Sarpanitum Despoilment of Origin Overview: Sarpanitum's debut offers a competitive brand of intricate and technical Death Metal, with a massive dose of intensity and atmosphere; and sometimes, I get the feeling of walking down the memory lane, when this four-piece tackle the violence of Immolation, or the razor-sharp attack of classic Bolt Thrower (even vocalist Andy Techakosit reminds me of Sanders in places). There are also catchy and melodic moments once in a while (and even an accoustic passage), which allows certain tracks to breathe more easily - and contrast can be quite crucial, even in such attacks of sonic hostility. Production: Cohesive and strong; quite staggering for a debut. Parting thoughts: Despoilment of Origin is a promising premiere, and if you're into the likes of the aforementioned acts - as well as Nile or Cannibal Corpse, for instance - then Sarpanitum's work is a good pick; however, there's still work ahead in terms of getting things more distinct, and not so one-sided (as it inevitably happens on occasion). www.myspace.com/sarpanitum www.galacticrecords.co.uk © 2007 The Lodge
