Band

(Underground Movement, 2008)
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland Warpath play a straight ahead bulldozing style of death metal that straddles the line between heaviness and catchiness. While there are modern influences, saying the band was old school in nature wouldnt be far off. At the end of the day what matters is the music and this kicks a whole lot of ass.
If you combined Dying Fetus with Tomb of the Mutilated era Cannibal Corpse and threw in some Sinister youd have Warpath. There are even a few surprising riffs that bring to mind Swedish death metal. The overall style of the band is easily associated with the death metal genre, but the band definitely has an original take on the genre. If you are a death metal fan, youll enjoy this plain and simple.
The production is surprisingly good, with a powerful guitar sound and an excellent drum sound. The sound allows a lot of energy to come across and has a nice natural ring to it. The vocals are mixed loud enough for the vocals to be hard hitting but not overpowering. Its odd to think that death metal albums are becoming overproduced but it is happening. This album proves that a powerful and clean sound is what makes a death metal album effective, not studio polish.
If you enjoy chunky death metal with a melodic flair you'll definitely want to check out Warpath. Fans of thrash would also find many aspects of the Warpath sound appealing. Chances are you have never heard Warpath before, but this is a band sure to make a name for themselves. This is a band I could see fitting on the Metal Blade roster perfectly.
