Review by luajaz for Asphyx - Last One on Earth (1992)

God, I do love me some death doom. Composition and riffage-wise, this is pretty much peak old-school death doom metal. Half awesome thrash and half crawling doom, with a lot of filth and heavyness. The tortured and demented vocals are also a big standout, reminding me of Autopsy and Velho's first EP, two of my favorite extreme metal endeavors. I do find this release to be a bit samey, but nothing too much to the genre. All in all, great stuff!

The only thing keeping me from an extra half-star is the production, which is not really my cup of tea. I do like the drum sounds and the vocal mixing, but the strings are too scooped and high-end to my taste. They do remind me of swedeath chainsaw, which I'm a fan, but I really think it lacks bass.
