Centurian - Choronzonic Chaos Gods
Every once in a while a Death Metal band comes along with an album that just completely raises the standards for a brutal, Satanic masterpiece. Where does this album rank in the Halls of Time? How about the first Deicide album? How about Blessed are the Sick? Hypocrisy’s Osculum Obscenum? Or pick a fucking Sinister album. No joke, people; this album is the shit personified. Each track is filled to the brim with guitar riffs that attack with full force. Not too technical, in no way pedestrian, and they’re memorable. These guys constantly use speed as a weapon, and it never gets old. Breakdowns are great - I love ‘em to death - however, Centurian doesn’t need them. They reach the highland through blazing full force beginning to end. And it never begins to dull. The vocals are essentially bestial and deep with ultra-Satanic lyrics. And, by the way, I’m getting a little tired of so-called “critics” bitching about Satanic lyrics. If you have a problem with Satanic lyrics, be true to yourself: Sell your old Slayer albums, go pick up a copy of Metal Rules, and eat a falafel for Christ. This is an album that makes the skip button an unnecessary feature. This will have kids with no hair headbanging, and by the end of the release you will have become an air guitar virtuoso. A modern day Death Metal classic, no argument.
