imperishable cuts the fat and goes straight for the throat! Melodic Swedish Death Metal with aggressive hooks!

Anch’essi svedesi, di Stoccolma, i giovani musicisti incarnano a tutti gli effetti un tributo alla gloriosa scena death metal locale. Il loro primo full-length può essere in effetti visto come una sorta di bigino di tutto ciò che è swedish death metal, con richiami ai grandi classici che in qualche occasione si configurano a tutti gli effetti come dei veri e propri omaggi.
Fin dalla prima traccia, “Denial of Clarity”, è infatti evidente quanto gli Impurity abbiano interiorizzato i pilastri dello storico sound della loro città: il riff centrale, che richiama esplicitamente “Dreaming in Red” dei Dismember, stabilisce subito un legame diretto con il glorioso passato. I riferimenti a “Indecent & Obscene” sono peraltro disseminati tra le trame dell’album, con quell’attento mix tra groove, melodia e forza scardinatrice che rimanda tantissimo al secondo album dei maestri.
Anche i Carnage trovano spazio in questa celebrazione: “Ancient Remains”, con la sua durata contenuta e l’urgenza feroce, sembra rifarsi in tutto a un disco come “Dark Recollections”. L’omaggio non si limita però alla violenza sonora: sulle arie di “Lament to the Lost One”, una algida traccia acustica posta come intermezzo, la mente torna infatti a “Where No Life Dwells” degli Unleashed, facendoci comprendere come gli Impurity abbiano provato ad esplorare anche atmosfere più malinconiche e riflessive in questo loro debut album.
Tra tutti questi rimandi, non possono ovviamente mancare i padri Nihilist/Entombed, evocati soprattutto dal timbro vocale del cantante/chitarrista Ville Esbjörn, che qui sembra un misto tra il primo LG Petrov e Nicke Andersson.

THE GREAT SEA was founded in 2022 by JR (Long Distance Calling) and SH (Ordeal & Plight) with the ambition to create an atmosphere that can keep up with the majesty of the mountains and the horrible depths of the seas, with a glimpse into the never ending darkness that is behind and before us.
“We always wanted to create a feeling, where you can experience nature and find yourself within it.”, states guitarist SH. “There is a strange and unbelievable beautiful sensation when you combine these tunes, with the reality of natures infinite powers.”

To give the sound what it deserves, they invited Phil Jonas (Crone, ex-Secrets Of The Moon) and Azathoth (Gràb, ex-Dark Fortress) to leave their mark on this record, creating a connection between this world and spheres that can never be spoken of. Both songs are integrated to the rest of the record with maximum black glue, giving the listener the experience of deep current.
