Early in the morning, and it's almost becoming a tradition to spew some death metal through my speakers.  It's good music to wake up to, that's for sure.  Hailing from a town named 'Landshut' in Bayern, Germany, this quartet came up with a fast-paced and highly technical debut.  Sektor started in 2011 and have been working on their path to metal fame ever since.  Their weapon of choice is blackened death metal, usually with a very modern sound while still letting some old school influences shine through.

You can actually hear that in the first two songs.  While 'Iron Cold' is a fierce piece of blackened death metal, 'The Question' takes on a more melodic approach.  From there on, the album continues to alternate both version, becoming quite a varied album.  'A Fire Burns', for instance, smashes in vintage death metal tradition with complex riffs and a vast array of hammering drums.  Above all that noise, a brutal voice screams and barks.

Although from a high technical level, Sektor make it sound so easy to play these songs.  In 'The Takeover', they switch tempo and riffs as it's a child's game.  Of course, not every single sound is played with these massive technical abilities, even I could play some of these riffs, but still there seems to be a lot of talent and/or experience.  'Social Predator' shows a highly energetic drummer who puts blast-beats over slow passages, which is simply awesome.

Yet, there's still this old school black metal feeling shining through, along with some elements from thrash metal and a hint of metalcore.  Blending all these genres together into one, distinct, sound isn't easy but somehow Sektor pulled it off and wrote a massive and varied album.  I mean, just listen to the sheer brutality of 'The Rage' and you'll be convinced of their capabilities.
