Blazing Tomb Singles From The Tomb CD Review

March 2, 2025

Richmond, Virginia's Blazing Tomb is back with their latest EP which offers up a quick fix of sweltering death metal in the vein of Bolt Thrower and Obituary that is sure to have you chomping at the bit for the release of their forthcoming full-length album. 'Singles from the Tomb' contains three tracks and clocks in at about 12 minutes and the band makes excellent use of every moment. Opener "Visions from the Grey" starts off slow and methodical before releasing its fury and at times feels influenced by Cannibal Corpse with its tempo and chugging riffs. "Tortured Minds" is my favorite offering with its reliance on groove metal riffs and half-time rhythms that place me fondly back in time when I first listened to Obituary's 'Slowly We Rot' and 'Cause of Death'. 'Singles from the Tomb' is absolutely worth investing your time in as if their full length is anything like this, it will be a top contender for death metal album of the year.
