There isn't some specific trait that sets Death Infernal apart from the thousands of Swedish death metal releases aside from the fact that it's just...better. This shouldn't be anything new for fans of Dismember, Centinex or Vomitory--if you've heard that trademark chainsaw guitar tone before, you know what you're in for, but this just uses all of those Swedeath genre tropes in the best way possible. If there is one album I would show somebody who asked me what proper Swedish death metal sounded like, it would be Death Infernal, not any of the early classics. Albums like Left Hand Path, Like an Everflowing Stream, Into the Grave, even Blood Rapture that are considered staples of the genre have their own idiosyncrasies that ended up defining an entire sub-section of music. Every element of Demonical's sound is recylced in one way or another, but somehow, the end result is an album that not only holds its own with the classics of Swedish death metal, but ends up surpassing them and retroactively defining what its own genre should sound like.
