Denial Fiend
Denial Fiend marks the return of vocalist Kam Lee,
well known for his one-time main band
Massacre
as well as his early work in the seminal death metal
band
Death.
Along for the ride here is another Death/Massacre
man in bassist Terry Butler, as well as another
Floridian metal veteran in former
Nasty Savage
drummer Curtis Beeson, the quartet rounded out with
guitarist Sam Williams.
Their full-length debut,
They Rise, is loosely a death
metal album, but not so much in the traditional or
Floridian sense.
Instead, this is part death, part thrash, and part death 'n roll,
with lyrics almost exclusively in the horror vein (as many
have pointed out, this is either a tribute to, or an influence from,
Misfits).
Lee's vocals are forceful, not really the stereotypical death growls
but a lower-pitched roar, powerful and more intelligible than many
death vocalists.
The songs do get samey from time to time, and when all is said
and done this isn't a perfect or essential album, but it's certainly
not bad, and the horror aspect distances it from the pack a bit.
Lee and Beeson announced their amicable departure from the group in
January 2009, with a new lineup set to release a new album in 2011.
