Ah, i love cool album covers. In a sea of never-ending releases sometimes it is the deciding factor what i check out for the first time. Coming from Brownsville the most southern city in Texas, USA, the extreme brutal death metal band SIGNS OF OMNICIDE has so far released this one album ERA OF OMNISCIENCE in 2018 which combines brutal death metal with a few elements of tech death and deathcore.

This four piece that consists of Jaxsyn Samcro Teller (drums), Paul Rodriguez (guitar), Danny Villarreal (vocals), and Joseph Bakri (bass) cranks out an extremely noisy feasting assault to the ears that lasts for 33 minutes and features the expected fiery quick tempos of guitar riffs, death metal growls and blastbeat drumming fury with all those wickedly wild labyrinthine twists and turns that death metal is oh so good at.

Despite the tech and core elements, ERA OF OMNISCIENCE is mostly an incessant rampage of slam death metal that carries on the traditions of Suffocation, Devourment and Internal Bleeding and offers yet another chugging palm-muted riff frenzy that in all honesty is delivered quite well but doesn’t stand out in any way from the legion of other imitators that have cropped up over the last 30 years since this style emerged.

To distinguish these types of bands from another is often like dissecting a maggot infested carcass in that the subtleties are so minuscule that it almost seems impossible to discern. While some more brutal death metal bands offer a few jazzy touches here and there or some sound effects, SINGS OF OMNICIDE is pretty much on full fury all the time. The riffs are probably more slammy than most and the deathcore elements of the vocals do stand out a bit but overall this is just a generic slice of a much greater slam / brutal death universe that grows exponentially by the day. Nice but ultimately forgettable.
