Bloody Phoenix – Death To Everyone (Grindfather Productions)

Waiting for brand new grind releases, I've decided to look back and write a review on something not very old but quite a good one. So I decided upon "Death To Everyone" from an American band called Bloody Phoenix. By the way, this album was reissued not so long ago on the british Grindfather prod. The music and the cover art here are both equally good, combining into one dark piece. So, from the visual part we have very beautiful and solid artist's work. He have incarnated in his art one of the worst of humanity's curses - religion. It's cool that he paid attention to the theme of the church, rotten from the beginning to the end, and added a dead knight from the era of crusades. As you know well, christinaity spread nearly everywhere (only japanese have resisted it).
And from the musical side we have a solid, fast shell which can strike out and destroy any wall. "Death To Everyone" reminds me of the old nuclear bomb Little Boy which took a great amount of human lives. The destructive power of this album can be compared only to the destruction made by christianity during its mission. Listening to this album you realize how you are enveloped by this atmosphere. This dark atmosphere impregnates the whole album just like black resin...and not d-beat nor blastbeat, not even hellish wall of guitar sound can hide it, and growls and screams can't interrupt it. This album ended up being really viscous and suffocating, not so many can do such a thing.
