Deferum Sacrum - Septicaemia (Review)

After three years of the Antichristian Disease EP release, Ukrainians Deferum Sacrum bring forth a new work, the album Septicaemia released on February 15, 2011, under the seal of More Hate Productions, seems to show what they're made of.
In the meantime the group has changed not only musically but in their composition, after all, at the end of 2010 after five years of joint work group leaves drummer Yar. To replace his Adopted Equinox (Black Inquisition, Flying, Semargl, Revolt), And also agreed with the Russian label More Hate Productions release of the full-length album in 2011.
In this latter work the maturation of the group is notable, the songs are fuller, more aggressive drums, riffs more worked, and stronger vocal.




The album consists of 8 tracks, 38:18 total time, and the current group is Athamas - Vocals, bass (Raventale) Morthvarg - Guitar (Balance Interruption, Semargl, Den of Winter), Equinox - Drums (Balance Interruption, Den of Winter) Astaroth - Guitar (Raventale, Den of Winter).

Septicaemia (also septicemia) is a related medical term referring to the presence of pathogenic organisms in the bloodstream, leading to sepsis. The body may develop this inflammatory response by the immune system to microbes in the blood, urine, lungs, skin, or other tissues.

The album starts with the track That Name Itself, "Septicaemia, " That starts slow but very aggressive, then, suddenly it goes fast and powerful, specially the riffs and vocals, for sure, matched the responsibility to name the album.

The second track, "The Crawl", follow the firts's same rhythm, starts slow and then attack your tympanum with the high speed of the riffs and the drum. It's a good track.

"All Living Fades" it's the third, and, unlike the others, starts fast and keep this rhythm until after the middle, where turns into a more pace rhythm, what gives a good contrast at the end. At this song it's possible to realize the ripening of the group very well.

The fourth, "‎Emasculating Touch of God" begins with a few screams of terror that soon are substituted by the attack of the drums, at this song, the pace is much shifting among the slow and fast, what makes it almost hypnotic with the distortions at the end. Great Song.

At "Crown Of Degradation" we can realize the solidity of this album and of the group, sometimes makes me remember Dark Funeral a bit.

 The sixth, "Flame Of Extinction Shall Burn", in fact, burns from the beginning to the end, with a small exception at the starts of the last quarter, when the cadence replaces the speed.

The seventh, "Reverential Paralysis" it's instrumental, it's like a horror lullaby, hypnotic, slow, and creepy with the whispers. One of the bests.

The last, "Mass Supression" starts calm following the rhythm of the previous and slowly growing until explode into screams and fast beats, followed again by a slow and calm pace, and, what prevail are just screams at the background finishing with absolute silence.


The More Hate Productions did a good job here, everything is alright.

The highlight in the album is the contrast in tempo and the drummer managed it very well. I felt some monotony in a few moments, but nothing that will get the merit of the work.
