Oh, how I’ve been looking forward to this one. Ever since I first heard a couple of samples from a demo session a year ago I knew Undergang would become a force to be reckoned with. I saw them live and was even more convinced of their competence and skill to deliver powerful brutality of an extreme magnitude. It feels like it’s taken forever, but it’s finally here. It’s easy to build a hype, it’s easy to get too high expectations in anticipation of what you think will be mesmerizing. But trust me when I say "Indhentet af døden" is just as good as I could ever have hoped for.
The sound is incredibly dense. Production-wise it’s not much to really decipher since the sound is so incredibly heavy and dense, but it contains such a rugged crudeness as it lacks any kind of crystal clear digital cleanliness of modern day metal. The serious churning and pummeling of the bass is almost overwhelming, and it’s been a long time since I last heard a record with such emphasis on that particular instrument. I love the way they let the bass play an important role in their music, and the heaviness of it is increased to a marvelous magnitude. But before any of this kicks in we’re offered a schizoid and eerie piano intro that fits so well into the aesthetics of the album. And then the rumbling commences.
