UMUR
"The Dead Are Screaming" is the debut full-length studio album by Australian death metal act Werewolves. The album was released through Prosthetic Records in April 2020. Werewolves formed in 2019 and features among others Psycroptic drummer David Haley in the ranks. Guitarist Matt Wilcock and lead vocalist/bassist Sam Bean are both associated with acts like Abramelin, The Antichrist Imperium, and The Berzerker. So Werewolves is pretty much an Australian underground extreme metal supergroup.

Stylistically this is brutal and vicious sounding deathgrind featuring both deep growling vocals and occasionally raw snarling vocals. Not surprisingly the music is predominantly very fast-paced, but Werewolves also play mid-paced heavy parts. While this is not a one to one direct comparison, I´d say references to an artist like Terrorizer are valid. "The Dead Are Screaming" aren´t the most unique sounding deathgrind release on the scene, although it´s certainly well composed, but Werewolves more than anything win because they are skilled musicians performing their music with great passion and conviction.

"The Dead Are Screaming" features a raw, detailed, and powerful sounding production job, perfectly suiting the material. So while Werewolves still need to tweek their songwriting just a bit to make their songs a little more memorable, "The Dead Are Screaming" is still a high quality deathgrind release, and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
