Trepalium - XIII

Combine good old death metal with some of the fattest bass grooves around, bouncy and swing-ish rhythms and you've got Trepalium, a band that seems committed to making death metal that compels you to actually dance rather than the usual moshing. Hailing from France, Trepalium have been very active in recent years, touring with bands such as Gojira, Aborted and Behemoth to name a few.

XIII is definitely logical step in the bands stylistic evolution from their previous material, their usage of infectious beats, catchy riffing and monster grooves reaching a whole new level.

Since their debut album Through the Absurd in 2004, Trepalium have become a household name in French death metal, with their extensive touring and renowned live performances cementing them into the death metal scene. I recommend this album to any death metal fan, definitely a must-have.
