Ataudes are a band from Argentina that plays a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2020 album "Merecemos la Extinction".
A cosmic horror orientated intro starts off the album before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and the solos and leads are done in more of a dissonant style.
A lot of the music brings out a lot of 90's era death metal elements while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with some growls also being utilized at times as well as some of the faster riffing mixing in tremolo picking and some of the tracks also add in a small amount of soundscapes.
Ataudes plays a musical style that mixes the old school black and death metal style in with the more modern dissonant style to create something very heavy. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover cosmic horror, death and nihilism themes.
In my opinion Ataudes are a very great sounding blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "En Descomposición" "Fin de la Existencia" and "Hacia el Abismo/La Muerte nos Espera". 8 out of 10.
