There is no doubt that “Bleed on My Teeth” is the strongest release by Dark Descent Records and Sepulchral Voice Records this year, the album is filled with sharp riffing parallel Slayer‘s classic albums like “Hell Awaits”. It’s an all-fired outrage that delivers frantic blast beats and while the riffing is very powerful and frantic executing plenty of hooks, all hell breaks loose in the next song “Ophidian Strike”.
The brutal mid-paced drums shift to machine gun-like blast beats steered by hellish growling, and boisterous tempos igniting relentless riffing in your face, this brutal statement from Adorior brings forth its utter aggression as if the whole album has that atmosphere of unholy hell consuming the world. The riffing shines throughout laden with thrashier and blistering guitar tones; the feverish satanic aura grows intensely when the dual guitars execute savage tempos in the song.

Blistering riffs cleave through breakneck speed and the rapid pacing displays a unique method of riffing extracted from raw black/death metal. The drums are brutal and keep the momentum, unleashing sporadic blast beats and brutal pummeling in “Precipice of Fire”. The sheer aggression of Adorior emphasizes infectious riffs that storm between mid-paced drumming and furiously driven with tremolo riffs oozing a dense ominous atmosphere.

The music maintains an intellectual approach to the songs, and despite the fast-laden tempos some of the songs like the album highlight “Scavengers of Vengeance” start slowly only to shift towards a chaotic blistering tempo.
The drumming in the album combines aggressive and brutal sections but at the same time unpredictable; there is a slower-paced groove to create diversity among the songs and push dynamics, this also paves the way for plenty of thrash metal riffs showcasing extreme and more complex riffing. “Moment of Mania” instills rapid blasting sections.
