de deathfest II

Europe has North America beat when it comes to metal fests. So far it’s undisputed, but we’re catching up. Regional “deathfests” are popping up across the States, and while Maryland Deathfest is the biggest event in extreme metal, others are beginning to make a name for themselves. Maryland Deathfest has a knack for pulling in rare live events and one-off reunions, but Delaware Deathfest scored a coveted set from the newly re-minted Skinless, as well as other big names such as Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Deicide, and more. Catch photos from day two of the event below, courtesy of Maclyn Bean Photography.

The same band we've come to love (and boy, do I love Azure) is still there, their optimistic, hopeful, powerful heart still beating underneath the added musical layers. And that's what makes all of those additions work; in other works, they'd come off as extraneous or forced, the mark of a band trying too hard to be something they're not. But here, the extra tones, the contrasts, the counterpoints, and the overall structure of the album work so well because they are in constant communication with Azure's style and their artistic direction.
Cerebral Rot – Excretion of Mortality

Truth be told, Cerebral Rot have found themselves in a bit of a sophomore slump with Excretion of Mortality. Even at faster paces, the songs feel robbed of urgency, and the whole affair just feels labored. Those aching for a slab of pungent death metal will surely have a good time regardless, and the music is every bit as disgusting as one would hope based on the grotesque cover art.
