Usurpress/In Permanent Twilight/Selfmadegod/2012 CD Review


  Usurpress  are  a  band  from  Sweden  that  mixes  Swedish  style  death  metal  with  crust/punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their 2012  album "In  Permanent  Twilight"  which  was  released  by  Selfmadegod.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  some  crustcore  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  Swedish  style  death  metal  with crustcore  along  with  some  dark  sounding  melodies ,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  raw  and  primitive  sounding  crust  punk  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal growls  with  a  brief  use  of  clean  singing  being  utilized  on  one  song,  while  the  lyrics  cover  hateful  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Usurpress  are  a  very  great  sounding  Swedish  death  metal/crustcore  hybrid  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Unpunished"  "The  Iniated(Will  Fall)"  "Primitive  Majesty"  and  "Permanent  Twilight".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
