Grand Demise Of Civilization are a band from Minnesota that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and aggressive from of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "The Blaze of Abaddon" which will be released in June by Ordovician Records.
A very dark and apocalyptic sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim y et high pitched sounding black metal screams. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style.
Death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of synths. Clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard on a few songs and the music also has its atmospheric moments. the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, destruction of humanity and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Grand Demise Of Civilization and if you are a fan of aggressive and melodic blackened death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cathedral Reaper" and "Nephilim". 8 out of 10.
