Supremacy - Through Endless Torment

SUPREMACY - Through Endless Torment (EMPIRE Music CD 2004)

I got up this morning and picked up a random CD... It turned out to be "Through Endless Torment" by Supremacy, something I haven't really listened to in ten years at least. If not more. Well, it was a good opportunity to remind myself this album. And you know what? I absolutely loved it. I completely forgot how good it is. So, here's also a reminder review! 

If you never heard of Supremacy, they were a death metal band from Slovenia and "Through Endless Torment" was the only album they did, back in 2004. Later Supremacy split up. Stylistically these guys sounded like a traditional, brutal and fierce death metal in the vein of Deicide, Sinister, Vader, Monstrosity, Cannibal Corpse even... And that should be enough for the description of their music. Yeah, maybe it wasn't anything original or outstanding, but Supremacy definitely knew how to crush some heads with great riffs, brutality and viciousness and honestly, there are some absolutely killer songs here. I love the feeling these riffs have, how often fast it is and generally how powerful and energetic "Through Endless Torment" sounds. It's one of those records, which you simply want to play loud, because then it gives you the best kick. And because Supremacy achieved a perfect production for this album, then listening to "Through Endless Torment" loud is a simple pleasure. And nightmare for neighbours. I really dig this stuff and I think that for its time, this must have been one of the best 2004 death metal albums worldwide. No idea then why Supremacy is so forgotten and not many even remember this album. So, you better go check out internet, maybe you will find a copy, and if you do so, just buy it. Besides, how many great bands you know from Slovenia? 

Standout tracks: "Human Stagnacy", “Burial of Dismembered” 

Verdict: 80/100
