Infected Virulence - "Music of Melkor / Infected Virulence" CD

Imported from Raw Skull Recordz (Netherlands)

Here we have the underrated German death metal band Infected Virulence and their 1994 album "Music of Melkor" compiled with their self-titled "Infected Virulence" Demo (1992) as bonus tracks.

This compilation comes with a complete new layout made from the original artwork, lyrics from all songs, band pictures, and last but certainly not least, all music has been digitally remastered, to give this piece of German death metal history the best production it deserved.

TOLKIEN THEMED DEATH METAL FROM 1994? Yeah, this record KILLS!! High recommendation.

“Music of Melkor” is classic death metal record, filled with some excellent riffs, all played in mid paced or slow tempo, with almost no fast parts (they appear sporadically maybe in couple of songs only). But Infected Virulence kept their music all brutal and sick all the time through the album, only sometimes letting themselves include a small melodic piece like what happens in “Tol Eressea”. Some of these riffs have a strong Bolt Thrower infection (even the vocals sound like early Karl Willets haha), especially in such tracks as “Earendil” or “Doom of the Atani”. Some other time I feel like they sound a bit like the most death metal version of Napalm Death and you know, can we even complain on that?! Nope!
