The time for Repulsive Vision’s second album has come.
Created in 2010 in Enfland, the band is noawdays composed of Matt Davidson (guitar/vocals, Wombbath), Gary Young (drums, Avenger), Mark Kirby (bass) and Daryl Boyce (vocals, Scordatura), but it is with Danny McExan (ex-Avenger), their previous vocalist, that they recorded Necrovictology.
The band offers a Death Metal with Old School tones dyed with Thrash Metal, but a recent mix that let place to every instrument into compositions. We quickly notice howling guiutars, oppressive bass, but also massive drums and powerful screams, sometimes strengthened by saturated backing vocals. Thirteen songs, separated in half by a short sample, compose this album. In each of them, rage dominates. Since Other Than Divine, we notice the band uses heavy artillery, but knows how to shade its Death Metal with more technical parts, like on Exterior of Normality, or raw energy like on the short Blind Loyalty. The sound can be heavy, like on Draconian Reprisals, or sharp as Selfless or Regret pictures. A Lifetime of Suffering Deserved’s final part will literally crush us, while the catchy Nepotism-Social Chameleon makes us want to move, but the end of the record already comes. The dark To Delve the Depths offers new tones, then it is with the short Paraskevidekatriaphobia that the album is closed, with brutality.
With this second full-length, Repulsive Vision proves that Death Metal is far from being an unknown topic for the band. Necrovictology picks into other style’s influences but stay true to this violent basis.
