### Chapel Of Disease: Summoning black gods

#### 21/12/12 || Habakuk

Alright, so here we have a band that want to show they’re dedicated to the old school by shamelessly borrowing their name from super-early Morbid Angel. Sounds stupid, but it works to peak my interest, so I guess I am the target group here.

Fair enough, as the four-piece from Cologne, Germany manage to reminisce of the days of yore just fine. One band they don’t sound like though, is Morbid Angel. These guys have more of an Asphyx / Morgoth vibe going, together with gargling vocals, sawing guitars, sloppy drumming and a nice mix of faster and slow death/doom parts. And of course they have their Cthulhu references down just fine. So while creativity is obviously not their thing, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what they have to offer here. The formula just works.

Starting from a great church bell intro (“Yog-Sothoth knows the gate…Yog-Sothoth is the gate…”), the first song builds up slowly to erupt into shredding up-tempo flavored with a bit of double bass, and all things you know and love about old school death metal come together. And they won’t part ways until the album is through after 45 minutes. Already in song number one we can hear where the band still need some work: the lead guitars. Solos and lead sections just seem a little uncreative and naive, so it would have been better to leave them out completely or put some serious brain work into them. As those are but a minor element to the overall fitting package though, they’re nothing that should distract the genre aficionado from risking an ear.

Consistent and filthy death metal devoid of blast beats and all that young fella gibberish awaits. Don’t worry, it’s okay to be conservative. At least in death metal.
