Crucified
Mortals hail from Cleveland, OH and have converted many thrash
and death metal fans to their dungeon. This four-piece have extended
their hands with their first EP, Converted by Decapitation. Although
the songs are fairly short and straight to the point, I find this
EP a little tiring but not altogether bad. First, the sound is more
reminiscent of mid to late-80's thrash with late-80's to early-90's
death influence... not bad at all. However, the production is also
reminiscent of mid to late-80's mastering... which doesn't sound all
that "digital" at all. That isn't really a bad thing either
for this style, but doesn't tread any water. Also, the fact that this
particular sound has been accomplished all too much and exceeded tenfold
by many other bands... doesn't exactly make this real interesting.
Lastly, I will say that I hope their forthcoming album is more intense
and better-mastered because if that's so... people will surely be
treated. Crucified Mortals definitely have their own power, they now
need to mold it together! Not too bad. Rating: 68 Reviewed By: Thomas Mitchell |
