Blast-beating death-thrash in the vein of Sodom, Kreator, Agressor, Merciless, Armoros, [early] Slayer, etc. Includes a Merciless cover, as well!
Dark Descent Records, 2019

(from the label's official writeup) [This LP is]"...a culmination of
spastic, frenetic riffs and urgent blasting energy, punctuated by
sadistic, harsh lyrics delivered via barbarous, grating vocals.” Their
songs are about sadism, medieval scenes of violence and carnage, the
senseless nature of war, the Black Plague, idiot religions, and the
industrialization of war and weaponry. No wonder then that they’ve
covered Merciless' classic from their The Awakening album ‘Denied
Birth’ and that most of their influences seem to come not only from
the 80’s but from the then bleak industrial-like German birth place of
Sodom and Kreator. “With the exception of Slayer, I always felt like
80’s German thrash metal was much more deathly and abrasive,
which speaks more to us. Pleasure to Kill, Riders of Doom – there
aren't many US bands that have records worth comparing to these! I
have to confess though that it's important not to understate the effect
Repulsion has always had on me... Most of their really classic songs
are just thrash metal riffs played at 45 RPM. Total death!”

All three musicians - Spencer from Blaspherian joined them on bass
after the recording - may have roots in grindcore (PLF), war metal
(Morbosidad) and evil death metal (Blaspherian) yet Summary
Execution at Dawn lives in its own time frame. With some songs
harking back as far as 2010 and a recording slowly chipped away at
since 2015, the result is 34 minutes of death/thrash executed at
rabid speed, set in medieval times when “life was cheap” and tyrants
and cruel wizards ruled the earth. In the sign of evil indeed!
