Vehemency
Interment existed already during the Swedish death metal boom in the early 90s, but it wasn’t until last year when their first proper full-length Into the Crypts of Blasphemy was released - so in a way, Interment isn’t just another newly found death metal group playing the same riffs that bands like Entombed and Grave played twenty years earlier...

...but that’s exactly what these veterans are still playing on Into the Crypts of Blasphemy: buzzsaw guitar tone and a murderous overall atmosphere that reeks of death. The production is they keyword here, it’s so killing - causing a feeling of choking - that I can’t but respect it. This is the true soundtrack for graveyards and corpses!

Compositionally, Into the Crypts of Blasphemy offers zero innovation but that is compensated by the sheer power of the instruments that are handled with solid and precise execution. What Interment also realizes to do is to keep the total playing time enough short to retain the music’s intensity throughout. Also, the apocalyptic and kind-of-melodic beginning of ”Sacrificial Torment” is a nice feature that soon after returns to the usual savage torture.

As was the case with the recently reviewed Puteraeon debut, there’s no way of recommending Into the Crypts of Blasphemy for those looking for interesting twists and surprising flavors in their death metal; this is pure old school death metal, made by the old schoolers for the old schoolers. The target audience is narrow but surely devoted and will rejoice what Interment presents here.
