Omnivore is a group of death metal
ragers, men raised by all that is heavy and destructive. Their new
record Omnivore is the kind
of release that sends hair flying and skulls banging. With a Carcass
tinged attack this is a roller coaster ride of a death metal record,
chock to the brim with explosive riffs, spiraling solos and some
devastating, tortured growls. This is death metal, and by Odin is it
good. This is not a record for the faint of heart, it is prone to
scarring the uninitiated, to be blunt, if you want blood, you've got
it.
One of
the first things that will strike you about this record is the
incredible bass line. You see on Omnivore the
bass is given a certain power, a certain place in the mix, that makes
the entire thing seem more exciting. It vastly increases the
heaviness of the whole thing and in some places adds a nice rough and
tumble rock and roll feel to the music. Furthermore, Omnivore know
how to write a solid death metal song and their structures while not
necessarily traditional definitely work. Another great side to this
album is the sheer force behind the vocals. There is a sort of
tortured attack here that makes the music deeply personal and very
emotionally powerful.
Be
warned my brothers, this album is filled with wild and crazy riffs,
you may lose yourself in the storm. But that's all for the better.
Omnivore is a blast to
listen to from start to finish, these guys know how to set up a
wonderful death metal atmosphere and encourage the listener to bang
their heads for hours on end. I think that the future for Omnivore
will be bright, especially if they manage to keep putting out top
notch material like this. Raise the horns one and all, this is death
metal band who are bringing it loud and proud.
