Bloodstrike- In Death We Rot
by Thom Jackson
Not every day does the Denver scene get a good take on death metal. It often seems too diluted. Not this time. Bloodstrike put out their debut record In Death We Rot in August and it is sure to have even non-metalheads grooving. Rapid-fire drum beats, ripping guitar lines and demonic vocals dominate a record that never gives its listeners a chance to come up for air- which is a good thing when listening to metal.
The guitar work caught my attention- instead of just throwing show-off leads every which way, Bloodstrike moves through their songs as a cohesive unit, which definitely comes off as more professional. The album is a solid listen.
