Maim - Deceased to Exist

Maim
Deceased to Exist
2011 Soulseller Records
Between their first album and this one, it sounds like Maim changed the core of their sound at least a little bit. The blatantly Autopsy-inspired riffs are gone for the most part, and instead is something that sounds like the bastard child of Entombed circa the "Crawl" ep, and maybe Morgoth's "Cursed" release. Kind of along those lines at least. Throw in some Celtic Frost-styled touches and a focus on writing in as brutal of an old school way as possible, and that's Maim for 2011. No sophomore slump here, and it's plain to hear that unless something goes seriously wrong, they'll be playing death metal in the ancient vein for a long time to come.
