Lelahell are from Algeria and play Death Metal. This is their début album.
This is Brutal Death Metal played fast and played heavy.
After the usual pointless intro, (mercifully brief), the real fun starts and the band introduce us to their blasting mayhem.
The vocals are the first surprise. Usually with this style of Death Metal we get typical ultra-guttural growls, but the majority of the vocals on this album are higher screams, (although deeper growls are used as well). It sounds good and reminds of a band like Defleshed.
The guitars have a nice tone to them and sound quite thick. The riffs are a bit more inventive than the norm, with colourful melodies and unusual flavours to the tunes. The songs have an exotic flair to them; Lelahell are definitely not your typical Cannibal Corpse clone.
This album is crushingly brutal and has a sound to match that’s suitably huge and clear. Lelahell are a very satisfying proposition and this chunky, thick sound combined with the band’s songwriting skills, dynamics and interesting riffs means this is an album to really get into.
As début’s go, this is a winner. Lots of bands are content to tread water, but Lelahell are more interested in forging their own path, and more power to them for this.
Make sure you get a hold of Al Insane… The (Re)birth of Abderrahmane. It’s well worth the investment.

Holy shit. Doesn’t this remind you very early Melechesh works? 😉 I guess this is that East vibe that makes me feel that way. Anyway, good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
