Balance Of Terror - World Laboratory

The French brutal death metal machine Balance Of Terror, formed in 2014, give us their debut with this album “World laboratory” released by Ghastly Music. It is a sample of how to do and play good death metal sounding modern, classic, technical and brutal at same time, they are a balance.

The assault begins with an unusual intro that is like a song, a sample of what you can expect on this CD: deep sounds, brutal, some melodic also, screams, is like a warm up lap. After that starts the first 'Gap' with a hard and fast riff and blast beat, some parts of grinding hate. The band mix very well grind parts with death metal, ok, both styles are brothers, but they do it prefectly. 'Erase' continues with the death metal blast, and is not an ultra fast and brutal song, but they give off energy and fury like most brutal bands. They have the enough brutality and technic to please every death metalhead. In all the songs they do it. In 'Failure Of Intelligence' some arpeggios, very well followed by all the band. 'Rest In Beast', remind in screams to bands like their compatriots Scarve, even in more moments, well, Balance Of Terror, are more brutal. We have to say that France has given us a lot of great bands like these and more. 'Wave Of Panic', is a hard hammer over you, great double bass drumming, with some changes in the final, good, and brutal growls and screams. 'World Laboratory', is like a continuation of the previous, in the same way, with some technical riffs, yes, you will like it, mixed with the next blast beats parts. This band also can remind bands like Aborted and similar they both have similar parts. 'Ecclesiastical Putridity', in the same line of all the album, a good piece, no doubt.

This band has, as I have said before, parts everything, of old school but modernized, brutal but with control, good growls and screams, but not a unsense gutural orgy, enough technical but not a rain of notes, to sum up, get this band right now.
