DEATHWITCH

4th album from 1999 by Swedish DEATHWITCH, another savage descent into primitive Black/Death Metal, further refining the band's devotion to the earliest era of extreme Metal. Ignoring contemporary trends, the group delivers a raw and uncompromising collection of songs built around razor-sharp riffing, relentless rhythms and a sinister atmosphere that captures the untamed spirit of the late '80s underground.

On "Monumental Mutilations", vicious aggression meets dark, macabre ambience, blending the rawness of early Black Metal with the crushing force of primitive Death Metal. Its rough, organic production enhances the album's feral character, while the songwriting shows greater confidence without sacrificing the band's uncompromising identity. A must-have release for devotees of old school, blasphemous and utterly savage extreme Metal.
