Heads For The Dead - Serpents Curse

Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

In the midst river's of all album releases, that I already bathe in albums that are waiting for my attention. I pick up an album that has got plenty of spins that I need to recommend further to the masses. All started with a recommendation by a good friend "Chief Rebel Angel" at Heavymetale. He wrote a text that caught my attention and I gave it a chance... a few spins on the digital platform I got hooked and order the album online.

I'm talking about the Europeans in the Death Metal band HEADS FOR THE DEAD and their album "Serpents Curse".

From the fathomless dark realms of the occult comes HEADS FOR THE DEAD. The band was formed by Hauber (REVEL IN FLESH) and Pettersson (URSINNE, WOMBBATH, HENRY KANE) to deliver a deadly mixture of extreme dark Metal madness ranging from Death-, Doom- Crust and Black Metal, combined with an atmosphere of filth and horror.

"Serpents Curse" have some guest, members of SENTIENT HORROR (Matt Moliti) and WOMBBATH (Håkan Stuvemark) has helped to liven up the tunes with their guest solos on a few tracks, the session drummer of DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN (Erik Bevenrud) have smashed the leather on this album. The Artwork by Branca Studio (PARADISE LOST, BEASTMAKER) and the Logo by Mark Riddick (FETID ZOMBIE).

"Serpents Curse" opens up with the title tune, a horror full piece of doomish death "throw your head in the sidewalk metal" in the best manner, old school Swedish death metal is the main influences, well played with the little extra to keep me alive and kicking. The whole album keeps a very good class. Speeds vary from slow doomish, and occult like tunes "Deep Below" and "The Awakening" to high octane, ferocious tunes like "Post Mortem Suffering" and "Death Calls", both tune are just over a minute long. "Gate Creeper" and "Heads For The Dead" is pounding away triumphantly, great pieces of music and the horror heavy tune "Of Wrath And Vengeance" is a true killer. The album ends with a hair-raising cover of WOLFBRIGADES's "In Darkness You Feel No Regrets". An excellent album release that should not be passed.

Sum: Death and Horror ridden Metal of the highest quality, check it up!

Today's tune "Serpents Curse" is the title tune from HEADS FOR THE DEAD 2nd album, released on Transcending Obscurity Records, 24 September 2018, enjoy!
