Left To Vanish - Versus The Throne

Review by Laura Catena

Left To Vanish's latest album, Versus The Throne, is a stunning display of technical death metal prowess. The band's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar riffs, pummeling drum beats, and thunderous bass lines that all come together to create a wall of sound that is both intense and captivating.

The album's opening track, "Shape Shifter," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its blistering guitar work and guttural vocals. From there, the band doesn't let up, delivering one punishing track after another. "Hour of the Time" features some of the album's most complex guitar work, while "The Black Lodge" is a masterclass in groove-laden death metal.

While the album is undeniably heavy, Left To Vanish also shows a willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles. "The Wretched Sun" features a haunting guitar melody that is both beautiful and eerie, while "The Final Stand" incorporates elements of thrash and punk into the band's sound.

Summary by Laura Catena

Versus The Throne is an impressive album that showcases Left To Vanish's technical prowess and willingness to push the boundaries of death metal. Fans of the genre will find plenty to love here, while newcomers will be blown away by the band's musicianship and intensity.
