I Become Death is one turbocharged neck-breaker after another, with a vibrant production that enhances the visceral, electrifying power of the band's onslaught. It's an homage to the punk-influenced Swedish death metal of the early and mid-'90s, favoring speed as well as chainsawing guitars, maniacal vocal explosiveness, and bludgeoning, jackhammering grooves. Although the music's core attractiveness lies in its full-bore destructiveness, HerezA don't neglect melody. These are well-written songs that stick in your head every bit as effectively as they provide high-octane headbang fuel. www.nocleansinging.com
