just excellent and I just cannot wait when I will finally hear
“Phantasm”.
On the other hand Obscure
Infinity – who started pretty much at the same time as Funeral Whore – managed
to complete three full length albums plus several split releases, so they were
very, very active. For this split EP they re-recorded a song “Maniac Destroyer”
from the “Into the Depths of Infinity” demo. I haven’t listened to this demo
for few years, so I honestly don’t remember this song, but on this small piece
of vinyl it sounds great. It’s very harsh, vicious and fast piece of death
metal that will blow your head off with its great dose of furious, maniacal
(ha!) aggression! It sounds really damn good, in my opinion, I have to say that
the whole performance is awesome and that guitar solo in the end is just
excellent. Yeah, I wanna play the “Into the Depths of Infinity” demo now and
compare both versions, see how much they’ve changed this song, because on this
split EP “Maniac Destroyer” sounds fuckin great.
Final rate: 85/100
