Escarnium Inexorable Entity CD Review

Salvador, Brazil is probably not the first place when one thinks of death metal, but Escarnium is out to change that. Forming in 2008, their fourth full length sees the band taking their sound to a more urgent ferocity. 

Within nine tracks, Escarnium seem intent on crafting blast beat driven, dynamic death metal with a raw yet clear production. In addition, we are treated to decipherable and well mixed vocals. My biggest gripe with a lot of underground stuff in this style is that the vocals are buried, which is thankfully not the case here! 

The overall sound is perhaps not the most groundbreaking, but they provide enough variance in their songs that fans of bands such as Cruciamentium and fellow countrymen Krisiun will definitely dig in. If hellfire, brimstone and a bit of infernal leaning savagery are your thing, give Escarnium a couple bucks and prepare to get pummeled. 

Standout tracks - Relentless Katabasis, Cancerous Abyss, Revulsion of Carbon
