Reviews FERETRO - THE MORTUARY DESTINY OF FLESH - NIHILISTIC HOLOCAUST 
A band named casket predictably has a penchant for death and the flesh. The Chilean band's previous five demos and two EPs attest to this fascination. Formed in 2005, the band is currently a quartet on their first full-length. Old-school death metal is what Pedro Veloso, Mauricio Barrios, Rodrigo Salazar and Felipe Soto preach. The opening one-minute long intro called Twilight Of Life does provide hints of the old school feel, perhaps more thrash a la Testament however. Towards Perishment opens the album fully reminiscent of early Pestilence, Death or Asphyx. The band seem to confirm the late '80s influence sounding somewhat like what Massacra were playing back then as well. The slower parts are typical of the mid-paced tempo of some of the songs of the bands of the same era. The Ancient Horror includes such riffs. In Agony takes this a step further at times while not abandoning the thrashy feel. The almost instrumental Hour Of Death seems to show the band's preference to include the slower sections more often. An Obituary influence can be heard. Time To Die takes a deeper stab at the '80s and '90s sound. Death's Cycle is a long mix of the slower and the not so slow, conveniently condensing the album into an eight-minute song. Flesh For Worms doesn't deviate much from what has been heard before it. Epitaph closes the album with doomy riffs and briefly synthesizers and keyboards too, in an apparent bid to add atmosphere and a horror-like effect. The vocals style is somewhat deep with screaming shrieks thrown in often within a raw production. All in all The Mortuary Destiny Of Flesh is a trip back to the early days of the scene, all in one package. - Anna Tergel
