Reviews GORY BLISTER - SKYMORPHOSIS - MASCOT 
Gory Blister hails from Italy and has recorded an exciting death metal album. There must be a lyrical motif at play here given the album’s title and songs like Asteroid, Quasars and The Missing Planet, but its details are not clear. The band’s music though speaks for itself with its stellar qualities.
The album is fast, technical and heavy and is further advanced by a clean production. The singing of Adry is desperately tormented no matter which style or tone he chooses. The drumming is blasting, yet tight, the melodies thought-out and the leads right on the money. Setting aside the cover of Death, I Shall Hang Myself is the unusual track here with its slower and offbeat sound. The song has a great chorus nonetheless. The Soul-Slitters is also slightly strange, but comes with good backing vocals and jazz-like technicality. Black Canvas has one of the album’s better solos, while Starfields’ guitars venture into Testament territory. That brings us to another element of Skymorphosis, namely its thrash metal influences. Although largely death metal, there is enough on the disc to give it a veneer of thrashiness. Skymorphosis is one of the scarce techno death/thrash albums of recent years. - Anna Tergel
