CoC : Cephalectomy - Gateway To The Gods : Review

Cephalectomy - _Gateway To The Gods_
by: Adrian Bromley (3 out of 5)

I'm pleasantly surprised by this material from the young Nova Scotia death metal/grind trio Cephalectomy. While the production on this demo (their first one -- let's give them a break, eh?) is not really that good, the three songs on the demo really do sound solid. This well-written material flows with intensity and anger. Cephalectomy keep things pretty straightforward and brutal, lashing out with a multitude of styles and influences to be found (Brutal Truth, Internal Bleeding, and Kataklysm, to name a few). The vocals are vicious throughout, and guitarist Corey Andrews shreds some heavy riffs. It's too bad the demo only has three songs, as they really do show a lot of talent and are keeping me interested in what is to come. I'm glad Cephalectomy submitted a demo to us here at CoC, 'cause it keeps me believing that metal does exist and is thriving in Canada.
