MORTUARY ANCESTOR "Doctrine Of Hatred"

 
MORTUARY ANCESTOR "Doctrine Of Hatred" EP CDr (Earblast Records)
I do remember listening to their "The Reincarnation" a couple of years back, songs that shows potentials but badly affected by the unsatisfactory productions. But here they are again with "Doctrine Of Hatred", this time I do honestly expect more of course. With years and experiences behind them, it should be something worth mentioning. And "Doctrine Of Hatred" might be just that. MORTUARY ANCESTOR of 2012 is a band that still is death Metal, but grows with their mastering of the instruments. The 5 songs here are shamelessly technical in nature, they obviously are challenging themselves with far more adventurous structures and layers in shaping the death Metal they are striving for. As the capabilities expanded, so is their compositions. "Doctrine Of Hatred" is a showcase of those culminating years within the band, very proudly and will always be death Metal, yet markedly and consciously evolves in tandem with the band's aging process. It might be hard to remember certain parts of them (the songs) in your head, but compensate that by following the stellar intricacies of the structures, tip-toeing if you must, and every now and then you will discover something within. The productions are deservingly good this time too. A solid Borneo death Metal offering, but you shouldn't acquire less considering the band's existence all this time. Time for another full length is nigh.

MORTUARY ANCESTOR "The Reincarnation"

MORTUARY ANCESTOR “The Reincarnation” (Evildead Production)
MORTUARY ANCESTOR is a well-versed name in the Sabah/Borneo scene, I might say so. It’s been a while that I’ve heard of anything from them. Along came this CD in the mail then. Here lies several tracks recorded on different occasions. What I’m hearing in this is some straight-up, honest death Metal in the tried and tested ancient formula, heavily leaning towards those prescribed by MORBID ANGEL (there’s even a cover of their song here), unmistakably so. I regret the muddy and crude recording quality though, it certainly affects my appreciativeness in a way or so. There should be more that I could have lashed out from this release, if only the productions could be a tad better. And if my memory serves me right, I’ve heard of a more inspired MORTUARY ANCESTOR before “The Reincarnation”, another fact that could be challenged given a better, proper production they definitely deserve. Only for the die-hards, “The Reincarnation” is.
