Kaamos will strike you like a mace to the face on 'Lucifer Rising', an emboldened platter of guttural death which exudes a particularly evil nature. Judging from the album's patently obscene cover art, these guys are heavy into singing the praises of the horned one. The band's attack is reminiscent of Morbid Angel musically, but vocalist Karl delivers his bestial grunts in a much more guttural nature than David Vincent, making for a listen that is heavy as Hell on the whole. Kaamos exudes a reflection of evil that is dark, cold and intensely devilish on 'Black Revelation', a track filled with an upfront brutal electricity.
Chris Piss can kick out some heavy beats, but the primary fury of Kaamos lies in the bands Ordo Ab Chos fretwork which is brooding and literally splattered all over the place. 'Gnosticon' stands out as one of the records most forceful tracks, while the over the top, Kerry King style solo which graces 'Theriomorphic Pandaemonium' simply rips you head off. The tonal butchery gets really intense during the title track, where Kaamos thrashes along soundly.
Many of the arrangements could be likened to a more brutal Coroner or less forgiving Deicide, if that is possible. The band does not however make use of extensive double tracking which helps the material to retain a primal nature that strikes at the heart of what this style of music is all about. 'Sacrament In Red' contains a blistering single note riff before lapsing into some Carcass influenced power riffing that does the job like a ten pound sledge. Not for the faint of heart or weak of mind, 'Lucifer Rising' is a muscular beast of death that will snap your neck until your head is left hanging lifelessly.
