Poland is one of the most metal countries on the planet, blessed with hordes of filthy metal beasts. Vader and Behemoth(this is drummer Inferno's band) sit at the top of the heap, but Azarath threatens to topple the regime. Their new album is a brutal and righteous collection of blackened death. They deserve to be bigger than Behemoth, at least, as this is less cheesy. It puts me in mind of 'Sons of Northern Darkness' era Immortal; quality riff after quality, held together by a devastating rhythm section, which utilizes a variety of tempos for variety and dynamics, not just hyper sonic pummelings at all times. Yes, a raging fuckbeast of an album. Recommended, if you can take it.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
