Stop me if you\u2019ve heard this before: this is a Death Metal band from Florida. No way, shocking, right? But hold your horses \u2013 this is <em>not<\/em> a <strong>Morbid Angel \/ Deicide \/ Monstrosity<\/strong> clone, but rather a very young and very new band that really<em> really <\/em>digs mid-career <strong>Behemoth<\/strong>.

This is a Greek project that is apologetically influenced by (and is frankly a wannabe clone of) &#8220;<em>Fear of the Dark<\/em>&#8221; era <strong>Iron Maiden<\/strong>. This homage is a fun nod to a time when <strong>Iron Maiden<\/strong> concentrated on writing cool galloping riffs and less on stretching three minutes&#8217; of ideas into 10+ minute \u201cepics\u201d. The vocals, the meat&amp;gravy of anything <strong>Bruce Dickinson<\/strong>-adjacent, are at times a little too on target, as there are occasional hitches from when the dude is almost trying to outdo Bruce in a very Bruce-like fashion. But the writing here is quick and catchy, and seems to pack a huge <strong>Maiden<\/strong>-ish punch in a tidy package. Does this song really need to be 6:26 in length? No, but as the meme goes, <em>\u201cI\u2019ll allow it\u201d<\/em>. This should be an interesting find when the album storms the walls in March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 350px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3143943487\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/minimal=true\/track=146886319\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/undeath.bandcamp.com\/album\/its-time-to-rise-from-the-grave\">It&#39;s Time&#8230;To Rise From the Grave by Undeath<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em><a href=\"https:\/\/undeath.bandcamp.com\/album\/its-time-to-rise-from-the-grave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It\u2019s Time\u2026 To Rise from The Grave<\/a><\/em>\u201d from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/undeath.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Undeath<\/a><\/strong>. An outfit from MA, this is a taster of their second full-length, but my first exposure to the band. I dig the immediately accessible chugging head-bang&#8217;able groove, featuring gristly chunks of <strong>Cannibal Corpse<\/strong>, <strong>Jungle Rot<\/strong>, and maybe some <strong>Malevolent Creation<\/strong>. Some lyrical variations in the chorus would be nice, but with this flavor of Death Metal, clever wordplay is not exactly the name of the game.

This is obviously a much more mainstream pick, but musically Mr. C. Grinder, Esq. has dug deep into the toxic waste dump of the underground of Death Metal here. This sounds more visceral and frankly more dangerous by half compared to what his main band has been doing the past few years.

The band\u2019s name is the first clue that this is bad. <strong>Really, really fucking bad<\/strong>. The band is from India, home of Bollywood-style movies and music. So while I\u2019m sure they think they are being oh-so clever with \u201cmetalizing\u201d the Bollywood tag to come up with their band name, it 100% smacks of amateur hour. And the music? Folding in cultural tidbits and snippets of a foreign language (e.g. Urdu) can be a great way to breathe life and interest into a project (e.g. the Vedic aesthetics of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-archives.com\/bands\/Rudra\/4958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rudra<\/a><\/strong>).
