Suhrim are among the most known ug dm acts hailing from Belgium, so I'm glad I'm given the chance to check them out through this brand new offering of theirs. The cover seems that you got to deal with a band like Aborted, Anasarca and the likes though the topics in their lyrics cover a wider range of death metal - related matters. Plus, from their side it tends to be a bit humorous and sarcastic.

Fourteen songs included, plus a bonus live one, with good sound and a main riff reminiscent of the one after the bridge in Kaamos' "Corpus Vermiis". Their riffs are OK, most of them memorable, good groove and rhythms and not that complex songwriting. Pleasant to listen to in the beginning, I think though that in this plethora of tracks the listener may loose interest. Indeed, it's a "Happy Hour" release: you can listen to it with your friends in a party or a club, yet not feel the special personal occasion to absorb its notes, like it happens with Rottrevore, Necrophagia or Incantation par example. A couple of guitar works of theirs belong to the thrashier side of the genre, that doesn't mean of course that blastbeats are absent. Having the majority of tracks included at a level above the average, this album cannot be bad, neither mediocre. Enthusiasm and simplicity. But that's all.
