Impending Doom - Death Will Reign - Review

The first time I heard this band was via their epic track "Murderer" which actually made me crazy for a while and I became a huge fan of the band instantly. "Death Will Reign" is Impending Doom's fifth full length album produced and mixed by Will Putney (Thy Art Is Murder) that ensures your insane treat of some serious DOOM territory stuffs. The album was released on November 5, 2013 via eOne Music.

The album opens up with "Ravenous Disease" which doesn't leave an excuse to be disappointed with the beginning of the album. The riffs and breakdowns sounds so intense with their signature tone . DOOM fans must be aware of their old releases and like those records this record carries the similar trademark of brutality, rawness and spicy solos with massive breakdowns with the intense screaming.

Next is "Death Will Reign", you don't need to wait long for the title track and it does explode your ears in the first few seconds. What I like about this track is the melodic touch maintained in between the riffs and vocals. The screams are perfect and will always give you that - this is the stuff I would love to hear- from this band. With lyrics written with depth, spreading the believe in Christianity really makes easy for any other person who believe in God to enjoy some breakdowns, mosh and chill out with metal.

The album consists of 11 tracks which is sweet enough if you would ask for a treat from the band. Songs like "Beyond The Grave", "Doomsday","Rip,Tear, and Burn" , continuously maintained the trademark you wanna feel when you want to relate with Impending Doom. The songs are brilliantly written and arranged in the heaviest way. The album doesn't change much from the old records of the band but you can feel the maturity, the growth and the weight of heaviness in each track.

This record may make you happy for being the Impending Doom record you wanna listen or may upset you if you wished for something more, may be change in the form of music they always deliver. For me the album was a sweet treat with "The Great Divine" wrapping up the album and Salvation being the last word and followed by really touchy keyboard roll which obviously gave you the chance to imagine whatever you want to and conclude the album with.

My Rating : 3.9/5
