Review

Yet another album from the ever-reliable Avulsed, Phoenix Cryptobiosis sees the band treating us to an addictive mix of brutal, melodic and thrashy death metal. Needless to say, heaviness is front and centre on this one, gluing everything together and giving that crushing feeling throughout the album. Lots of speed as well, though they don't go over the top and things never get out of control. There are often slower passages where things get a lot more melodic and sound kind of mysterious, for lack of a better word, providing a nice relief from the breakneck speed. There's nothing especially surprising here; Avulsed gave birth to a bunch of well-written and well-executed songs that all gel well together and Phoenix Cryptobiosis is one of those albums that flows well without hiccups and just calls for repeat plays.
