Mixing up a myriad of influences ranging from Kreator to Deicide, the band delivers a pummelling nine tracks of metal fury. It\u2019s not all death metal grunts and breakneck speed though, I can hear some doom influences too. The light and shade of the songs work well, the band have obviously tried to construct the songs in such a way that you don\u2019t lose interest. The songs aren\u2019t too long either, I really like the way that the album flows. I can even hear some NWOBHM influences, Angel Witch for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The production is slightly too muddy for my taste but it&#8217;s more than adequate. The band are extremely talented musicians and delivers some blistering performances. There are lots of melodic moments too, with some fantastic guitar work. The band have shared stages with the likes of Suicidal Tendencies, Phil Anselmo and the Illegals and Obituary to name but a few. I\u2019m sure they deliver the goods live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assimilator -- Burial Hymn\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9e4rCzSkHEY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, a solid album, if you love your metal on the heavier side, check out Assimilator, you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/assimilatormetal.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/assimilatormetal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=f5c649f6c906110d7d2033295&amp;id=9d14c8ffb8&amp;e=a5f7eab755\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/assimilatormetal<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=f5c649f6c906110d7d2033295&amp;id=2de67fd510&amp;e=a5f7eab755\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/assimilator_metal\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Kenny Kendrick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana based thrash\/death metallers Assimilator unleash their self-titled album on Sep 16th.
