Inner Decay returns with their second album after a four
year wait. Enter the Void is a great old
school death metal album. The band used
the time leading up to this record very wisely.
All of the eight tracks are well though out, constructed and
executed. The album has a very smooth
flow to it, before you know it, it’s over, and you simply want to go for one
more spin. Timewise it’s exactly at 40
minutes, which is just perfect. Enough
to grab your attention, deliver a solid punch, and end just at the right time.
The songs on this record are catchy, filled with groove, but
heavy at the same time. The majority of
the music and lyrics are written by band’s guitarist, Tomasz Bielski. Bielski is obviously raised on the late 80s
to mid-90s death metal. He’s got a great
understanding of that style, and that’s what he channels though Inner
Decay. There are echoes of Death, Bolt
Thrower, Paradise Lost, or Immolation, but there is definitely a sense of style developing here.
Much has to be said about a great performance delivered on
Enter the Void. The band was very well
prepared when putting these tracks down.
Every member of Inner Decay delivered the goods, there is no weak link
here. Also, the production is ideal for what
the group wanted to achieve.
Enter the Void is definitely an album that deserves to
introduce Inner Decay to a larger audience.
They have a solid record on their hands, and certainly did their part to
make this the best it can be. Could this
be the turning point for Inner Decay?
Well, this writer is already waiting for you in the void.
