Trail Of Life Decayed - Slave-Inequal-Hostile

'Slave-Inequal-Hostile' is the debut EP from Finland's Trail Of Life Decayed. This is four tracks of furious Death Metal mixed with high pitched shrieks and deeper growls over a maelstrom of guitars that are rather melodic and mid paced at time while still remaining brutal. "Hatemonger" opens the EP with just a furious drive of guitars that chug along; were the vocals any deeper with the riffs any sharper one might consider this Deathcore. The following tracks like "Fair Of Self-Deception" and "Domination Disease" focus less on the chugging riffs during the verses and more on the melodic solo sections that break them up; there are still plenty of chuggings in the background but listeners are going to be focused on the display going on right in the forefront of their speakers. Overall the musical output is brutal and dominating, but this EP is a good start to show what these Death Metallers can do as far as creating powerful, crushing tracks that aren't all just chords and speed and show there is at least a little innovation going on with their songwriting.
