Red Death – Sickness Divine

Crossover thrashers Red Death promise to trigger instant headbanging delivering all kinds of insane grooves on the third full length “Sickness Divine”. 

The title track is extremely enjoyable and marks a rather somber beginning as mellow sorrowful arpeggios build a suspenseful mood to introduce an overload of familiar heavier thrash dynamics with crunchy riffs and a terrific guitar solo. 

“Face The Pain” focuses on an impactful approach immediately unleashing ravenous rhythmic patterns and bold rebellious screams while the lead guitar adds sharp variations to the no frills heavy core. 

On  “Path Of Discipline” the rhythmic section aims to create a constant menacing groove with a faster old school thrash momentum while guitars will grab your attention with impeccable venomous leads. 

There is a pleasant sense of nostalgia on “(Refuse To Be) Bound By Chains” as guitars blend somber harmonies and soft arpeggios but the rest of the song is all about vigorous guitar driven grooves offering extra crunchy riffage and thunderous drumming. 

“Ravage” will impress for the overdose of sheer rage as the savage screams lead the way through the insanely heavy rhythmic segments where pummeling drums and fiery guitars just seem unstoppable while in the finale the bass work will add some ominous vibes. 

“Exhalation Of Decay” seems more elaborate starting with desolate guitar tonalities and obscure vocals setting a rather haunting mood that clearly influences the guitar work without sacrificing the beloved groovy thrash elements bound to always emerge with intense energetic blasts. 

If you had a chance to catch Red Death on tour you know what to expect in fact on the new offering “Sickness Divine” they stay true to the chosen heavy sonic manifesto spiced up by some interesting twists.
