Nar Mattaru: Enuma Elish, In The Black Spheres Of Time

Sometime in the 16th century, Santiago, Chile was almost obliterated. Fast forward to the 21st century and Nar Mattaru want to do the same and their weapon of the day is old school death metal brutality. But if any aspect of this album threatens any serious damage, it's the bass-heavy mix. Swamped in low end, the riffs, grunts, and battering of the skins emerge from a murky background and the weight of the tracks sinks beneath its grubby surface. The tracks are good, most of the time, and there's plenty of grit and grime to chew on, but by and large, this is another death metal album that you've heard many times before. This will no doubt appear again in 10 or so years as yet another "hidden gem" from "the vaults" that labels are currently flooding the underground with. It may well bear its fair share of damage-inducing chaos, but in the meantime, Santiago still stands…
