Bloodlust

It would not be inaccurate to call "Bloodlust" a death metal album, provided one takes the description in context. THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD's debut full-length for Prosthetic is not guaranteed to satisfy those seeking to quench a thirst for CANNIBAL CORPSE or DISMEMBER. It is not that kind of de...
