Deathroll, Maxi Single: This review will evaluate every aspect of the single, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this single is worth adding to your collection.
The First Three Sins of Maxi Single
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Deathroll and his Maxi Single.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features sharp crushing and aggressive riffs/fret-board (technically) solos, while the dark rhythms balance perfectly with the depth and dynamism of bass riffs. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves harsh, nightmarish fang fang-striking snarls/growls. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of raw and evil/fire drum strikes and beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Depicting the darkness of evil and true nightmarish and fang striking…
Immediately, as the listener presses the play button, one is welcome to both pieces, Causing A Nightmare and Destiny. Each piece has an identity of its own but is enveloped in a fashion of keeping the song old-school and underground.
Simultaneously, the maxi-single and ‘Kazu‘ musical influences that come into play, which include (likes of) Burzum, Morbid Angel, Slayer, and Judas Priest – while delivering the listener with various elements and characteristics such as death metal, thrash metal, and heavy speed metal. Death-heavy, blackened death, punk and roll, and aggressive attitude.
Thus creating and moulding a black metal depicting the darkness of jet black and breaking your heart.
As soon as you listen, it will catch you like a black raptor. That’s an intentional outrageously evil, true nightmare, fang striking, energetic, fresh, enjoyable, heavy, loud, speed-driven and primitive/modern production, aggressive raw, old-school and underground, draws the listener in.
The album comes to an end. We want to give a shoutout to Glob Metal for letting us review Deathroll and his Maxi Single. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.

PlayThe Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins, our thoughts on Deathroll and his Maxi Single.
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia: While listening to the Maxi-single (including his previous work), I did find some Bathory, Venom, and Deathroll‘s Japanese brethren act Sabbat and a few more buried (including the influences above) within the music.
Deathroll also provides the listener with a pure nightmare of adrenaline and a ferocious attack of equally solid, strongly composed music and lyrics. The guitar, bass, drum and the no-clean-singing policy, are played in a quick, tight and well-balanced manner.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork is OK! not the best, nor the worst!
The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:
Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of Deathroll, and his Maxi Single.
This concludes the Deathroll, Maxi Single review.
