Search - Through the Eyes of the Dead :: Bloodlust

Excellent But Too Little Songs...

"Through The Eyes of the Dead is a solid death metal band with hardcore and melodic metal touches as well that hails from South Carolina. With some of the most unique vocals and riffs, along with the double bass, you can't go wrong with this band. However, note that this CD has quite a bit of filler here. There are FOUR interlude tracks in here, and they have no significance unless they are fused with a song.



There are only five new songs on this CD. They are:



1. Two Inches From A Main Artery

2. When Everything Becomes Nothing

3. Bringer Of Truth

4. With Eyes Ever Turned Inward

5. Force Fed Trauma



The other two songs, "Truest Shade of Crimson" and "Beneath Dying Skies", are just remakes of songs off their previous recordings. If those songs weren't re-recorded, this CD would probably be considered an EP.



This is a very solid CD with talented and unique musicians. However, it loses a star because it lacks newer content, as usually expected with a full-length album, and having that many interludes is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.



For fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Arsis, Beneath The Massacre, Unearth."

Heavy as a really heavy thing

"Another band that has been passed off as metalcore but isnt, Through the eyes of the dead harken back to the early 90's, and the glory days of death metal. Pissed off screams and barking vocals, heavy riffs and breakdowns, tales of death and dismemberment, their all here. If your into the old death metal bands like cannibal corple, Obituary, six feet under, and others of the ilk, you'll enjoy this band. If not, look elsewhere."
