UMUR
"Those Who Have Lost The Right To Exist" is the debut full-length studio album by German death metal act Amboss. The album was released through Crypta Records 1993. Amboss released the "Lost..." demo cassette tape album in 1992 but other than the demo, "Those Who Have Lost The Right To Exist" was the only release by Amboss before they disbanded.

Although Amboss is the German word for Anvil, don´t make the mistake of thinking that Amboss sound anything like the legendary Canadians. This is old school death metal with the occasional progressive ideas thrown in (orchestral parts, clean male and female vocals, acoustic guitar parts, song structures in general), and also some technical death metal leanings. Amboss are actually relatively original, but I´d mention fellow countrymen in early Incubator and Dark Millennium as valid references.

"Those Who Have Lost The Right To Exist" features a decent sounding production, but there is room for improvement. The musicianship is on a high level on all posts, and it´s obvious these guys are both skilled musicians and creative composers. Not all songwriting ideas are equally successful, but at least Amboss have the boldness and courage to try. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
