DEAD REMAINS offer brutal, uncomplicated, simple and tough-minded Death Metal on Conscious Cremation.

I cannot find any experiments; the songs blow me directly to the wall, with a slight touch of Grindcore. In between, some throttled measures take part, but this slower stylistic device only holds little space on this release.
In case of the intense piece Awoken In Flames, I appreciate these ingredients.
This album comes across in powerful and intense style, but does not hold outstanding moments. I know that the band wants to play old school style, but this way of operating is too unspectacular to leave a trace in my mind. The guys have chosen the cover version of Six Feet Under’s classic Revenge Of The Zombie as conclusion – and I think that’s exactly what the target group wants to hear.

In the end, Conscious Cremation stays faceless and I miss a self-contained touch; just impact without outstanding ideas is not enough for a strong release…
