Review | |||||||
This was the only album Cabal ever released way back in 1990 and, once again, Vic Records grace us with a reissue of a nice little underground gem. Midian won't necessarily turn heads these days because the field is so flooded, but it is a nice varied melodic death metal album—not melodic in the Gothenburg sense. Cabal's brand of death metal is pretty old school garnished with a strong razor-sharp thrash edge, which is bound to draw in a few thrashers especially since the vocals are harsh but not overly guttural, often a sticking point for some. There's definitely an influence from the most extreme thrash of the mid-80s here. The guys throw in a heavy and healthy dose of melody without compromising the brute force of the music. Too bad they would only go to release only this one album. Additional Information - 2019 reissue on Vic Records reviewed. |
