The three piece Zom hails from Ireland and their brand of blackened death metal is a fresh injection in the somewhat stale genre. "Flesh Assimilation" is the trio´s first full-length and it really makes you want more. The sound and feeling is formidable and the album really sets an haunting atmospere. Musically Zom delivers some fresh ideas in the genre that has way too many Incantation (all hail!) clones.
Heavy use of the crash in combination with some relentless riffing makes the wall of sound ugly and dark. There´s no compromise in the either the vocal or bass departments either, the production is deep as f**k.
Zom´s "Flesh Assimilation" is 8 songs of pure extreme metal and I´am really looking forward to hear more from these Irishmen.
Zom is not metal for the masses, Zom is metal for men!
