The long-standing Swedish death metal act Those Who Bring TheTorture aren’t going to surprise many when releasing a new album.While the act has had some shifts over the years (they did start asa death/grind hybrid), more recent efforts have focused more on apurely death metal level. Which sixth full-length Pain Offerings ishappy to deliver more of to the devoted. While the mere mention of‘Swedish death metal’ may instantly usher in thoughts ofEntombed/Grave copycats, Those Who Bring The Torture maintain amore timeless feel. If any band works as a comparison, the way thatthey dive into more melodic (without being too melodic) territoryfeels quite akin towards that of Hypocrisy. While they frequentlydo dip into some driving tempos, such as the ending of themonstrous “Endquester” or frantic yet melodic “Enter The Damned,”the epic scale and grooves kick in for cuts like “Reality – WorstShow Ever” and title track. It’s catchy, it works, and it’scertainly going to leave many with a sore neck. With a sneakyapproach to getting those melodies in, it keeps the songs fromsounding too similar to each other, even if the formula isadmittedly well-worn. The equivalent of death metal fast food, PainOfferings is quick, easy, and convenient death metal for those whowant all of the fury and venom. It can interject melodies andgroove into a pummelling formula with little effort – offering somebig flavour, even if it does feel quite familiar. So if you havesome lingering love for the first 3-4 Hypocrisy albums, Entrails,Amon Amarth, Uncanny, and stuff that employs a non-Gothenburg styleof semi-melodic death metal there is a good chance you’d likelyenjoy this sixth Those Who Bring the Torture album.
