The famous Brutalism.com was the portal who wrote the very first review of our latest release - DAY OF EXECUTION 'Dead Burning to Ashes'. The review is brillant (5 stars on 5 available!!!) and we couldn't even imagine the better promotion's beggining. Check it out by yourselves:
"Now, this is what I call killer oldschool death metal album! Day Of
Execution come from Varna,Bulgaria and "Dead Burning To Ashes" is their
first CD unleashed upon mankind via the Polish label Brewery Prod. The
first thing that makes impression after the music starts is the
excellent production - all instruments sound heavy and powerful and
every riff or drum beat can be easily heard. But the good compositional
ideas is what really matters to me and Day Of Execution have plenty of
them...
After the short spooky intro, the album bursts out with "Vortex Of
Flesh" - a track that begins in the mid-tempo Asphux-like death metal
and ends with Deicide-ian blastbeats and double vocals. Day Of
Execution's frontman Svetoslav Vasilev is a monster behind the mike -
his roars are deep and furious yet you are able to hear the words that
are coming out his throat. "His Ghost In The Morgue" present some
Swedish death/thrash elements entwined in the dense wall of brutality.
The following "Rot With Me" reveals the skilfully playing of the two
guitarists Ivaylo Mladenov and Ivaylo Gradev - their melodic riffing
reminds me of the later Carcass albums (the "Heartwork" album in
particular). Good words should be said also for the tight rhythm section
in the figures of Plamen Petkov (drums) and Momchil Karamichev (bass).
The title track "Day Of Execution" is a brutal death/grind attack which
is followed by "Evil Dead Nemesis" which is a track in the vein of Bolt
Thrower enriched with some deep grunts more typical for the gore/grind
bands. The last two tracks are "Warriors Of Uruk" which is slow,crushing
and with some decent guitar leads,and the final of this remarkable
album which is a cover of the Bolt Thrower's classic "Cenotaph".
In case you are looking for a qualitative band able to combine the
best elements from European and US oldschool death metal scene - look no
further! Check out Day Of Execution - you can hear some of their music
and purchase their debut album at the site of Brewery Prod. "Dead
Burning To Ashes" is one solid slab of smashing death metal with brutal
but also groovy tracks. Good albums like this one are not very common
thing today so this band really deserves your attention!"
