Beast Within – Adversity/Servitude (2014)

Being released in a limited run of 500 vinyl copies, today we have Canada’s old school Black/Death Metal juggernauts Best Within and their two song 7”. Filled with filthy and hateful sound, this release showcases the band’s worship for acts like Celtic Frost and Pentagram.

The “Adversity” side of things features super catchy riffs, reminiscent of current Black’n’Roll bands but with that extra spunk of older acts. The pace is quite mellow and the vocalist’s snarls are perfect for this kind of music. As “Servitude” rolls in, the band consolidates their sound to be quite punishing and old school, but with their own type of sickness. The guitar work is quite powerful and the bass guitar really stands out in this last track.

Overall, “Adversity/Servitude” is a little introduction to a promising band. With an old school sound, Beast Within’s appeal with reach more traditional fans. If you like your music to sound like it used to 20 years ago, look no further and pick up this collector’s item.
