Dawn Of Disease are one of those
wonderful death metal bands who seem dedicated to helping us to see
the future, past and present of the genre simultaneously. While there
are moments that seem to fall into the melodeath category, the band
is not afraid to mimic Morbid Angel at time, and at others hint at
some of the ideas proposed by some of the most forward thinking death
metal bands to have put out records in recent years. Beyond all of
that though, there is an overarching sentiment that Dawn Of Disease
rock.
These
riff are oftentimes monstrous in scale, and this band is clearly
turned on to some wonderfully dark shit. The thing is – unlike so
many of their peers who seem to becaught up in the same death metal
circle jerk Dawn Of Disease have taken the time to focus on things
like songwriting. So yes, there are moments of insanity, but they are
tempered by a band who understand the importance of balance in a
record. In many ways – the sheer quality and execution of what Dawn
Of Disease do on Worship The Grave is
only truly comparable to a band like Amon Amarth. They still aren't
quite batting on that bands level – but they seem to be in a
position to get awfully close.
Worship The Grave isn't
always tightly polished. If we're being honest thee are a few moments
that feel a little clunky. That's okay though, because it all
contributes to a greater whole that is relentlessly addictive. In a
world where so many bands are simply emulating the last big trend,
Dawn Of Disease stand as a proud product of their scene, fresh,
exciting and ready to rumble. Rather than pussyfoot about with
standard death metal tropes they embrace the darkness of the music,
grab you by the throat and prove that they are doing their best.
