Mass Burial - Soul's Necrosis (2015)

   Mass Burial debuted in 2012 with "Of Carrion and Pestilence". It was a stunning album that followed the Swedish style of old school death metal. If we shoo off the thought that the death metal scene definitely suffers from Swedish death overdose in general only by bands from Sweden already (that leads to boredom), and things not getting better if similar bands keep forming in every other country with somewhat worthwhile metal scene, then this endeavor could seem promising. 
   However, Mass Burial's debut was a bit more experimenting and therefore less unified, and more diverse. Their return by "Soul's Necrosis" took the Swedish path more consistently. Excellent sound quality gave the well known "Swedish buzzsaw" sound more advantageous basics, and it was brought into highlight. The song structures also became more unified. The band had great and catchy riffs even on the previous album already, and they really did their best this time. But for the cost of less freedom if it's about experimenting and creativity, since the music had to fit into the strict rules of their preferred direction. And it turned out to be so good that it would be impossible to tell without and background information that they're not a Swedish death metal band. For those who dig the style and never can get enough of it, "Soul's Necrosis" might be a potential favorite.
