A Gruesome Find

Great Melodic Death/Black Metal from USA in spirit of such bands as Amon Amarth & ...And Oceans, Absu & Emperor. P.S. I don't have these albums yet, but soon I will order it on CD!!
The Fire That Burns In Hell (2003)
This is the first album of the demons from the states. Stylistically this is a mixture of early Absu and Emperor of course they have also some personal elements, the songs are all over four minutes and they have a progressive touch such as in "Summoning the nocturnal spirit"ќ that starts with a piano melody that later evolves into a black metal song but the initial melody it is kept and appears later in the song ,and there are also again some progressive combination in the rhythm and not many black metal bands dare to play in such manner. The only pure black metal song is "Blasphemous Bloodstorm",ќ a song of have summoned by these four demons. There are some passages in the song "Devoid of humanity"ќ that are making me shiver at so much anger developed, such high seed that interrupted by slow breaks and that the holocaust is unleashed again! One of my favorites songs also is "...as the wind blows in darkness"ќ another song influenced by black metal that has some high speed passages, a pity that the speed in not kept on the entire song. This is an album to check out! 90/100

Minions Engage (2005)
A Gruesome Find is one of the best black metal groups I've heard that have come from the states. The guitars start out the intro for the tracks and are closely followed by the drum beat. Everything is laid down quite heavily, as a black metal band should do, but not so heavily as to be idiotic and make them seem desperate to come across as dark. The vocals are well utilized throughout the tracks, though they occasionally follow an odd pace that seems to force them to end early or late. This sounds a bit odd and could probably have been remedied if the vocals were sped up or slowed, depending on the necessity, at those moments. The drums and guitars are incredibly well used, working together to lay down the beat in a way that blends them together into a perfect sound. This album is really good, the only thing A Gruesome Find needs to work on is the timing for the vocals in my opinion. A great album. Key Tracks: The Nightmare Within. 100/100

Of Blood And Nobility (2007)
Hell Fuck Yeah!!!! Here we have the latest album from "A Gruesome Find"! A Gruesome Find is an unsigned band based in the USA and I'm quite surprised about that because this is some serious and good shit. They have financed this album by them selves and is full with high quality and tight fucking black-death metal that is brought in a digipack format. A Gruesome Find has released a small list with satanic sounding black/death releases, those can be found at their band section by following the link bellow this review. The start of this album "Of Blood and Nobility" begins with an nice played old school and almost thrash metal kind of guitar riffs but is taking a complete turn to some hellish aggressive black-death moves. The tempos on this album are mainly fast and up-tempo alternated with here and there some slower moves. The production is fucking excellent on this disk and I have already a favorite track on this cd which is the second track named: "Into the Realm of Darkness" with cool played heavy death metal tunes mixed with fast and single snare blasting black metal riffs. Well, the whole disk is full with awesome material and found out that I have more favorite tracks on this album release. The high-pitched vocals are unbelievable aggressive and sounds fucking killer as it should be with this kind of hellish attacks. The four headed A Gruesome Find recorded twelve oblivion and technical black/death tracks in the studio with a complete playing time of 54 fucking minutes. That's almost a hour of high quality classic black death with a modern flavor. This sick disk is definitely a recommendation for the death metal and the black metal fans. So don't fucking wait and check these guys out it's really worth the money to grab this in digipack format full length. 100/100
