The sophomore album from Mobile Deathcamp continues where their first one, Black Swamp Rising, left off. Old dogs don’t learn new tricks, but why should you when your old tricks are already great. Musically the band is still heavily set on speed metal but the sound of the new album definitely sets it apart from the older. The production value of the album is much higher and finally the band can show off their considerable talent.
The music shares qualities with the likes of Napalm Death and old Death Angel albums. The songs are short and to the point. There are no fancy preludes or overdone intros. The music is relentless guitar and bass grind with few death like stops peppered into them. There are two songs that break the pace, Emerald, which is closer to a metal anthem and doesn’t quite fit in. The other one is Uhyusti which is more deliberate tangent into a indian chant.
With more than ten bands between them makes Mobile Deathcamp surely doesn’t lack experience in performing or recording. The new drummer, Dave Martin, adds to the mix and fits in like fist in your face with Todd Evans on guitar and Boe Skadeland on bass.
