Formed in 1988, CIANIDE set out to forge the heaviest, most unrelenting Death Metal, and over the years, they've never wavered from that path. Their 6th full-length album, Gods of Death, is a testament to their enduring legacy—delivering uncompromising, riff-driven death, doom, and destruction. This release stands as another monumental chapter, demonstrating why CIANIDE has remained a pillar of the underground for over 34 years.
Rooted in the tradition of old-school death metal (OSDM), the album features crushing guitar riffs that shift effortlessly between galloping rhythms and slow, doom-laden passages. It’s a brutal assault from start to finish, paying homage to their influences like Celtic Frost while continuing to evolve their own sound. The raw, grinding guitar tone and guttural vocals create an atmosphere of pure, unfiltered aggression, perfectly capturing the essence of the genre.
For fans of no-frills, no-compromise death metal, this record is a must-listen. With Motörhead-style energy infused into death-doom-soaked passages, CIANIDE proves that the underground is far from dead. Gods of Death is not just a continuation of their legacy, but a powerful statement of metal's staying power. CIANIDE kills, and this album is yet another crushing victory under their bullet belts!
