Dark-Rites : “Welcome to Eternity” Digital 9th December 2018 Self Released. USA / UK / Swedish Death Metal band.

When talented musicians from different parts of the world join forces to bring a great band , it can’t be better.

Started few years ago only in 2016, they have already made three releases in one year! This proves that they create and are motivated to play and share their compositions to the world.

They have made a brilliant album with each song being individually scripted. Even if some have a link to another , they have composed in a way the story of the lyrics is felt through the song. Some have blasting drums when some have melodic parts.

What is amazing to hear is for a Death Metal band they have lots of Thrash Metal influences gaining this band a must to love and spread. We could tell Dark Rites are the link in the early nineties when Thrash became Death. Yet they are recent!

Strong heavy powerful riffs , a growling compressed voice , melodic shreds they have it all to conquer the world. You will automatically love this band even if like me you are not such into Death Metal.

The cover artwork I received in the shape of a Tape one is amazing and sends you into a weird dream with all the colors. You are like hypnotised and need to have a deep look as you have impression to see different things depending on the first sight. A strong logo to catch up your eyes to know where you are going.

“Lying” , “Welcome to Eternity” , “No Longer Moving Forward”, “Fist Through the wall” … twelve tracks with intensity and different feelings. Influences are ranging from Pantera, Exodus , Testament, Dissection, Vomitory, In Flames, Carnal Forge, Death…

It is a kick ass journey and you will press play again and again. Just check a bit to blow your mind with pleasure :

So order this kick ass album from their bandcamp page and follow them. I must say I’m impressed by the powerful sound as the compositions, they have released a masterpiece in the genre that defies all the top bands and can easily get onto the higher shelf. A brilliant digital piece to own without a doubt 100/100.
