GOREBRINGER, from the United Kingdom, delivers their third full-length album, “Condemned To Suffer”, released via Great Dane Records. The band continues to push the boundaries of melodic Death Metal, combining aggression with atmospheric melodies across eight tracks. The album opens with ‘Under The Full Moon’s Pale Light’, a ferocious track that immediately sets the tone with its relentless drumming, blistering guitar riffs and soaring melodic leads. The first two seconds of the song reminded me of the intro of ‘Painkiller’ by JUDAS PRIEST. From the outset, it’s clear that GOREBRINGER is out for blood, mixing technical prowess with hooks that stick in your mind long after the song ends. This is a characteristic that remains consistent throughout the album, as the band skillfully balances speed, heaviness and melody. Of course this is possible due to the excellent musicians behind the band. One of the standout moments comes with ‘Condemned To Suffer’, the second track, where GOREBRINGER takes their signature sound and refines it into something that is both haunting and powerful. The title track, ‘Infernal Symphony’, is an absolute beast of a song, clocking in at over five minutes and offering a perfect representation of what the album is about. It starts with a thundering drum intro that soon leads into a series of intricate, yet aggressive riffs, accompanied by a symphonic layer that gives the track an epic feel. The song builds in intensity, reaching a climactic point where all the elements of GOREBRINGER’s sound (melody, aggression and technicality) are fused together in a way that is both thrilling and devastating. In general, tracks like ‘Théâtre Of The Grotesque’, ‘Embodiment Of Aggression’, or the final one, ‘Embodiment Of Aggression’, complete the picture as they complement the intention and personality of the album still with that balance aggression-melody. The artwork for “Condemned To Suffer” also complements the music perfectly, featuring a grim and evocative design that captures the essence of the album. The cold, desolate imagery works well with the album’s dark themes, adding to the overall impact of the release. In summary, “Condemned To Suffer” is a testament to GOREBRINGER’s growth as a band. They’ve taken the best aspects of melodic Death Metal and created something that is both aggressive and emotionally resonant. This is an album that demands attention from fans of the genre, offering a perfect blend of melodic hooks, technical mastery and visceral brutality. If you’re looking for a melodic Death Metal album that doesn’t shy away from blending beauty with chaos,”Condemned To Suffer” is an essential listen.
