Unadulterated face-melting brutality is what this German blackened death metal outfit offer up on this, their fifth full-length album in seven years.
Kicking off with the title track, Sulphurblooded, the band start as they mean to go on with frenetic, squealing guitars that will have your face dripping from your skull. It is immediately evident that these guys take their black metal influences from the fast and furious style of Marduk and Gorgoroth, but mix in some good old German thrash.
As is the case with a lot of the albums in this sub-genre there is very little variation. This is all-out, pedal-to-the-metal, uncompromising blackened thrash that takes no prisoners. However, the songs, without exception, all catch your ear and draw you in thanks to the great sound, interesting riffs and screeching guitars.
Over the sonic assault and battery of the guitars, drums and bass is vocalist Blaspherion raucous, hoarse growl similar in execution to the late Jon Nödtveidt (Dissection). He has a voice that sounds as if the embodiment of the world's anger and hatred is emitting from his throat.
Definitely a band that fans of Impiety, Infernal War and Adorior should check out if they haven't already. One of the finer releases in this genre this year!
