Petrification are a band from Portland, Oregon that plays a very old school form of death metal with a touch of doom metal and this is a review of their 2017 ep "Summon Horrendous Destruction" which was released by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
A very heavy sound starts off the ep along with all of the musical instruments soundign very powerful while the solos and leads are done in a very dark and melodic fashion and the music is also very heavily rooted in the early 90's and after awhile death metal growls start to make their presence known.
Melodies can also be heard in the riffing while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a decent amount of blast beats and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the tracks sounding like they could of easily recorded and released more than 25 years ago and elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs and keyboards are also added onto one of the tracks.
Petrification plays a style of doom/death metal that is very heavily rooted in the early 90's tradition and mixing the Swedish, Finnish and English forms of the genre together, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover giant man eating arachnids and other horrors that lurk on the edge of the void.
In my opinion Petrification are a very great sounding old school mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Stagnation Of Transmigration" and "Desecrators Of Conscious Entropy". 8 out of 10.
