Duration: 35 minutes (11 tracks)
Country: Czech Republic

The album “Embrace” reached to me from Spanish label Mondongo Canibale Records. The disc was recorded by Czech butchers producing sounds in style of Swedish Death Metal. The album contains 11 pieces with Intro. The tracks are full of quick and heavy solutions with crushing sound of the guitars but not devoid this specific “Swedish” guitar's melodics as well as the melodious parties of solos.

The compositions usually are quick and destroying all round, though the crushing slowing downs of rhythm sometimes happen. And the mightily rumbling drums full of blasts, passages and accents control the rhythmics.

Obviously the vocal's parties contain the aggressive growlings (although pretty clear) which sometimes intersect with the furious scream.

“Embrace” is powerful piece of music. This is brutal and crushing Death Metal but also marked melody.

note: 7.0/10
