DELIVER US FROM EVIL have self-released three songs that are just as good as anything else I have heard from the game’s elite in 2010, including FEAR FACTORY. The powerful five piece from Evansville, Indiana (USA) has become what this reviewer feels is the baddest heavy metal act to emerge onto the scene in the past five years. How not one of the big labels in metal has set foot within one hundred feet of this band… is absolutely mind boggling to me. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. You are that out of touch that you can’t get even a whiff of their utter brilliance – all this time later? I first started writing about them FIVE YEARS AGO… at the world’s top metal news site! They are just as fierce as a young LAMB OF GOD, no – maybe even (dare I say) a step beyond that already and with track one’s straight up pummeling-of-your-head entitled “Still I Rise” you’re going to learn – whether you like it or not. You will listen to drummer Alex Morgan do his thing… and man, it’s just the kind of punishment ones ears truly need. You will hear ‘passion in riffs’ and a literally throat searing performance from vocalist Brent Vaughn that clearly outmatches anything else you’ll hear in heavy music today. Track two’s “Death Mortar” is hands down the best heavy metal song I have heard in all of 2010. I can’t even begin to describe how great these dudes are on this track. Morgan’s drum work here – in my opinion – puts him entirely in a league of his own, with his robotic like drumming that seems it’s taking eight legs to achieve the monster-like double-kick bass slaying he does on this song. Track three’s “Walk Into My Grave” does even more to prove what I am talking about. ‘Never give in’.. are the poignant lyrics Vaughn sings here… and I sure hope for the sake of metal’s future, that this talented group doesn’t ever give in.
