I wasn't too familiar with Vital Remains before I put Dechristianize in the cd-player, but right from the opening intro "Let the Killing Begin" I knew something great was lying in wait.

To tell the truth I wasn't disappointed at all even though the overall mix is a little odd; I'm mainly thinking of Glenn Benton on vocals who lies a little too high in the mix in my opinion, but other than that I really can't complain. Sure, I've seen and heard the complaints that Benton's vocals are too monotone, but I say get over it 'cause there is so much coolness going on in this album that the vocals shouldn't hold you back.

I mean, there are plenty of dual leads that easily could lead your thoughts to Iron Maiden, blast beats, spanish guitars etc., and with a running time of more than sixty minutes, you really get value for your money. One thing is for sure- Vital Remains really got me hooked with this awesome release, and you will probably also be if you're a fan of bands such as Deicide and Deceased.
