Throatpunch - Needledeath

Review by Zach Ware

The album Needledeath by Throatpunch is a brutal display of unrelenting aggression and unapologetic intensity. From the opening track "Bloodbath" to the closing notes of "Death March," the album never lets up, delivering a relentless barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and savage vocals.

Throatpunch's sound is rooted in classic death metal, but they also incorporate elements of thrash and black metal, creating a unique and uncompromising sound that is both heavy and chaotic. The guitars are razor-sharp and blistering, with plenty of tremolo picking and dissonant chords that add to the album's overall sense of unease.

The drums are equally punishing, with thunderous blasts and double-kick patterns that drive the songs forward with a relentless fury. The vocals are guttural and raw, with plenty of growls and screams that perfectly complement the music's aggressive nature.

Summary by Zach Ware

Needledeath is an album that will appeal to fans of extreme metal who crave unrelenting brutality and uncompromising aggression. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to brave its sonic onslaught, it's a rewarding and exhilarating experience.
