APOSENTO - No Safe Haven CD

Now four albums deep into their post-2010’s resurrection beyond a late 90’s demise Logroño, Spain-based death metal quintet APOSENTO were on a decent enough run for their first three albums but with ‘No Safe Haven‘ it feels like they’ve finally dialed back into a sound and style which suits their original impetus. That is to say that this record might be polished to accentuate their most brutal points but conveys a specific 90’s level of death metal savagery unhindered by groove metal antics or sleepy hardcore hops. Though they’ve chosen a very specific baseline in development of vocal cadence, a point of inspiration which is all too clear, this helps to best focus the efforts of this band into the right kind of tunnel vision where all is in service to the riff yet their new-found rhythm section drives every point home with an inspired, heavy-handed touch.
