Vore - Gravehammer
“Anaal nathrach, orth’ bhais’s bethad, do che’l de’nmha.
Anaal nathrach, orth’ bhais’s bethad, do che’l de’nmha.
Anaal nathrach, orth’ bhais’s bethad, do che’l de’nmha.
Anaal nathrach, orth’ bhais’s bethad, do che’l de’nmha.”
After 6(66) long years, Vore has returned! These Old School Death Metal wizards have always known the charm of making the most memorable riffs imaginable, and Gravehammer is simply exploding with them. I defy you to listen to more than nine seconds of this album and not start banging your head and violently thrashing around. Halfway through the first track I’d already annihilated everything in a two-mile radius! I would point out the strongest song here, but picking only one is impossible, although the combination of the title track and its follow-up, “The Claw Is the Law,” is perhaps the most potent one/two punch since Fat Man and Little Boy. And it’s not just the riffs that are malignant. The drumming is utterly flawless; intense when it should be, but otherwise giving the guitars and vocals the room they need to do their sinister work. Speaking of the vocals, Page’s somewhat understandable roar has always been the deadliest weapon in Vore’s unstoppable arsenal, and is brutally ferocious here. Gravehammer’s amazingly clear, powerful recording and production put it over the top as Vore’s crowning achievement thus far, cementing their place in the vaults of eternity.
