Replacire - Do Not Deviate Review
Concise Summary:
Do Not Deviate is a super hard-hitting technical death metal album from the mostly unknown band Replacire. This album mainly consists of brutal riffs combined with very heavy vocals; just how a good death metal album should sound! However, Replacire did experiment a bit on this album and threw in some interesting clean vocals and an entire track devoted to a piano interlude! Even though there is a lot going on in each track, the mixing is quite good, and the feeling of being squashed by a wall of sound doesn't really set in. Overall a very solid effort.
My Rating: 8 out of 10
Highlights:
Brutal Riffs
Great Screaming
Impressive shredding
Ridiculously technical songwriting
Unique sound
Superb mixing/mastering
Lowlights:
I really would have liked to see more experimentation on this album with clean vocals/clean guitars, and possibly some more melodic parts. The whole album seems a bit too homogeneous as far as style goes even though the individual songs are very good.
Favorite Songs:
Built Upon the Grave of He Who Bends
