Impiety-Ravage and conquer

Pulverised
2012

Long running Singapore based death-metallers Impiety return with another truly venomous and blasphemous release. Only a few months into 2012 and these guys already had a DVD, a live album and this new studio album out. Impiety believe in just knocking out totally brutal death metal with raging blasts of thrash interwoven. These guys play merciless music and have done so for two decades. They never get much off track or try any new avenues. We are given eight songs here and six of those are over five minutes in length. So that's fairly long given the single mindedness of their music direction. They toss finesse aside go for straight ahead and complete bashing of their instruments. For the most part they pull it off. These guys are veterans of the field and take pride in being very steady at their craft. They do run out of ideas for a few brief periods, but they never run out of energy. This album does require some patience on the part of the listener, but overall I felt satisfied with the results.

Impiety-Dominator

2008
Pulverized


Singapore’s Impiety have been around since the early 1990’s and have put out quite a few releases over the years. This EP contains “Black Vomit” which is a Sarcofago cover plus several originals. What we have is a noisy and dizzy display of death metal with some thrash bursts worming their way in every now and then. There’s a whole lot constant double bass smashing through and some guttural vocals chanting on about Satan and other such topics. The guitar actually tends to get lost in the steady stream of assault on ears and I think that is a slight production shortcoming. The overall is actually somewhat dimensional and actually a bit of a throwback to early-mid 1990’s death metal. The vocals are probably not as aggressive as they were hoping and they are terribly consistent. When they really hit is when slow the pace down some and shoot in some thrash guitar licks. Not only do these parts stand out as the best bits here, but they actually sound more comfortable during these parts then they do during the chaotic whirlwind approach that dominates most of the running time. There are a few moments of interest and a great deal of material you have likely heard before many times over.
