From the cryptic depths of obscurity, Vengeance Horde returns with Surging Vengeance, a relentless barrage of blackened death metal fury. Following the raw savagery of their 2022 self-titled EP, this full-length debut proves that the wait was well worth it. Channeling the war-torn spirit of the Australian extreme metal underground, the album strikes with unrelenting intensity, evoking the blood-soaked battlefields once sonically conquered by Bestial Warlust, Abominator, and early Deströyer 666.
Clocking in at just over half an hour, Surging Vengeance is a whirlwind of razor-sharp riffs, frenzied percussion, and unhinged vocal incantations. Each track surges forward with primal aggression, leaving no moment for respite. The production is suitably raw yet clear enough to allow the maelstrom of instrumentation to shine, capturing the true essence of controlled chaos.
While the inclusion of two re-recorded tracks from the debut EP may raise eyebrows, they seamlessly integrate into the album’s unyielding assault, serving as a reminder of the project’s unwavering dedication to pure sonic destruction. The identity of Vengeance Horde remains shrouded in mystery, but whether a lone architect or a clandestine collective, one thing is certain—whoever is behind this onslaught possesses an innate understanding of this violent craft.
For the uninitiated, this may be nothing more than sheer noise, but for those attuned to the brutality of war-torn black/death metal, Surging Vengeance is a triumph of auditory devastation. A masterclass in bestial savagery, this record is not just a tribute to the past but a ferocious statement of intent.
