            Û  Skull Crushing!! I'm sorry but those are the only   Û
            Û  words fitting of this band. Under The Grave are     Û
            Û  Montreal-based teenage newcomers, but trust me,     Û
            Û  with time they'll breathe harder down their older   Û
            Û  comrades's necks! Despite the fact that most band   Û
            Û  members are all 18 or close to it, its astonishing  Û
            Û  how mature they sound. Taking cues from swedish     Û
            Û  black/death metal bands for their their sound,      Û
            Û  adding just a tad of trash to the mix. It's all     Û
            Û  the more surprising that they've mastered that      Û
            Û  style right from the beginning. Indeed Until Death  Û
            Û  Takes Us All is a shotgun blast to the head, being  Û
            Û  so varied, melodic, brutal, versatile, that you     Û
            Û  cant help but bang your frigging head against the   Û
            Û  walls. Trust me, it is THAT good.                   Û
            Û  Maxime Daigneault is the bellowing voice you hear   Û
            Û  on this record, and boy does this man sounds        Û
            Û  pissed off as hell. There's some variety to his     Û
            Û  vocals, switching from to a death to a black metal  Û
            Û  voice effortlessly. Dany Desnoyers and Olivier      Û
            Û  Dagenais deserve as much praise, belting out        Û
            Û  killer demonic and diversified riffs, covering all  Û
            Û  their trash/death/black influences, and it shows.   Û
            Û  A riff can start as brutally as a warhammer swung   Û
            Û  at your face, then mellow down just a bit to let    Û
            Û  some melody in, before goin at breakneck speed.     Û
            Û  They're very competent axe-men. Olivier Pinard is   Û
            Û  pretty good too, blending in nicely and filling     Û
            Û  all the gaps with some solid bass lines, groovy at  Û
            Û  times, other times as burning as sulfuric acid.     Û
            Û  Last but not least, Anthony Savoia. Wow. Need i     Û
            Û  say more? Obviously i do. They're not too           Û
            Û  complicated, although this man sure is a good       Û
            Û  technical basher, who can switch from normal beats  Û
            Û  to some pretty intricate drum fills.                Û
            Û  As mentioned above, taking their cues from the      Û
            Û  swedish metal scene, the same production was        Û
            Û  applied to this album. Which makes me think these   Û
            Û  fellow skull-crushers know perfectly well what      Û
            Û  they do and where they're going. The sound is a     Û
            Û  lil gruff, but clean enough to let you enjoy every  Û
            Û  musician's part. This was the road to take, which   Û
            Û  such monster songs as those. Polishing the sound    Û
            Û  even more may have taken a little bit of            Û
            Û  aggressivity off of their music and THAT would've   Û
            Û  been a real shame. I haven't had the chance to      Û
            Û  hear their self-released demo, but if this album    Û
            Û  is any indication, they're destined to go real      Û
            Û  far, if they keep it together and with some good    Û
            Û  promotion too. I hope they do both, so we may hear  Û
            Û  more from these men. 'Cause believe me or not, but  Û
            Û  Under The Grave is taking down names and will send  Û
            Û  all non believers to their fiery death!!!           Û
