Altarage – The Approaching Roar (Season of Mist)

This is a dirty, muddy sort of death metal. The vocals sound like a wounded boar, which is interesting, and for me, this is the chief selling point of the album. It is a dying beast that I hear.

The insistent pounding of the drums is interspersed with thick, oozing sludge. The production isn’t very pretty, but that is because it delivers an atmosphere of ugliness.

This monstrous music is hard to compare to others, which is good. It can be safely added to your metal diet without side effects.
