Cardiac Arrest/Vortex Of Violence/Ibex Moon Records/2012 CD Review


  Cardiac  Arrest  are  a  band  from  Chicago,  Illinois  that  has  had  their  previous  album  reviewed  as  well  as  being  interviewed  by  this  zine  which  plays  a  very  brutal  form  of  death  metal  with  a  grindcore  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Vortex  of  Violence"  which  was  released  by  Ibex  Moon  Records.

  Drums  range from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  riffs  that  dominate  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  heavy  and  brutal  sounding  with  some  grindcore  influences  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  some  dark  sounding  melodies,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  chaotic  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  gore,  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.    

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Cardiac  Arrest  and  if  you  where  a  fan  of  their  previous  release,  you  should check  out this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "To  Their  Graves"  "Primitive  Lunacy"  "Ritual  Plague"  and  "Sacrifice".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
