Just when I was about to give up on the possibility of good sound and production in the Latin American death metal underground scene, I received this album, and I was very surprised to hear a good clean production, not incredible, but definitely a step forward in the right direction.

Ok lets get into The Warfare Continues; this is fast brutal death metal album, well maybe not brutal all the time but it certainly isn’t melodic death metal; so lets called very aggressive death metal.

The Warfare Continues has its great moments in which it reminded me of Cannibal Corpse, mainly the vocals on the first track Warfare's Graves, a kick ass track that starts with some…war sounds, and a wounded soldier totally loosing it “fuck you, I’m dying…I’m dying” his screams really got me, poor bastard; then the song explodes and a huge discharge of fast drumming strikes just like the machines guns that wounded that dying soldier.

This album is dedicated to war and its consequences on the soldier’s bodies and minds; a very clear and gruesome scenario is presented with the help of fast drum work and sharp guitars.

Brutal Execution continues its non stop attack to your ears with demon speed drums (shit I kind of like the drums in this one, even though they sound a little artificial at times), deep and powerful growls and a nice tempo.

Grind Down... Enemies, this is my favorite track, mainly because I got the chorus at first listen, and I keep repeating it for a while driving my dog insane, well maybe it wasn’t the chorus, I just keep repeating “Grind Down... Enemies” nice line by the way!

The Warfare Continues is a very solid aggressive death metal album, all the songs are tight, precise and a bit technical; this is one of those records that will give you no surprises other than a good sound quality, and brutality delivered with great timing in both the guitars and the drums.

Born To Kill is a must listen if you are a fan of brutal death metal; again a clean sound that lest you taste the blood coming out of the fingers of Enrique Daniel (guitars); Warlike Cannibalism continues to destroy everything around you with a nice tempo and a catchy rhythm that makes it easy to headbang and appreciate the song from its different elements. Shit I feel like I must say something bad about this album to justified the rating, well, its too fucking short, I wanted more, and the album art is not that good, but who the fuck cares when you have such a nice piece of brutality in your hands!
