Tons of dark-hued riffs are crafted with unheard-of abysmal depth; an unusually essential and ruinous rhythm section adds thickness to the quality of the murky sound. From the sonic carpet emerges a hypnotizing, chilling voice that tells of witches, nightmares, death, and other various horrors: completely similar to the Ozzy of Black Sabbath’s early masterpieces.

I can’t save anything from the operation, not even the cover, and I struggled immensely to reach the end of the album. When I hear the name Slayer, speed must be the undisputed protagonist... All this does not happen in Slower.

This review strongly criticizes Slower's album covering Slayer songs in a sludge metal style. Despite the involvement of notable musicians like Scott Reeder, the album fails to capture the energy and pace expected from Slayer's thrash metal originals. The slow tempos and female vocals are deemed unsuitable, making the listening experience tedious and disappointing. The closing track, a 10-minute version of 'War Ensemble,' exemplifies the album's core issues. Explore Slower's controversial Slayer covers and decide if sludge metal can truly honor thrash legends.
Production too precise, 'clean' despite the sound. Utterly banal mid-tempos heard dozens of times... I really struggled to make it to the end of the work.

The review covers Obituary's 11th album 'Dying of Everything' released in 2023. While the production is clean and precise, it lacks the raw, 'cavernous' sound that longtime fans cherish. Only the opening track stands out with its intensity, but the rest of the album feels predictable and uninspired. Despite personal disappointment, the reviewer gives a barely passing grade due to emotional attachment. Discover Obituary's latest release and decide if 'Dying of Everything' lives up to Death Metal expectations!

Mike is back, with his multifaceted voice, with the proverbial changes of vocal register within the same track. Dave Lombardo is always an infernal machine, with that double bass drum that reigns unchallenged for a good part of the duration.
