This is the third full-length album from Wersterstede, Germany trio. Most bands are trying to incorporate as much stuff as they can to differentiate themselves from the forefathers of Death Metal. Well GRAVEYARD GHOUL does the polar opposite. Their sound is raw, the production value is fine but you can hear the scrapes and dings from the drum set throughout the album. The instruments are not filtered unto a computer and then remade so everything sounds perfect, far from it. The music is raw, the energy is at the forefront of the album. It sounds like it was recorded in the early nineties in the heyday of the genre. Make no bones about it, it won't break any records on originality nonetheless. This is a perfect example of a band that wants to pay homage to a genre that has been watered down throughout the last decade. They do incorporate some semblance of Thrash Metal on a number of songs mainly the opener, ''Mouldered to Madness'', you can definitely detect that type of intensity. It's buried deep inside of some of the songs on the album but I can feel that type of energy, that insanity that Thrash Metal brought to the table back in the day. It may not be the most original of bands but what they bring is pure aggression and a nod to the old school goodness of early Death Metal. They keep it real and they don't push any boundaries than they should. A very strong release from these guys!
