UMUR
"Doomsday Rituals" is the tenth full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Centinex. The album was released through Agonia Records in July 2016. It´s the successor to "Redeeming Filth" from November 2014. "Doomsday Rituals" proves that "Redeeming Filth" wasn´t just a one-off comeback album for Centinex. Instead it appears that bandleader/bassist Martin Schulman opts to continue with both Centinex and Demonical.

"Doomsday Rituals" features the same linuep who recorded "Redeeming Filth" and it´s overall also a very similar sounding release. The music style is still old school Swedish death metal which is predominantly mid-paced, heavy, and brutal. It´s a pretty standard take on the genre and other than the fact that Centinex have opted not to use a HM-2 dominated guitar tone, "Doomsday Rituals" sound pretty much like you expect it to.

The sound production is professional, the songwriting solid but nothing out of the ordinary, and the musicianship is strong. So you get everything you expect from a release like this, but you don´t get anything beyond that. Centinex at this point is the very definition of a run-of-the-mill type Swedish death metal act. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
