New review @ trampletheweek.wordpress/ "I can’t imagine how slim my metal collection would look if I had to go on name alone. Sans hearing, I’d probably shelve Undersave in with Solid State if appellation was my only bit of evidence. That or I’d figure it was an audio patent for an absorbent boxer brief liner to guard against skids. But, thank Dio I’m wrong (I thank Dio a lot, then), because Undersave is actually a brutal, bestial duo (now trio) of death metal Lisboans doing midperiod Immolation mighty proud. Chrrrrr-ist, the riffs on this thing. Don’t listen to it out in public unless you want someone to throw you on the floor and jam a spoon in your mouth. I can’t imagine the intense amount of patience it must’ve taken to even perform these compositions since the nutters structure their songs like someone playing hopscotch with a d20 modifier. Check out “Assuming a Position…A Way to Criticize One’s Own Hypocrisy.” A chunky chug opens the cut, though you notice Undersave brain Nuno Braz refuses to give the riffs the same read, preferring passes that mutate with additional notes or NYC-scene squeeeeees. Then, it’s off the races, with the band chasing a blastbeat rabbit around the tremolo track. At 1:55, without any warning, you let your horn-shaped hand instinctively fly high to accompany the ascending scaled slam. The riff zig-zags upwards like bat’s flightpath before it’s sucked into the turbine engine of Incantation International. For the next five minutes, you hit pockets of vicious kick drum turbulence, off-kilter downstrums that drop an oxygen mask from the ceiling, and, as you gasp and turn blue, classic suffocating Mullen bellows. Now, crash and burn your productivity with this. Undersave yourself from a blasé day of boring assignments."
