Wasting no time in staking their claim for death metal supremacy, Swedish newcomers ENSNARED unleash their debut mini-album, Ravenous Damnation's Dawn, following their hotly tipped 2011 demo. But let not their country of origin fool you, for ENSNARED are no mere old-school Swedeath revisionists: schooled in the "old," yes, but this fiery quartet mainline the blackthrashing insanity of '80s South America into a robust, gnarly soundfield that remains both fresh and timeless. With dizzying intensity and a flow that's forever straddling chaos and control, Ravenous Damnation's Dawn indeed ensnares the listener into a slipstream of diabolical majesty. Buttressed with CD bonus tracks from their 2011 demo, ENSNARED's Ravenous Damnation's Dawn proves that the first strike is indeed deadly!
