So the
world cup started and I am sitting here on bed, with a new doses of metal and
by god it is a great package. This Danish death metal band brings Rise as their third full-studio album.
It’s my kind of death metal, full of no bull shit riffs with some melodic parts
here and there. While in general it doesn’t feel too special, it’s well put
together and it really entertains me. Rise
only has a mere nine songs on the record but definitely fulfills as a solid and
strong album. Surprisingly the band hasn’t really made it out of Scandinavia
yet, which is likely the reason why I haven’t heard of them before. Hopefully
this will change with Rise.
The album
definitely gives a Morbid Angel plus Deicide vibe and that is a good thing.
Both bands I enjoy listening to and this is a one in a package deal. But like I
just said, it does feel a bit generic. It is absolutely not bad. The problem
however is that after a couple of songs I just feel like I’ve been listening to
one very long song. The songs don’t have a unique identity, but all of that
doesn’t matter, since that is not what the band is aiming to do. It is exactly
what they want it to be, straight into your face death metal and for the fans
that is a pleasure to listen to. The amazingly fast ‘Walk The Shadows’ is my
favorite of the album and deserves a listen from you all.
In
conclusion Deus Otiosus is a great death metal band and enjoys what they are
doing. Death metal fans will have a good time checking it out. So time to bang
your heads to the destruction that is called Deus Otiosus.
