Brazil has a long history of making great extreme metal going all the way back to Sepultura. This legacy continues with Worship No One, who released their first EP around the beginning of July this year.
The music has a powerful old school vibe. The production is thick and gritty, almost like crust in a way. This is especially true for the bass. They help to add an extra layer of depth to the music. The rest of the music is great as well. The drums are able to switch between slow doom beats, rolling double bass, and furious crust-like blast beats with ease. The growls are low and hoarse and sort of remind me of Steve Tucker. They perfectly match the old school feel of the EP.
The guitars are excellent. They're rooted in death metal, with some of the riffs sounding quite similar to what was crafted by the genre's forebearers in Florida. but they also throw in some groove and some rapid black metal tremolo assaults. They also throw in some death/thrash solos and even some acoustic guitars such as those on “What's Dead Can Not Die” that help keep things interesting.
My only complaint is that the intro is too long. I would have preferred it if they just cut the bullshit and went straight to the music. Other than that, this was a great EP. It's an excellent homage to the past, and I recommend it to any fan of the old school.
