When your Hifi system is damaged and only one of the two speakers delivers sound, it can bring a more old school experience: The fact of listening to music in MONO!
It's more old school, because in the 70's some vynil players only had a speaker and didn't deliver the whole spectrum... It can become quite surprising if you try it with albums you know very well: Sometimes you expect a guitar riff on the left, and there's nothing, just drum breaks AhAh
hopefully for my reviewing needs the music of the Greek metal band VULTUR isn't particularly full of guitar polyphonies or strange things happening in stereo. This is old school death metal, or should I say a mix between old "satanic" death in a quite brutal 90's manner and the Floridian style of once.
By moments the music can seriously remember of early DEICIDE (Especially the first one "Deicide" and "Once upon the cross"), with a bit of ENCABULOS ("Abandoning the flesh" MCD), some old SINISTER, perhaps old ALTARS (Hol/ That might be due to the drum sound mostly), with a good dose of 90's Floridian Death metal à la old RESURRECTION or MORTA SKULD.
Sometimes the music is fast and blasting, sometimes it's more mid-paced, sometimes it uses the old thrash DM beat, so globally it's quite varied rhythmically.
The production is quite good in a 90's style, not to the level of a 90's/ 00's album, but for a demo it's good enough.
Some riffs are quite cool, some parts are quite kicking, while some are less interesting (I'm not so fond of all the more mid-paced parts); The band can come up with cool (Or even very cool) riffs and nice guitars while some parts are a little too common.
Globally it's a quite good Death metal demo that could please fans of 90 death between the "satanic" and more US styles. https://vultur.bandcamp.com
