BESTIAL DEFORM was founded back in 1990 and this is the band’s fifth full-length album. So I guess this is definitely not the most productive band on this planet, but who cares as long as the music is that good. And in this case the music is truly excellent. I have to admit that I’m not that familiar with their older stuff. I only have the album “Stop The Christianity!” from 2005 and that was a solid piece of unholy, anti-christian brutality. So I knew that this band was not too bad when Frank asked me to write a review, but I did not expect such a neck breaking monument. “…Ad Leones” totally blew me away, this is a huge step forward and a remarkable ass kicking masterpiece! This is awesome old school brutal Death Metal of the highest caliber. If you are into bands such as MORBID ANGEL, VADER or Germany’s finest PURGATORY you should get your fingers on “…Ad Leones” as fast as you can. I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it. These Saint Petersburg based ghouls delivered a first class Death Metal album with a powerful sound, harsh demonic vocals and nine (plus intro) great and varied songs.
