Review

Dead Undead is actually a track you can now listen to, as it has been already released as a single just a little over a month ago! Dead Undead is a quick tempo, sleazy, raw and electrifying track. I actually dig the traditional heavy metal backbone that the song has, as well as easily incorporating the “Blackened” tones to give it that dark twist all while maintaining that awesome balance of the melodics that you hear in traditional heavy metal. Already a great album starter!

Strange Companion follows right up, it begins just as raw and “on your face” sort of way, it maintains that edginess and roughness just as the previous track. It has a mid-tempo, but also dances around upbeat moments while keeping that darkness infused. It’s awesome, it’s evil sounding, and again, I love the melodies that are created along with the darker tones. I personally do enjoy that blend that is being mixed up in the tracks so far!

Fiend in You has also just been released recently as a single just yesterday (At the time this is being written), its already fun, as if it were the evil twin of rock and roll itself. I can also hear the Motorhead tones in this track, its upbeat, fast, and straight up sleazy with a dangerous twist. Dan Chainsaw’s aggressive (no pun intended) vocals are a huge element in the track and even the whole album as it contributes to that raw energy in the song and the album so far! Kick ass track all around.

Like a Beast starts off with a build up, slowly but quickly snatching you up with the claw of aggression and power. The song certainly dives into horror elements, with the lyrical themes and even the musical aspect of the song makes you feel as you are being chased by this Beast. It is very frantic, as if you have to look around your surroundings for any danger ahead…or behind you. This track is really cool, and personally I just loved the horror theme in this song specifically so far!

Obscene Cult begins with a musical ode to Composer Choplin’s “Funeral March” which I thought was an awesome and fun snippet to add into the song, as the song also is heavily into deathly themes.

Denied by The Reaper starts off with a bang, instantly firing off along with the aggressive vocals by Dan Chainsaw; that continue to be a huge contributing factor to the rawness and dangerous atmosphere in the track just as the album as a whole too. This song has a bit of a more upbeat feel similarly to most of the previous tracks covered, it has that quick and frantic urgent feeling and vibe through the whole song. The swift soloing, and the attack of the drumming in this track makes it all for another real cool track in the album!

Harlot’s Spell also starts off with a punching bassline, and within a couple of seconds in, the song changes tempo to another melodic and even lively mood. This track sounds a little more melodic compared to most of the tracks so far, it seems to play more with the sound elements of traditional metal. I would say that personally this one is one of my favorites so far in the album as well. The sound and melodies of the guitars were my favorite feature, and the melodic side mixed with more speedy moments were also part of the aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Return of The Axe begins with sirens, an indicator of the return of the axe…or actually the maniac running amok with the axe! The lyrical themes also dive into horror themes, and also of course mixes in the satanic vibes into the overall theme. It is a dark tune, but honestly I also found that this one was one of my favorites too! The guitar riffs and licks brought by Dan Chainsaw himself, is one of my favorite riffs probably out of the whole album. The instrumentation, tempos, lyrics, guitar, bass and drumming all create this gritty, evil, ghastly and macabre track. Absolutely a phenomenal song.

Gallows Eve wraps up the album with a short number, a closing instrumental piece from the trio that perfectly and melodically captures that feeling you get from the “calm after the storm”. It has a different sound, still holding up with that grittiness and murkiness. The riffs, bass, and percussion create this gloomy and mysterious atmosphere, almost as if leaving the listener to wonder what else is being conjured up next?

Conclusion

“Come Creeping Fiends” is definitely a wild ride. The trio have already previously released great music with their demo and the album “Havoc At The Midnight Hour”, and with their new release, I can say that they are absolutely continuing with that electrifying momentum that they are building up. “Come Creeping Fiends” has a unique blend and mix of traditional metal, speed, thrash and I would even say blackened aspects too. Personally I enjoyed a handful of the tracks, but after listening to the whole entire album, I would say that “Return of The Axe” is for sure my absolute favorite track. The entire album itself has insane energy all around, a powerhouse of evil chaos. The band has done a phenomenal job with this album, the darkness and aggression (ha!) the guys bring through their musical talents shall not go unnoticed!

TheNwothm Score: 9/10
