DEATH FEAST The Feast of Death CD

The 2018 album The Feast of Death by the Portuguese band Death Feast, released through Firecum Records, is a powerful collaboration featuring seasoned veterans of the national underground scene, most notably JA and Vitor J. Blasphemy of the legendary black metal band Decayed. This record serves as a visceral tribute to the raw Death/Thrash Metal sound of the late 1980s, prioritizing a dark, hellish atmosphere and rhythmic aggression over modern technicality. The eleven-track journey begins with the haunting intro The Beginning of the End and moves into high-energy anthems like Dealing with the Beast, My Inferno, and the genre-defining Death Thrash Sinners. The songwriting on the album balances direct, fast-paced tracks like Children from Hell and the title track The Feast of Death with more expansive, epic compositions such as the nearly seven-minute Blood on the Ice. As the record progresses through Call for the Wizard and Cold Winds of Hate, it maintains a relentless momentum that culminates in the war-themed War and Death before reaching its somber conclusion with Time to Depart... Terminus. By channeling the spirit of old-school extreme metal through the lens of musicians who helped build the Portuguese scene, this Firecum Records release stands as a gritty and authentic document of Death Thrash worship that remains faithful to the necro-aesthetic of its creators' roots.
