VITAL REMAINS – DECHRISTIANIZE (OLYMPIC RECORDINGS/CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS)



Unfortunately it took the presence of Deicide main-man Glen Benton on vocals on this cracking Vital Remains album for people to sit up and take notice of this talented yet underrated band. No bad thing, I always liked it when bands have guests musicians, and to hear Benton growl and choke his way through 8-minute plus tracks that VR are renowned for, well, it’s worth the price alone.
However, ‘Dechristianize’ was much more than that, a superior album in a year that was clogged full of excellent extreme Metal records. The blasphemous title track, ‘Rush of Deliverance’, ‘At War with God’, Vital Remains, like the aforementioned Akercocke, don’t so much thrash out a song as weave its devilry, constricting around your senses like an anaconda squeezing the bleedin’ life outta ya. And unlike the majority of the Black & Death Metal bands out there VR have a hint of melody running through their songs, with some tasty guitar licks and solos that amplify their sound.
If ever there was such a thing as classy, Satanic Metal, then this would be it.

Evil or Very Mad

Agreed that VR remains very underrated, much like Voivod, in many ways. Good review! Crushing album...
