Workday Review : Infester, Eternal Champion & more



Infester - "To the Depths...of Degradation" : As far as USDM is concerned, I can only think of two other records that have ever surpassed this one.  I'm not going to attempt to describe the atmosphere of this record; this is the embodiment of unmatched, pure evil death metal.



Eternal Champion - "The Armor of Ire" : Epic power metal worship from the usual Texas suspects.  Catchy as hell, and reverbed the fuck out Manilla Road worship with some nods to Black Sabbath, Priest and very early Metallica.



Mystifier - "Goetia" : Often imitated - never duplicated.  Mystifier took the foundation laid by bands like Sarcofago, slowed it down, and took some cues from Celtic Frost and Venom and made something truly ripping and original.  I'm not the biggest black metal fan generally, but this is absolutely essential.
