Scripture and Screams: Entrails: Raging Death CD Review

Death metal has many forms and comes from many different countries, but there is always something to be said for the sound and tenacity of Swedish Death Metal! Having gotten its start way back in 1990/1991 and with many starts and restarts, Entrails has hit the nail on the head with the release of Raging Death, their third studio album and first with Metal Blade Records. With comparisons to other bands like Dismember, Entombed and Grave (all great bands), I feel like their sound is more reminiscent of the legendary Obituary. Continuing to refine their sound, the technical proficiency of the band progresses even further with this album with such bone crunching tracks as “In Pieces”, “Cadaverous Stench” , “Descend To The Beyond” and “The Cemetery Horrors”. Every track on the CD would be a great example to play for someone that is looking to get into Death Metal, and it would not surprise me if any of the tracks from this CD made their way into a horror film soundtrack. In a statement from the band about the release, they state: “This is the perfect next step for ENTRAILS. A massive stench of death, right in your face! ‘Raging Death’ as a title suited the album as a whole, since it’s pure death metal without mercy!” * The future is bright for Death Metal, and with bands like Entrails leading the way, it will be a messy delight the whole way down to Hell!
