    Artist: Spirit Disease

    Label: Inverse Records

    Finland’s extreme metallers Spirit Disease recorded the follow-up to the highly acclaimed debut album ”Annihilation” in late 2010. The band, formed in the Helsinki area back in 2002, has also put out a few EP’s and seen half a dozen drummers come and go along the way. Now they have released all the anger and frustration into this second full length offering that shows the group crushing forward like a bull on steroids or a headless rhino, thrashing like a maniac! ”Retaliation” is even heavier than its predecessor, even though these old hogs can’t stray too far from their chosen path. The main focus is still on grinding death metal, although the members have done their homework among the ranks of Scum, Witheria, Evemaster and Grain, among others.

    Four song writers in the band and five years between the two albums add to the fact that ”Retaliation” is definitely not just a handful of random tracks put together in a hurry. It offers plenty of catchy riffs and choruses, twists and turns, ravishing solos, D-beat and a full range of violent death metal vocals. The album contains experiments with different styles of brutality without ever resorting to clean vocals or slick, radio-friendly production. ”Retaliation” without a doubt reeks of an old carcass.
