Ares Kingdom - The Unburiable Dead (CD)

Review

Ares Kingdom trades not in standard death metal gore-and-war fare, but rather in the kind of learned writing that brings you such simple but effective summations of life on the front line as "Hell no longer of fire and flame / hell is mud." Still, with multiple listens of The Unburiable Dead (and likely many more to come), what stands out most are these riffs - most bands can't manage one single one as killer as the main riff to "The Unburiable Dead," and Ares Kingdom brings many of the same ilk, throughout every track. - Last Rites 5/5
