BENEDICTION - The Grand Leveller · RED/YELLOW SPLATTER LP

Red vinyl with yellow splatter.

Background information über 'The Grand Leveller'

“The Grand Leveller” showcases the epitome of what old school death metal is all about: one dimensional, gruff vocals with thick and catchy riffs played over a hefty dose of pounding drums! The album is steeped in a dissonant and hazy sound, one that gives off an almost underground feeling to the music. However, this is a by-product of the excellent production, which creates such a gritty atmosphere all the while, giving each musician their fair share of the limelight.

If you are looking for a prime example of what old school death metal can accomplish with a simplistic concept, strong song writing and competent musician, then look no further than “The Grand Leveller”. Benediction shows just how far the basic elements can take an album and that not all death metal needs to be overly complex or a mind altering experience to be enjoyed.

A fine showing of old school death metal done right - any fan of the sound will not be disappointed!

For fans of: Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, Master, Massacre, or "Harmony Corruption"-era Napalm Death
