Blaspherian craft old school death metal (INCANTATION, ASPHYX, CIANIDE, IMMOLATION) from a few power chords and a deliberate, calculating sense of foreboding evil. Their doomy death metal stands out for being true to its origins but not repeating the past, and instead forming a new voice from the lexicon of the death metal ancients.

I liked the early/mid 90's the first time around when I would see Vital Remains with Gruslin, steal seven copies of Surrealistic Madness, three issues of S.O.D. and sundry Wild Rags tapes from Dwyer. Now it's old and stale and I make more money, eat expensive salmon and play the ebony fretboards while fat Spaniards with pawn shop HM-2's play dropped-C5's on Decatur clapboard.

In the best tradition of death metal, these songs make sense once you’ve heard all the riffs in sequence, but you would not think they’d fit together if you heard them separately. This gestalt allows Blaspherian to create a deepening atmosphere of cavernous doom, using the time-worn technique of old school death metal bands but wrapping it around a new spirit, one in which evil is deliberate and contemplative instead of chaotic.

"'Infernal Warriors of Death' is detached, inhuman, and massively evil. While it pays tribute to the past, it does so with its own voice." - Sputnik Musik
"There is menace in this album, and I mean that in the best possible way." - Metal Archives
"The emotional side of death metal emerges but is confined within a cold and inhuman logic, making this music both as natural as an open summer sky and brilliantly outside of the human norm under which we suffer." -
"On the surface it sounds like many other old school death metal bands, but within its structure is a songwriting voice that is both unique and powerful." - [URL=http://www.examiner.com/metal-music-in-houston/blaspherian-infernal-warriors-of-death-1]Examiner.com
"Infernal Warriors of Death rebirths the old school death metal sound in living form." - Dark Legions Archive
Great release that keeps on growing on me. Also:
Interview with Wes Infernal of Blaspherian: "In my opinion, the truth is that no one knows what happens when we die. That's reality."
