Review
Display Of Decay return with Desolate Dawn, Pt. 1, an EP that punches you straight in the face: raw, violent and made for those who want death metal with no filtering. The band from Canada delivers five tracks full of heavy, aggressive riffs, merciless blastbeats, screams from the depths of the earth and an atmosphere that smells of blood and sweat.

The guitars have that workout‑mosh vibe: chunky riffs, mid‑tempo hits that lift you out of your seat, and fast attacks that recall the old school. The drums are truly relentless — the drummer hits as if he wants to break the kit, with blastbeats that fill the space and crashes that give a wild, aggressive texture.
The low gutturals are among the EP’s strongest elements: deep, dirty, almost beastly. The voice seems to come from some underground monster, giving the material an extra dose of ferocity.
The highlight is “Crimson Execution”: a track full of groove, heaviness and raw energy. It’s the EP’s most infectious point and clearly shows what the band can do when it combines brutality with proper rhythmic tightness.

Desolate Dawn, Pt. 1 is short, direct and effective. If you love death metal that doesn’t try to be anything other than pure violence and fun, this EP is for you. And yes — if a Part 2 happens, it will be interesting to see where they take it.
