...Towards Doom... by DEATHWINDS

SRUIN252
After over a decade, the debut album by Vancouver's bestial black metal punks Deathwinds reopens the gates to an unholy dominion of chaos cleansed in nuclear vice. Casting the listener back to a dark age of primitivism and savagery, on their long-awaited debut album "...Towards Doom..." the Canadian war-punk horde invoke the legend of bands like Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Discharge, Doom, Black Witchery and Blasphemy to summon an apocalyptic twilight of destruction. The original core lineup of Bestial Desolator on drums (Encoffinate, Radioactive Vomit, Temple of Abandonment) and of Nocturnal Black on guitars and vocals (Ceremonial Bloodbath, Nightfucker, Radioactive Vomit) is joined on bass by Nuclear Hammer Throne (Ahna, Ceremonial Bloodbath, Encoffinate, Grave Infestation, Temple of Abandonment, The Nausea), replacing original bassist Filth Destroyer, to embody the band’s most sanguinary incarnation yet and christen its most pestilent abomination. Wielded like a war mace in a post-nuclear new neolithic age, these eleven songs bludgeon with merciless cruelty and barbarity as the hands of time are rolled back to re-embody black metal and punk’s most primeval instincts of destruction. Discharge's, Hellhammer’s and Celtic’s Frost’s iconic chainsawing guitars reincarnate into a new weapon of annihilation, instigated into absolute chaos and carnage by a thunderous onslaught of barbaric hammer beats, merciless blasting and disemboweled screams. A dense, death-bearing atmosphere of lead and toxic fumes overhangs the blasted plains and scorched dominion, underpinning the album's foul aura of belligerence and evoking visions of end-time turmoil and of a collapsing society being sent back to a feral age ruled only by lawlessness and cruelty.
