| No Souls Lost - Eulogy of Genocide
by HopeCrusher
Back with a vengeance is No Souls Lost with their new full length, Eulogy of Genocide,
complete with a fucking sick cover of Decapitated’s Spheres of Madness (a band I am sad to say I have never listened to). EoD
is 9 tracks of spine-ripping metal that easily destroys their previously released and quite awesome demo.
When last
we left NSL, they were a bone-crushing amalgam of just about every style of extreme metal you could come up with. Eulogy of
Genocide finds the band with a much more focused death metal vision and while I loved their jack-of-all-trades approach on the
demo, this new sound suits them so much better. As I’ve said more times than I can count, Ryan Johnson is one of the best
vocalists out there doing this style of music. He can get guttural without sounding like he might hock something up on you and
he can go high without making you want to stab yourself in the ears. This may very well be the best stuff he’s done, to date.
The same thing can be said for the rest of the band, as well. From the first guitar lick to the last drum beat, No Souls Lost
is dedicated to kicking your ass. Coffin and Vaporizer go from tech-heavy speed to neck-breaking groove and make it sound easy
while Tekk and Guts n’ Gore beat the rhythm into your head, nonstop. This is just one of those CDs that makes you throw your
horns up on a regular basis (and consequently make you look like a jackass at work, by the way).
If I am gonna nitpick
something, it will be the production, but it really is nitpicking. I just wish the drums had a bit more life to them. The snare
and bass just sound kinda flat to me. That’s it, though. I have nothing else remotely negative to say about this album. Thanks
guys for renewing my interest in this genre, as I haven’t listened to any death metal in ages. See ya later, I am gonna go dig
up my Dying Fetus CDs.
