Loudblast formed in 1985 and are known as France?s first death metal band. Although they may be a lesser-known band in the death metal scene, they have produced powerful albums over the years that have managed to stand the test of time. Burial Ground, the seventh studio release for Loudblast is no exception. From start to finish the entire album detonates and explodes the eardrums of the listener as it effectively meets its goal; a composition of sheer viciousness that is as raw as it is powerful. ?Ascending Straight In Circle? is one of the most commanding songs on the album. A single guitar leads the track into its meaty center, one that is infectious and violent tempered. From start to finish the entire beast of a song is imaginative and unabridged. The musicians all play their roles to perfection, tying every end together perfectly while leaving the listener satisfied. Although it?s possible to write a mini-novella about each and every song on this record, it may be more effective to make mention of just a few of the strongest tracks on the album. Other stout tracks include ?From Dried Bones? and ?Soothing Torments?. ?From Dried Bones? starts out slow, giving the listener a break from the ferocious four songs that preceded it. Only for a moment though.... it quickly begins to gallop and consume. The vocals are incredibly strong on this one; the anger behind the words is transferrable, causing a chain reaction that?s felt in the blood. The whole thing is a beast, almost a soundtrack for psychosis, reverberating in the mind as one experiences his or her own pathology. ?Soothing Torments? is immediately reminiscent of something that should have been a track off of Coroner?s powerhouse of an album, Mental Vortex. It has an almost eerie sway to it, captivating and substantial. Its chaotic morbidity strong-arms the listener and doesn?t let up. The drum sound couples with the sway of the chaotic guitar tempo and uses its notes to paint all the components of a morgue into the psyche. Loudblast were almost built for fans of Death, Coroner, Massacra, Misanthrope and Agressor. Don't miss it!
