Advantages: Good guitar work.

Disadvantages: Doesn't make sense.

Decrepit Birth is an unusual case. Yet another technically-minded death metal band, this time from the USA, their approach to brutality bizarrely consists of an overdose of lead guitar melodies playing up and down the major scales like an unimaginative Yngwie Malmsteen wannabe who only knows how to play up and down the same string. The music is fine from a technical point of view, though bound to be disappointing if you expected something with greater virtuosity, it just really doesn't work in any way.

A predominantly light and cheery melody section over the mechanical clicking of bass drums and guttural roared vocals doesn't sound like any death metal I've ever heard, and for once I don't welcome the change. Each song is filled with this light noodling destroying any sense of power or energy, and this all makes for an unmemorable and tedious listening experience with zero replay value.
