SORCERY - Necessary Excess Of Violence CD

It bears some reinforcement and accolades that Sorcery continue to stick to their guns and make pure, raw death metal that could only come from Sweden. With this third record beyond the reformation of the band it becomes clear that they aren’t focused on approximating their original sound, creating a caricature of Swedish death metal, or changing to stay up to date with trends or certain tastes. Although I find the steadfast persistence of the band admirable enough, I wouldn’t say this fourth Sorcery record is anything more than a good time between some solid melodic ideas and its hot-buzzing death metal heaviness. My long term and repeat listening sessions yielded positive results but only a small handful of songs within really stand out enough to be memorable.
