Words like Boundaries aren’t meant for bands like Blood Meridian. Unlike most,I shy away from labeling them with just the Technical-Death Metal tag – there issome very extreme Gore-based riffagepresent in the entire album and that in many ways pushes the intensity of this20 minute independent release a step ahead of the present-day ennui of extrememetal, Omni-present in the scene today- in terms of both instrumentation andSong-writing. Mind-bogglers like opener Underthe butcher’s blade and Shadows manageto cut through traditional death metal elements with a sharp sense oftechnicality. Coma is a personal favorite one which willwork well with fans of Decapitated and Spawn of Possession. Speaking ofDecapitated, the Spheres of Madness cover displays Vocalist Bhaskar’s ability tosharply Growl and Squeal with equal prowess and dexterity, while theinstrumentation does nothing amazing, in general- unlike all of the othernumbers in the cd, leaving the track to somewhat drown by the time it ends. Allin all- A sharp debut- one that doesn’t take too many listens to sink in.
