BLIGHTMASS
“Severed From Your Soul”
(Great Dane Records)
Battle Helm Rating
Back in the day Floridian death metal was da shit. Bands like Death, Malevolent Creation, Morbid Angel and a handful more rocked my world. Then came the whole Swedish scene and blew my world away. To this day I am still a major fan of these kinds of death metal. So when a band comes along that mixes the two, I for one sit up and take notice. This debut album from French/American BLIGHTMASS is one hell of a death metal assault. If you like your death metal heavy and thick and with a guttural growler then this is the one to check out. Bloody nice one this one. Anders Ekdahl
