American Death Metal masters, Skeletal Remains has released their fifth album called ”Fragments of the Ageless”.
Abrasive and incessant is ‘Relentless Appetite’. That subtle touch of the drums after the intro is a carefully curated movement.
Interesting guitar riff duels takes place in ‘Cybernetic Harvest’. Thick guitars allow you to enjoy this twisted track.
‘To Conquer the Devout’ is absolutely about the groove and smashing bones. This brutal song is all about Death Metal to the core.
Sound changes in the intro of ‘Forever in Sufferance’. This is a very powerful one as this can stimulate all senses of a metalhead.
Aggressive from every direction is ‘Verminous Embodiment’. Do not hesitate, because the destruction and doom continue.
‘Ceremony of Impiety’ is a necessary rest, but it suggests a requiem is anticipated.
Direct violent sound arises with ‘Void of Despair’ that proceeds with this abnormal record.
Slow-paced intro, despite heavyweight and well composed is this song named ‘Unmerciful’.
Dark and enjoyable beginning has ‘…Evocation (The Rebirth)’ that will keep the listener trapped in this madness.
Skeletal Remains evolved and morphed into something monstruous dropping off the album ”Fragments of the Ageless” with some serious twists, blast beats, bends, distortion, whammy bars and deep hell sounds.
