LIVING GATE’s debut full-length, Suffer as One, delivers a masterclass in old-school death metal revitalized with modern intensity. Featuring a lineup of acclaimed musicians including Aaron Rieseberg, Lennart Bossu, Wim Coppers, and Levy Seynaeve, the album expands on the raw power of their earlier releases with intricate, crushing riffs and relentless blast beats. From the aggressive opener “To Cut the Head Off a Snake” to the hardcore-infused “Destroy and Consume,” the record balances technical complexity with visceral impact. Moments like the eerie bass-driven “Massive Depletion in Eb Minor” provide contrast before the monumental title track unleashes its full force. Suffer as One stands as a formidable statement, blending precision and ferocity to push death metal into new, uncharted territory.
