UMUR
"Dawn of the Stillborn" is the debut full-length studio album by Dutch thrash metal act Flesh Made Sin. The album was released through Karmageddon Media in November 2004. Flesh Made Sin were founded in Tilburg in 1999 and released two demos before being signed for the release of "Dawn of the Stillborn".
The music style on "Dawn of the Stillborn" is a brutal type of thrash metal, which often sounds almost eerily like "Hell Awaits (1985)"-era Slayer. The vocals are a death/thrash rabid dog snarling, but the riffs, the rhythms, and the guitar solos reek of 1985 Slayer. The sound production is also suitably raw and organic, which provides the material with the right environment to shine...
...and shine it does, if you can look past the obvious Slayer influence. Flesh Made Sin are skilled musicians who know what they do, and the material on the 8 track, 37:55 minutes long album are also well composed. It´s seldom outstanding, but definitely solid and very enjoyable thrash metal in the raw end of the spectrum. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
