THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE

Following something like Symbolic wasn't going to be easy for Death. By that time, Death were already the kings of Death Metal due to their sheer influence and revolutionary additions to the genre. Death Metal became something that would actually last to this day as an obscure, but respected, genre.

In all honesty, The Sound Of Perseverance is kinda like Individual Thought Patterns in how they both follow up legendary albums and don't really add much to the genre compared to their predecessors, but regardless, they're both solid and very well made albums.

This album continues the melodic progressive death metal sound that Symbolic established, and it does an excellent job, at some points doing even better than Symbolic itself. The Death you'll hear in this record is miles more mature than the one in Scream Bloody Gore or Spiritual Healing. This record is highly recommend and it's for sure one of the best of the genre. Five Stars.
