Originally recorded in 2003 and after a rather tumultuous series of mishaps with their record label, the album was finally released in 2005 through Sound Riot Records. Oh well, better late than never… Although of a Finnish origin, Devil's Work is not exactly your typical primitive filth galore that we've come to love from the Finnish scene. Instead it employs a relatively clear production, relying mostly on aggressive, thrash-tinged riffage moving within a distinctly death metal framework. Making extensive use of abrasive guitar work and a pummeling drum-attack, it is an album more death metal than anything else. And lest we forget, Raven’s sickening vocal delivery doesn’t fall short in keeping up with the album’s inexorable brutality. Influences abound; from that slow Incantation-esque sickness to early Swedish forerunners Entombed and Grave. There is however a hazy melodic undertone present making itself known at times, accentuated in parts by sporadic passages which mostly give way to their black metal background but also bring to mind old In Flames among others. Burial Mound’s incisive, no-nonsense approach won’t necessarily blast you off your seat but all in all it does go well with a couple of pints and an appropriate mood.
