Recueil Morbide - Only Hate Left

The riff during ‘(The Devil Came To) Annihilate Me’ is great, it actually reminds me of some early Deicide but undoubtedly, the vocals camp this firmly in the more brutal category, Malevolent Creation perhaps? The band display melody, or rather an ability to mix it up and give the listener something different and refreshing rather than a complete barrage of sub-standard cookie cutter death metal. This is far from that, Recueil Morbide have something about them, they have no doubt through their experience managed to encapsulate many influences, like the intro to ‘From Time Immemmorial’. ‘Bipolaris’ sounds more modern, ‘Visicous Circle’ kills all death metal pretenders, this is more like it. 

What I find with this album is that it takes all your favourite moments from your current death metal collection, mashes them up and delivers an album that retains your attention and gives you a great buzz in the process. After some time with this record, you hear little changes and hear tracks previously heard in a different dimension, a lot of this is down to timing and circumstance, but as I said earlier, this is an album that’s really grown on me, and I feel it is a release very worthy of credit where credit is due by not being too one dimensional, a release with plenty of dynamic energy.
