Malice

A little of Erik Rutan's HATE ETERNAL brutality must have rubbed off on the members of THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD during the band's time spent at Mana Studios recording "Malice", an album that leaves 2005's "Bloodlust" in the dust.

You may need to take a shower after time spent with SPIRITUAL DECAY's "Closer to the Grave". The sound is old school, dirty, and primitive. No light shines in the cavernous world in which the quartet resides. It is not the greatest death metal release I've ever heard, but does have its moments and m...
