This Singapore based band has quite a discography, but let's talk about 'Versus All Gods'. What a great album! It's furious and fast, but tempos shift and their mixture of black/death/thrash is pretty unique! I enjoyed this whole album. It was quite diverse and full of energy. The hatred comes out in the music plus hence their lyrical concepts. It's an unrelenting display of blasphemy as far as their topics and ferocious metal! There wasn't a song on there that I disliked. I thought the whole album deserves praise. It could've been longer in length but that's alright. They tear it up on all avenues!
The riff-writing or be it songwriting was done rather well and executed. I enjoyed the music and the vocals went well along with the guitars. It's a reminder of how bands like Angelcorpse and Marduk hold this sort of intensity. Impiety is in one different genre though the thrash metal aspect in addition to the death/black mixtures. The lead guitars slayed too. It's great that bands like this are still active and making good albums. I don't think this really has many flaws. The whole 38+ minutes shows the listener how to literally kick as with the guitar and vocals. The drums were furious as well!
I thought that the production quality did the album justice. They picked a good producer to mix this onslaught of abomination. There's nothing that I would really change on here sound-wise. It was absolutely triumphant! These musicians do a great job and they came on here to demonstrate that. I really think that they have a lot more time to be in existence. What a band! I liked this so much that I bought the physical copy. It was my way of supporting the scene and band themselves. I think that Impiety is a big influence on the metal scene though they need more people to review their music!
From start to finish, these guys tore it up. This CD laid dormant on my CD wall until recently. I suppose that upon first few listens to I wasn't convinced. Then a rebirth in faith that the album was all it cracked up to be and I am writing about it! If you're a supporter of the music industry, do the band justice and buy the physical CD. You can of course listen to it online to see if it's your cup of tea so to speak. If not, then you don't have to support them, but I will continue to. This album is just a gem of compilation of songs. I enjoyed this very much so and if you're into extreme music, support them!
