UMUR
"Rise" is the third full-length studio album by Danish death metal act Deus Otiosus. The album was released through Deepsend Records in April 2014. It´s the successor to "Godless" from September 2012 and the quintet lineup who recorded the predecessor is intact on "Rise".

Stylistically the material on "Rise" continue the thrash infused and organic driven groove laden death metal style of the two preceding albums. Deus Otiosus have found a style and they stick to it...and why shouldn´t they? This is pretty damn solid and powerful death metal with a great organic tone. It´s not the most brutal type of death metal, but it´s not melodic death metal either. There´s a dark primal energy to the proceedings which is relatively unique, so while all elements of Deus Otiosus music are tried and true, they still manage to produce something which is a bit different from the norm. The vocals are relatively one-dimensional and pretty standard for the genre, but they get the job done.

"Rise" features a detailed, raw, and organic sounding production job, which perfectly suits the material. Upon conclusion "Rise" is yet another good quality release from Deus Otiosus and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
