"Downfall Race" Is the demo of the month!

"Downfall Race" Ep has been reviewed as a demo of the month in imperiumi.net receiving 4.5 out of 5. You can find the review here (in finnish only). Thanks imperiumi.net!

They wrote: "Allthought riffs are technical, listener can still find good melodies and intresting solos. (...) Tempo changes and surprising solutions on songwriting, make the record to last more listenings. (...) Sounds are heavy and clear, but the "kick ass" soundscapes support the bands killer riffs. (...) This band combines accurate playing with songwriting brilliance"

From this, its good to start the recordings of a new EP! We have planned to enter to the studio in November. At the moment, it looks like we are going to record four or five new songs. Couple of possible song names are "Hatred Regime" and "Ghosts". More of this later...

Reviews of "Downfall Race"

Cheers! "Downfall Race" has gained a couple of new reviews. Below some rough traslations of reviews.

Inferno maganize wrote: "Band sounds conveniently new and old at the same time ... Vocalist Teemu Heurlin's voice reminds of, in a good way, many metal vocalist of the past, and with tight playing and good basic riffs, the whole package sounds good ... Good work, which doesn't bowdown to any trends."

Miasma magazine gave 4/5 and wrote: "While thrash is the main road, there are still some intresting backroads to many other styles. In a song called 'Downfall Race' you can hear deathmetal influences, and all of a sudden they throw in AC/DC kind of tunes". They also wrote: "Dead Unity holds some challenging riffing and great melodic solos."

Also remember to check out our video "Dead Unity" as mentioned in previous update!
