What this swedish band shows us with their debut is a brand of death metal with lots of groove-fueled hooks and influences from the D-beat/crust scene that is just as vibrant in Sweden as the death metal one. The catchy soloing provides some of the fun-factor typical of the death 'n' roll sound while the powerful riffs together with the great production produces a heavy sound which is particularly notorious once they slow things down, almost achieving a doomy-vibe every once in a while (the later half of "Black Rain" being a fine example of that). Both the bass and drums serve as the main backbone with the later being very variable throughout the whole album and responsible for most of the D-beat influences. The main vocals are reminiscent of L-G Petrov (from Entombed) but lower and more agressive in their approach with some backing hardcore screams that chime in at the right moments.
Being barely 3 years old and with only an EP previous to Inhumanform, Age Of Woe gives us a solid debut that definitely raises some expectations to what they will do next.
