Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels (2008)

Opening track is full of harsh noise and feedback. Your reward for enduring this? Below average Death Metal.

Round 2: Please just let me die. I've developed a process now. If I have to spend twice as much time on the band, and nothing is better I lower the rating by half. Dead Congregation sucks. Mournful Congregation is far and away the superior Congregation.

but, Zero, what does the album sound like?

Have you heard death metal before? Great. Take that sound, now imagine it in the most generic possible presentation. Now make it worse with super muddy production. That is the sound of this album. This is the Nickleback of Death Metal. People who do like this album describe it as having Morbid Angle vibes. I think that is an insult to Morbid Angel, and even if I didn't it will still beg the question; why don't I just listen to Morbid Angel instead?
