Death Denied – Through Waters, Through Flames
Sarcophagus Records – 2022
Metal, Southern, Stoner, Doom, Hardrock
Rated: ****

The first two tracks of Death Denied’s new album Through Waters, Through Flames definitely show some southern metal touches; but once third track Lesser Daemons hits you like the hot and heavy wave it is; you know the four from Death Denied have a knack for ear pleasing southern metal. A masterful groove and gilded guitar riffs straight out of some old Americana rock song and a sudden rise in temperature; to make sure all those Lesser Daemons feel welcome on earth and will dance some kind of dirty honky tonk dance with your wives and all your daughters. Through Waters, Through Flames is the third full-sized album by the four from Łódź, Poland and that is definitely audible. Highly accomplished guitar work, masterful drumming and righteous southern metal compositions. It’s all there and more; and in fact there is so much more that when yer finished with eight and half minutes closing battleship track, (There’s that damn saxophone!) Nocturnal you will immediately return to opening, chugging, doomy The Apostate Soul to re-start your ever deepening love for Death Denied. Cause yes, there’s no denying, you can call Death Denied for all your southern metal and groove needs… They’ve got plenty to go around! (O' and love that artwork by Maciej Kamuda!)
