Asphyx - Skull Crushing In Zurich 2013

Review by Sally Stegeman Faust

Asphyx's album Skull Crushing In Zurich 2013 is a brutal display of death metal mastery. With their unrelenting riffs, thunderous drumming, and guttural vocals, Asphyx delivers a crushing performance that will leave fans of the genre thoroughly satisfied.

The album's opening track, "Intro" sets the tone with its ominous, atmospheric soundscape before launching into "Deathhammer," a blistering track that showcases the band's penchant for weaving intricate melodies into their brutal sound. From there, the album never lets up, with standout tracks like "Minefield," "Into The Timewastes," and "The Krusher" delivering punishing riffs and bone-rattling percussion.

Throughout the album, Asphyx's musicianship is on full display, with each member delivering a virtuosic performance that highlights their individual talents. The production is also top-notch, capturing the raw energy of the band's live performance and translating it into a studio recording that still manages to sound organic and unpolished.
