Nominon – Monumentomb
Genre: Death Metal
Label: Deathgasm Records
Out of the gate Nominon’s Monumentomb is a killer monument to death metal. Old schoolers who miss the classic 80s and 90s death metal scene from Sweden are going to love this album, filled with brutal drumming, intense bass, and Metalgasmic solos. New school fans of death who want a nice ticket to learn the ways of the older death metal, this is a perfect intro to it.
These guys have been around since ‘93, and since then they’ve put out, including Monumentomb, nineteen releases, so they aren’t no Johnny-come-lately band on the scene either. They know their shit, and it definitely shows in songs like “Mantra Reverse”, “Undead Beast”, and “Omen”.
It’s a mid-paced death with a creepy vibe going on, and it’s definitely my kind of metal. It’s not something that’s made by guys who are willing to compromise their ideas for someone else. This is highly recommended.
8.5 out of 10.
