VALGRIND (It) – Condemnation CD

Valgrind have now arguably delivered their masterwork: “Condemnation”. Undeniably and 1000% Death Metal to the core, there´s an intangible “something”, a never-belabored uniqueness, that now sets these Italians apart from so much stock-standard Death Metal. For sure, their roots lay in the genre´s old school still, but the bits and pieces they pull and recombine are unexpected but most definitely welcome; no particular scene or substyle or specific year is selected, just the focus on strong songwriting and impassioned performance.
