Review: Incoming Death is the follow-up to Deathhammer, which was a fucking heavy album. Again, Asphyx delivers a piece of music in the category heavy-weight, hinting at the Grave debut, Bolt Thrower’s War Master, and a healthy dose of Hellhammer / Celtic Frost. The album starts off with Candiru, the kind of Asphyx that appeals to me most: uptempo! I know Asphyx likes its metal doomy, but I just enjoy the few faster tracks way more. Every song feels solid in sound and the vocals of Martin van Drunen still bring back the good old times of the first Pestilence albums - although I know they are an acquired taste. However, like on Division Brandenburg, the album’s second song and Wardroid, the third song, I feel I’ve just listened to unfinished pieces... Luckily they are the only tracks, and the rest of the album keeps its momentum. This album will have the bass speakers purr away nicely. Asphyx might not bring totally new views on death metal, but I think that’s the plus of this band. The moment that happens, it will probably not sound like Asphyx anymore.
