VITAL REMAINS

Release Year: 2004
Artist Origin: USA
Style: dark extreme intense death metal

the importance of this massively sinister and provocatively extreme darkened death metal band from Rhode Island is shamefully underrated, much like their menacing sophomore full-length [1995] with yet rougher approach and undying thirst for the ultimate christian slaughter - maintaining the classic line-up of the debut, they make no step offside their path chosen as well, spreading trademark old school sickness via ill-natured, hateful musick, another cornerstone of US version of extremity, known for its dark, atmospheric compositions and complex, sophisticated song structures, blending intricate guitar riffs, ominous harmonies and relentless drumming, crowned by hauntingly powerful vocal delivery; recent British digipak re-issue also features Celtic Frost Dethroned Emperor and Venom Countess Bathory covers as bonus
