GOD DETHRONED – Bloody Blasphemy CD

“Bloody Blasphemy” was pure metal euphoria the moment I turned it on. You know that chill you get down your spine when something has you really excited? That’s what I felt during every moment of this album. The sound is most certainly blackened death, but each song is unique and easy to differentiate from one another. You have the tracks “Boiling Blood”, “A View of Ages”, and “Firebreath” which are simply fast, straight-forward thrash-assaults (there’s a part in the first song I mentioned where it slows down and makes me think of Morbid Angel’s “Where the Slime Live”). Then, you have songs like “The Execution Protocol”, “Under the Golden Wings of Death”, and “Bloody Blasphemy” which contain catchy-as-hell riffs and even catchy-as-hell choruses (at the end of “The Execution Protocol” you are even treated to a rather nice piano outro, only to get your ass kicked by “Boiling Blood” shortly thereafter.)
