EP Review: Evil Priest – Black Seeds​.​.​.​of Creation (Caligari Records)

Released on March 15th 2018, Peruvian death metal lords Evil Priest are back with Black Seeds…of Creation, an EP containing two extensive tracks of death metal purity.

With one foot firmly planted in the past, Evil Priest take the early sound of death metal and give it a deeper and darker edge. Somehow heavier then you might expect, both tracks are lengthy assaults of hard-hitting metal.

The rough production of the EP lends much credence to the band’s ferocity and even when it sounds a little too messy, the dark tone is easy to identify.

Of the two tracks, it’s the title track that makes the best impression. The fire burning brightly and the 7 minute runtime flying by.

Two tracks wouldn’t normally be enough for a listener to fully understand what a band are like but Evil Priest reveal all with a consistent approach to the core of death metal. They play heavy, they play fast and they play very well.
