I was checking my files a few days ago to see if I had anything else from the Slovakian band Realms Of Chaos, and I stumbled upon this in the December 2024 folder. It seems I overlooked it in the December black hole at the time, so it is still new to me now. and not bad, just straightforward, no-frills death metal.

Originally formed in 1990, and after 2 early albums, which I have not listened to, the band split up in 96. The original 3 members reformed in 2022, and then in 2024, they released their first new album in over 2 decades, and it is pretty damn good for my tastes.

First off, I want to say thank you to our friend El Faffo for turning me onto this killer piece of US power metal perfection. Back in the '80s, I loved bands that played this style of heavy metal, and I know that there are a lot of modern bands trying to carry the banner for this style, but to me, many of the newer bands sound weak, trying to recapture the sound. Not Savage Oath, these guys are top-notch and spot-on in their conception and delivery of these songs. These guys are for real.

Interesting, I stumbled across this band while doing some research on the US band of the same name. It appears that this trio from Jyväskylä, Finland, was actually the original Decedent as they formed about one year earlier than their US counterparts. I like this album a lot as well, as it doesn't sound much like a lot of the other Finnish death that is out here at the moment.

10. The Lie

Witness: -[*]-
This band has been around since 1990, but I hadn't heard of them before hearing this album a while back, and I was going to say that probably only an old cuss like me would like this, and then I thought that CarlG definitely wouldn't like this and he is an even older cuss than I am. My younger self back in the early '80s would have loved the lead guitarwork on display here and the rawness of the production gives it a nostalgic feel that I can still appreciate now.

For several years, Deivos was at the top of my list of favorite Polish death metal bands, but when Endemic Divine came out, they changed their style a bit, and I kinda lost them, but I do like a lot of this album, so now I feel like I need to go back and check Casus Belli more closely too.
