Rotting Flesh - Dreaming The Underworld CD Review

I sort of had an idea of what to expect when I first heard this bands name. I was expecting something in the vein of Rotting Christ and Septic Flesh as the name seems to be a mixture of these two well known hellenic bands. Well its not to far off. Rotting Flesh plays a sort of atmospheric death metal. The riffs are good and quite catchy and the band differs from most generic death metal, by the use of keys. The keys arent used in any exessive fashion, but adds a great deal of atmosphere. The vocals are quite deathmetal oriented growls(wich are quite deep and nice), but sometimes for shorter periods we get a more blackish rasp also. Short narration is delivered by a female with an moderate accent on the second song, when we are welcomed to the underworld. All in all I think this album will appeal to fans of atmospheric hellenic metal, but also to fans of say Sepultura around the time of Beneath the remains. Some of the riff`s sounds wery familiar, so in terms of originality this isnt to great. But nevertheless a good album.

I wasn't really sure of this cd by Rotting Flesh, a Black/Death band from Greece. Are they a Rotting Christ clone band?
They have a more brutal approach to their style, you have Death grunts and Blackish screams. So far, RF
have impressed me a lot with their own brand of Black/Death metal.
A band worth checking out.
