VIRCOLAC - Masque (Sealed) (CD)

Beside the new Possessed record "Masque" is THE Death Metal record of the month, and VIRCOLAC are proof that within the framework of old-school Death Metal you can move somewhere between (of course early) Morbid Angel and Obliteration and at the same time bring innovation and progress into this genre without hurting the essences or digressing too far from the core. The Irish shine between dissonant chaos and archaic atmosphere, know how to use dynamic developments in a targeted way and how to incorporate tempo changes that add an impressive unpredictability. This album embodies Death Metal as morbid, corrupt and rotten as it must sound - and becomes a must for genre fans!
