Vital Remains
A veteran East Coast death metal band, Vital Remains already
had made a name for themselves with a string of successful
albums in the 90's, but scored a major coup by recruiting
Deicide's
Glen Benton
for their fifth album, 2003's
Dechristianize, one of the better
pure death metal releases of the year.
Benton's vocals are as intense as one would expect, but the
guitar work of Tony Lazaro and Dave Suzuki deserve a mention,
as they inject an unexpected sense of melody amidst the typical
brutal riffing (best heard on the title track).
Benton hung around for the band's next (and, to date, last)
album, 2007's
Icons Of Evil, but is long gone, with founder
Tony Lazaro keeping the band alive with a revamped lineup.
