After three years after the release of their debut of Ep “Prevail” released a full album of the band. Those dangerous metallers create mighty music heralding the reign of war …

The album “War Will Reign” shows a dark, strong and powerful Death Metal, a little old school with powerful riffs, with a powerful rhythm section and the powerful growl. In their arrangements is feeling the breath of the Swedish Death Metal, where the dynamic and highly rhythmic guitar licks combined with the specific work of drums (fast, dual bass drum and average pace of snare). The guitars sometimes give the characteristic dark melodies and climate, and additionaly sometimes the slightly distorted bass strengthens the crushing strength of the composition. The complement is the inhuman growl (but somewhat distorted) supported by demonic screams. Although the medium-fast paces reign here then the decelerations and accents of rhythm changes can totally crushed.

The arrangements sometimes reminded me the old materials of UNLEASHED, BOLT THROWER and some ASPHYX, although the music of PREVAIL is not only oriented retrospectively, because it contains a breath of freshness and a bit of groove style.
