Avarice formed in Denmark in 2006 and built their name through live activity, festival appearances, and a hard return after a long break. After coming back in 2021 with "Reborn In Blood", the band pushed forward again with their self-titled album "Avarice" in 2023. On "Perpetual Ruin", the line-up of Anders Sinding on vocals, Jens H. and Troels Rasmussen on guitars, Emil Stephansen on bass, and Troels Lund-Sørensen on drums brings the band into a harsher and more focused phase, with Mighty Music behind the release.
"Perpetual Ruin" is a harsh and angry album, built on death metal, thrash metal, hardcore touches, and melodic death metal lines. The sound attacks, with fast riffing, heavy rhythms, and vocals that spit out the
material with force. Avarice sounds focused, armed, and ready to smash their way through the Danish scene again.
The album deals with collapse, punishment, morality, antiquity, and the darker side of human behavior. That kind of subject matter gives "Perpetual Ruin" a grim character, without turning it into some overblown concept lecture. The music stays aggressive and physical, with riffs that bring Sepultura, Slayer, and Machine Head to mind, while the more melodic parts add extra color without softening the blow.
Chris Kreutzfeldt’s production gives the album a modern shape, clear enough to hear the details and heavy enough to avoid sounding weak. The guitars have a sharp attack, the drums push hard, and the vocals sit right in the front where they belong. It is not a perfect album, since a few parts stay close to familiar death/thrash territory, and some ideas could have been nastier or more daring. Still, the overall result is strong, mean, and serious. "Perpetual Ruin" is a good step forward for Avarice. It has the anger, speed, and heaviness needed for this style, along with enough melodic death metal influence to give the album more shape than basic thrash/death violence.
