UMUR
"Reveal Your Soul for the Dead" is the fourteenth full-length studio album by Danish death metal act Illdisposed. The album was released through Massacre Records in August 2019. It´s the successor to "Grey Sky over Black Town" from May 2016. Since the release of "Grey Sky over Black Town", Illdisposed have been reduced to a quartet lineup, as guitarist Ken Holst has jumped ship (he would rejoin in 2023).

Stylistically the material on "Reveal Your Soul for the Dead" pretty much continues the predominantly mid-paced and heavy groove laden death metal style of the last couple of albums, but Illdisposed have not completely forgotten their mid-00s melodic death metal period, which tracks like "This Is Our Calling for the End" and "What Will I Become?" are here to remind us of. "What Will I Become?" even features an epic atmosphere during the chorus and the bridge just before the closing of the track, and the diversity of the songwriting ensures that "Reveal Your Soul for the Dead" is an entertaining listen for the duration of the 11 tracks, 42:43 minutes long playing time.

Illdisposed is one of the most seasoned death metal acts from Denmark and it´s audible that they are a tight playing unit, who master both the heavy brutal grooves and the more melodic death metal moments with ease and an understanding of both styles. Lead vocalist Bo Summer as usual growls through a lot of effects, but it works well and the vocals are pretty strong on this release. "Reveal Your Soul for the Dead" is a well produced album too, so all in all it´s another good quality effort from Illdisposed and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
