Overlord - Fake Salvation (2023)


I really hope this review will give this album all the praise it deserves. The killer riffs makes this album an absolute stand out record for me. The song writing is excellent and the arrangements are well chosen which makes it easy to listen to the album as a whole. The song topics range from atrocities of war and the dark side of the human mind to straight out gore and horror, there are so many great riffs that it is almost insulting to highlight only a few examples. In other words, this isn't technical death metal, this is brutal death metal. Another thing that I like about this album is its structure.  The drumming is really awesome on all of the tracks. There is not one moment on this album where the drums sound bad. The blast beats are done with such great precision, they executed extremely well. If you’re looking for an album with the best blast beats, get this one. You will know what I mean. Production-wise, this album is clear keeping its brutality, clear enough to hear every note, which is nice since there are a lot of them.  Overall, "Fake Salvation" is an album that anyone who is a fan of extreme death metal that recalls an old-school vibe should check this out. It packs one hell of a punch with the interesting nature of its riff work and has more than enough variety in it to keep you interested. In the vein of CANCER , MASSACRE , early DEATH & BOLT THROWER !!
