Firespawn (SWE) – The
Reprobate 28.04.2017
Century Media Records
Firespawn was born in
Sweden in 2014 as Fireborn, then one year later they changed their
name to Firespawn. Nevertheless band members started decades ago in
bands such as Necrophobic; Usurpress; Entombed A.D.; Dark
Funeral..etc. One of them is L.G. Petrov who was the vocalist in cult
bands such as Nihilist; Entombed and Morbid, where he played together
with the best singer ever: Dead. What great stories could he tell!
Really when listen and
review any album, not the members are important first, but the music
and the releases.
Firespawn first bastard
was the 7"EP called "Lucifer has spoken" in august
2015. Both song ('Lucifer Has spoken' and 'The emperor') got a visual
release too that did a starting fire to Firespawn legion. First LP/CD
“Shadow Realm” was released three months later in November the
same year that has been re-released on CD in 2016 by Mazzar Records.
Eleven songs of “Shadow
Realms” contained the two songs of the 7”EP and got a new video
for the song 'All Hail' too. As song-titles spoken, Firespawn singing
about the dark side.
When 'Serpent of the
Ocean' started I was not disappointed. The music correctly fits to
lyrics as brutal, but melodic, real headbanging Death Metal that for
example Deicide knew in “Serpents/Insineratehymn” era. L.G.
singing more brutal than ever, in 'Blood Eagle' the riffs in the
middle of the song like a Slayer song from "Divine
Intervention".
Intense, brutal, mainly
mid-tempo, but faster parts are not alien for these guys around age
of 45! As biography says, they lives in Death Metal everyday so Death
Metal is in their veins. They are still hungry for brutality and
that's an honor for the style and for the fans too.
These men played Death
Metal when most of today fans were just a sperm and they still know
and never left the way of left hand path. Obviously every band get
any influences, especially if he wrote already a lot of songs, but
counter to many old bands, they don't want to travel back in 60'/70'
years when they were kids. Firespawn follow the path when they was a
teenager and their mind and flesh are opened for the real way of
Death Metal. Only Death is real!
“The Reprobate” is
killer and brutal as Death Metal was in in mid 90's and needs
attention. These guys will tear your spine out. 10 songs in nearly 43
minutes
Respect!
