It’s funny to say that a death metal band came back to life but that’s exactly what happened with Asphyx. Since 2007 these Dutchies have been playing shows again and now they lash out with a new studio album.
“Death… The Brutal Way” lives up to its name as these guys plow through ten songs with the subtlety of a bulldozer. Except for a nice thrashy part or a doomy passage here and there, this is mostly midtempo death metal with a couple of solos in the right places. These guys know what’s expected of them and they stick to it.
But that’s okay because it takes a victim a lot longer to die when chopped up with a blunt machete. Sure, it gets a little repetitive after the first couple of severed limbs. But it’s a lot more fun than a couple of precise cuts with a razor-sharp scalpel and a lot of technical knowledge.
Score: 7 out of 10
