Asphyx – ‘Incoming Death’ CD

When great extreme metal reunions are spoken of, whether it be Godflesh, Carcass, At The Gates, Autopsy or briefly Celtic Frost, Asphyx often gets forgotten and left out of the conversation. Maybe the reason is that it is sometimes easy to forget that they ever went away, the Dutchmen simply plugging their amps back in and casually picking right up from where they left off with little fanfare, humble as ever. That being said, in the four-and-a-half-year wait for a follow-up to 2012s ‘Deathhammer’, their absence was felt.

Luckily, true to form, ‘Incoming Death’ again picks up right from where they before. Unfortunately, there are no wild, unprecedented leaps with Asphyx. Instead just unholy old-school death metal for those with an insatiable hunger for the stuff.
