Next Italian release is one with my bro Hannes (Indecent Excision) from Italy. Their new promo Annunciation of Extermination has been eagerly awaited by a lot of people.
The three songs on this promo are heavily produced BDM with brilliant recording quality. The bass is perfectly audible and the wobbling sound of it together with the slam ridden riffing is excellent. The drum sound is saturated and differentiated. The snare is relatively soft and not too harsh and fits perfectly for the overall concept.
The song writing is just brilliant and I am almost certain, that Hannes wrote the music, although I haven’t asked him. The Italian gene of creating balanced, dynamic and excellent song structures in DM/BDM is just too apparent. While the focus of this promo certainly lies on heavy slamming, it doesn’t drift too much in the Russian slam type of music. The heavy slam parts are regularly followed by faster mid tempo groove passages and fast blast parts. Weird and very memorable guitar leads together with the short intro sequences create a Wormed (ESP) or Annihilation (CN) kind of space vibe. I really love that concept. It brings a lot of dynamic elements to the music.
Lühring’s (Defeated Sanity) vocal performance is once again outstanding. He fits perfectly into the concept of this promo and his experience as a vocalist is very well implemented into the bigger picture.

A very entertaining, excellently written, dynamic and well produced promo. Can’t wait to hold this promo and the debut album in my hands.
