Quando ouvimos Point Blank Termination, o mais recente disco da banda de São Petersburgo, Infiltration, somos imediatamente transportados para o som puro e avassalador do death metal purista e com muito groove dos anos 90.
Fiéis a essas raízes, essa fidelidade continua a soar verdadeira e cada vez mais legítima, actuando como um perfeito catalisador sónico para inquietudes, ansiedades e frustrações. São 8 temas de pura catarse musical para os fãs mais obstinados de death metal tradicional que não teme ser inventivo.
Somos obliterados pelo groove maníaco em Collateral Damage ou os riffs explosivos e catchy em Radiation Storm. Todo o conceito do álbum que engloba a imagética da capa, os temas das líricas e as composições fazem jus ao nome da banda, Infiltration, pois somos infiltrados por um sentimento de estarmos no meio de uma catástrofe nuclear.
Avassalador e com uma sensação de caos, Point Blank Termination assume o seu poder como um longa-duração de death metal que agradará a fãs de bandas como Bolt Thrower. É o mais recente disco de Infiltration que nasceu em 2017 e que juntou músicos de outras bandas, tais como Free at Last, Hellbomb, Chamber of Torture, Katalepsy e Abnormal. Infiltration partilhou palcos com bandas como Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Suffocation, Broken Hope, Destroyer 666, Necrophobic, Napalm Death e Decapitated.

As we listen to Point Blank Termination, the latest album from Infiltration(Saint- Petersburg – Russia) we are immediately launched back to the pure and crushing sound of death metal from the 90’s.
Faithful to those roots, that fidelity still sounds true and very much legit, acting as a perfect sonic catalyser that flushes out anxieties and frustrations. These are 8 themes of pure musical catharsis for the most obstinate fans of traditional death metal that does not fear to innovate.
We are obliterated by the maniac groove in Collateral Damage or the explosive and addictive riffs present in Radiation Storm. The general concept that includes the art work, the lyrics and the compositions stay true to the band’s name, Infiltration, since we are infiltrated by a sense of alienness, of being trapped or in the midst of a nuclear catastrophe.
Colossal and with a sense of somewhat controlled chaos, Point Blank Termination assumes its power as a death metal LP that will thrill fans of bands like Bolt Thrower. It’s the latest album by Infiltration that was formed in 2017 and that joined musicians from several bands like Free at Last, Hellbomb, Chamber of Torture, Katalepsy and Abnormal. Infiltration also shared stages with bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Suffocation, Broken Hope, Destroyer 666, Necrophobic, Napalm Death e Decapitated.
