TRIBAL GAZE “Inveighing Brilliance”
TRIBAL GAZE “Inveighing Brilliance”
By Theron Moore
Newly signed Nuclear Blast Records artist TRIBAL GAZE dropped a grenade – check that – set off a car bomb with the release of their new record “Inveighing Brilliance” back in October. Every song on this record is a mini wrecking ball of face melting metal.
TRIBAL GAZE is billed as a death metal but much of the music on “Inveighing Brilliance” is equal parts thrash – intense, circle pit thrash, death metal, and fleeting moments of sludgy doom. Normally I’d hammer a band for doing this because it’s hard to pull off, and most bands fail at it, but for TRIBAL GAZE, it’s who they are, it’s their identity. They get two gold stars for figuring out how to do this right. There’s a few standout tunes we need to talk about.
“Guarding The Illusion,” is super heavy but chain whips you with a tasty, thrashy groove toward the end of the song that’ll snap your neck. “To The Spoils Of Faith” opens with a riff a mile wide and screams of anguish that sound like they came from someone who was prematurely buried alive. “Ruling In A Land With No God” and “Irreversible Sequence” are violence incarnate. Both songs live inside a blade storm of complete madness and unholy, unforgiving metal, the way it should be.
“Inveighing Brilliance” is a brutal metalcosm of ass whoopin’ riffage that needs to be heard to be believed. It’s a mountain of death metal married with six tons of thrash guaranteed to cauterize your face and cleave your ear holes off. If that doesn’t sum it up then you don’t know what you’re in for with this record. Buy it, stream it, mosh it.
