DEFLESHED (Sweden) - Under The Blade (2019 Hammerheart Re-issue on Black vinyl). 
 One of the most intense Metal albums when it comes to the crossover 
between Thrash & Death Metal for the first time as a regular vinyl 
edition!  Even more than 22 years after its release, “Under the Blade” is still worth a listen. 
The album holds the best riffs of the band's entire career since the beginning of their formation. The skull-splitting riffing of “Metalbounded” hits the listener like a
 heavy hammer and the same goes for the merciless rasping of “Entering 
My Yesterdays”.
Under The Blade is DEFLESHED's 2nd full-length studio album (originally released back in 1997) terrorizes the audience with an orgy of high 
velocity and shredding guitars and the album’s level of aggression is 
amazing. Between the razor sharp guitar tone, which sounds like ear 
drum-splitting throwing knives, and a vitriolic frontman, DEFLESHED 
capture the essence of violence and hostility well. 
“Pleasure to Kill” comes to mind several times while listening to 
this album - in a way that suggests DEFLESHED are big fans of the German
 Thrash scene of old.  Hammerheart Records – HHR 2019-39
