Succubus have just released an EP called "Descend Unto Gehenna" following their brilliant demo "Sadistic Rites Of Evil" in 2012 and also their LP version of the same demo with extra tracks added.The old school approach really worked things out for Succubus with their brand of death/thrash metal.
The sound is generally balanced with the vocals but unfortunately I could hardly hear the sound of the bass playing far behind the exotic mixture of death and thrash metal that blends well with the horrifying death metal vocal style which stands out from other death metal bands nowadays.With a little bit of thrash metal screams that marks the thrash metal element together with the European thrash metal sound being an obvious element and combined well with their death metal music which creates the groovy sound of the old school era bands.And it's a good news for those who dig melodic death/thrash kind of style as Succubus managed to incorporate some interesting melody line in their composition structure which is very twisted,dark and full of rage.They covered one song "Reanimator's Mutilations by Incubus which is a perfect song to represent Succubus to the new listeners and give them an idea of what they play.
Somehow it's an added advantage to Succubus as their music and lyrical theme seem to go well in terms of delivering the message of war,torture and death as described in their Encyclopedia Metallum page and I heard that Jill from Deadbeat Media contributed some lyrics for this EP.Excellent drum tone can be heard on this EP and played well by their respective drummer.If they highlight the cymbals that sure might help them to deliver their sound to the highest level but anyway it's a very decent production by Kulaifornia Death Metal Militia Studio.Recommended for the fans of old school death/thrash metal and for those who're seeking for a decent band to start with.Get your copy from Slaughterhouse Records now and support the old school spirit!
