“Blood Mantra”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka commented on the album, "Extreme and groove — I think that's the best way to describe our new album. This time we feel that we have something totally crushing and huge. Blood Mantra is the most heavy and mature album we ever did in our career. I cannot wait to start to play songs live because riffs are soo deep and powerful." He also stated, "We flirt with various tempos mixing death metal with grindcore and almost outright black metal atmosphere together with more, so to speak, 'crowd-puller' beats verging on groovy, almost stoner-rock climates. There are also a few more modern metal rhythmic riffs where we return to the climate of Organic Hallucinosis album. I'm certain that the very fact we are again, after 9 years, in Hertz studio will evoke the spirit of that album. The vocals sound very promising. Rasta [Rafał Piotrowski] is a much more experienced vocalist compared to the Carnival Is Forever album times. And his voice sounds more powerful and deeper."

Critical reception

In a Blood Mantra review, Revolver stated: "Twelve years after Poland’s Decapitated raised the death-metal bar with its mighty sophomore album, Nihility, the band’s dynamic arrangements and scalpel-edged musicianship are still a wonder to behold".^[13]

According to Exclaim!, "Blood Mantra features the band's signature well-executed style, but with the experimental twists that Decapitated have mastered over the years and have provided the distinguishing factor between albums. The band's trademark crushing technicality and heavy, aggressive grooves ("Exiled in Flesh," "Veins") juxtapose with new elements such as melodic passages and avant-garde structures ("Blindness," "Red Sun")".^[11]

12. ^¹{{cite news|first=|last=|title=Decapitated Blood Matra|newspaper=The Sun|date=September 29, 2014|quote=For all its maniacal ferocity, death metal is, by and large, a conformist niche. Decapitated have always been one of the few bands to break the ties that bind without ever reneging on the genre - on their fan base, built up over two decades. Vogg's guitar work is devastating in its technicality and brutality, while the pulsating Veins steals my vote for the death metal track of the year. Bringing dashes of black metal, grindcore and even stoner rock into the mix, Decapitated's sixth album is the black cherry in top of their fallen angel cake. It's a great effort. Death doesn't often sound so alive. (Rating: 4.5/5)}}
