### Phidion: Flesh of the forsaken

#### 19/11/12 || gk

Debut EP from this Swedish death metal band and its pretty promising stuff. The band has an old school vibe in terms of sound and enough quality riffs to make a solid impression but where they really stand out is in the fact that every song here has a solid groove behind it. They also know when to drop the tempo and bring some dynamics to play. For a Swedish band, the influences seem predominantly American in nature and some modern thrash riffing pops up on occasion and works quite well. This is quite an impressive debut release and Phidion is a band well worth checking out.

7,5/10: Looking forward to more.
