Unholy Redeemer is a band with members from Australia,Finland and the Netherlands and this is a review of their newest EP.Journey Beyond Death is five tracks of well composed and delievered old school death metal from musicians who were there.The first song presented here is the title track Journey Beyond Death which starts out with crushing heavy drums and guitars.The music is well executed with fast paced guitars that are well played with intensity and speed.The vocals are inhuman death metal growls that are done with power.The drums are a mix of fast paced drums but do slow to heavier mid paced range for a nice mix of the two styles.Up next is Carrion Of The Gods which is another song that combines the mid paced powerful drums and guitars with some insanely fast paced passages for a nice mix.The drumming is top notch with some memorable drums that are pummeling and aggressive and some slower heavier drums are also used throughout the songs.The vocals are heavy and low death metal growls that fit the music perfectly.Up next is Blazing Grave Cathedrals is another crushing and fast paced song.The music seems a little more fast and extreme throughout this song.This songs shows the band ability to play slow mid paced death metal but also some faster paced death metal the vocals are powerful death metal growls.Up next is The Blades Of Inversion which is a instrumental showing off the bands ability to perform excellent musical passages.The final song Ever Drifting--They Wait which starts off with heavy guitars and low death metal growls that are powerful.The music picks up a little faster throughout the song but never really gets to extremly fast instead performing a heavy crushing mid paced song. Unholy Redeemer has crafted a really well played EP. the music is crafted with power and intensity that should please fans of pure,quality death metal. Unholy Redeemer
