Lansing, Michigan's Summon have been playing a brutal as HECT amalgamam of death, black and thrash metal for some time now without appropriate recognition. 2003's "And the Blood Runs Black" (produced by the legendary James Murphy and put out on the respected Moribund label) was proof that while not getting the attention they deserve for their face ripping compositions, there was a spike in recognition. Now we have the latest offering, entitled "Fallen"

I'll say right off the bat that this album easily holds a place in my top 10 for this year. There is not one weak link on this album and it never tires me out. "Blood Red Skies" starts with a Hate Eternal-like intro before morphing into a bastard of a black metal song which then crushes your skull with an absolutely monstorous break down (not like some CRAPPY mallcore breakdown, think more of a groove section). "Upon Wings of Chaos" thrashes about with some obvious death metal influences as do many songs on the album. One thing I noticed is that this album is much thrashier than its predecessor. Some of the blinding death metal speed is still there but Summon opts for more of a thrash feel on this one.

With the thrash thing being stated, I want to talk about the sledgehammer that is "Loud as Hell, Fast as F***". This one has old school thrash written all over it, down to the lyrics talking about drinking, their band's volume, and finally "f*** your band". This song should be pitted against Usurper's "Kill for Metal" to determine the most metal song of the year. Even if you don't like any death metal or black metal, you will love "Loud as Hell, Fast as F***". Easily the best song on the album.

To conclude, BUY THIS!!! In the current metal climate filled with Gothenburg clones, Mallcore whores, and Cradle wannabes, it's a joy to hear something like this. Just a fu****g awesome record.
