CELESTIAL SANCTUARY - Mass Extinction (BRUTAL CAVE Productions - CD 2019)
Recently I was recommended to check this new British band, whose first
demo was released a while ago. And so I did; two songs on bandcamp were enough
to impress me a lot. I immediately ordered a physical copy of this demo,
because I wanted to have a CD in my collection, rather than a digital file.
Soon later CD arrived and here I am, writing few words about Celestial
Sanctuary and their "Mass Extinction" demo.
Well, there are two songs only, so I won't be writing a book-long
article, but few words will be enough I think to describe the content and my
impression. First off, the band is named after one of Bolt Thrower's songs. And
they are also British. That should be enough for you to understand what type of
music we deal with here. Obviously Bolt Thrower is not the only influence for
Celestial Sanctuary, at least that's what I hear... You could also add Asphyx,
Grave, etc. It's just that heavy, but brutal and vicious death metal, with a
bone crushing, dismembering massive sound. Celestial Sanctuary doesn't reinvent
anything, they basically follow the old classic rules, but they are good at it,
I think. I like their sound, I like the riffage, vocals... Basically everything
on these two songs sounds just right. I know it's basically repeating what
other bands did before, but I still am able to find sadistic pleasure in
listening to such music and even such new bands like Celestial Sanctuary give
me that thrill. Maybe it's because of the passion, which comes from their
music? Or the powerful kick? Whatever, I liked it a lot and I am definitely
looking forward to hear more from Celestial Sanctuary.
Verdict: 80/100
