Cryophilic 'Damned and Decayed' review in Metallerium ! check it out here at this link: https://www.metallerium.com/cryophilic-damned-and-decayed-2023

It is always of interest to me to look for albums that do not have so much spotlight, because that is where we can find interesting things and that is how I came across Cryophilic 's second full-length work titled “Damned And Decayed” it has a duration of 26 minutes that is They are distributed in 8 pieces, the cover art is not very to my liking and it is available through CDN Records . 

“Damned And Decayed” is a work that goes by very quickly, but apart from this it never gives you a break, everything is intensity and frenetic guitars with that technical touch. "Majesty" shows us a lot of skill in the guitar work and of course the vocal work is very agreeable. "Scum" has more touches of classic death metal in some moments but the rest is pure intensity in those drums, a song that goes straight to the head like  "Into the Storm" .

"Cursed" offers you no respite, as the mission here is to have your neck destroyed. "The Wretched" changes the tone of the vocals a little, without even leaving aside the guttural, the riffs are full of power as well as the drums. "Beware" I have to highlight that blast beat which leaves you stunned, there is a heavy sound but the technical aspect of the guitar does remain in the background.  To close , "Unleashed" is in charge, it is forceful where there is no respite, everything is chaos and destruction. 

In "Damned And Decayed" you find a lot of other bands that have contributed a lot to this genre which makes it an interesting work, its only flaw being its length, Cryophilic a band that we have to be following. Metallerium
