The Evil Dead - Earth Inferno
The Evid Dead, apart from a fan series of movies featuring the godly Bruce Campbell, is an Argentinian quintet that seems to perform something that I could not describe any differently that classic metal, but with vocals that sound a bit like Dissection only a little dodgier.
While the antithesis is supposed to create intrigue and draw the listener to this, the two distinct styles mix as good as water and oil (ie not at all) ending up in a rather decent album musically, if only a little too straightforward, being mangled by the lack of a convincing vocalist. If I were them I’d be holding auditions for a clean singer now.

Black Anvil to release new studio album “As Was” on January 13th 2017
New York City’s Black Anvil return with “As Was”, the staggering 50-minute follow-up to 2014’s “Hail Death”. Atmospheric and melodic without relenting on any of the ferocity Black Anvil have always been known for, “As Was” seamlessly weaves through eight monumental passages of extreme metal art.
More diverse, complex, and thought-provoking than anything they’ve done before, “As Was” is a stellar representation of modern black metal, and of Black Anvil’s continuous progression and songcraft.
