INFERION
"This Will Decay" (Horror Pain
Gore Death; 2014)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
Inferion are black and death metal, sometimes referred
to as "blackened death metal." They hail from Florida, the "Sunshine State," but
there is no 'sunshine' emitting from this band, no, no. This trio of
skull-smashers take no prisoners on this, their eighth disc of death. Most of
the time black metal is pretty predictable in its sound approach. Death metal
can vary depending on who is growling but the music is what always kicks my face
from left to right. Inferion's "This Will Decay" is one heavy Chevy. The guitar
has the bite of a vicious gator and the follow-up of hungry piranhas. I found
myself head-banging but also listening to the ever present incredible guitar
work.
"This Will Decay" is fourteen tracks of brain-crushing metal. A few of the
tracks have dirty solos, and I was astoundingly impressed. The beginning riff
usually sets the pace and the bass and drums begin to dig a Grand Canyon groove
throughout each track.
This is my first venture into Inferion territory and,
since I'm here, I'll have to check out more of their musically administered
brutality.
Inferion: Carlos Delgado Reyes, Frank Gross and Nick Reyes (who continues to
write music while serving in the US ARMY).

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
