Amputee - Prototype 1 Dead By Dawn

Review by Tom Tong

Amputee's debut album, Prototype 1 Dead By Dawn, is a thrilling and intense journey through the darker side of metal. The band's unique blend of death metal, thrash, and industrial influences creates a sound that is both heavy and haunting. The album kicks off with the explosive track "Prototype 1," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The title track, "Dead By Dawn," is a standout, with its driving rhythm and blistering guitar riffs. The album is filled with crushing breakdowns and relentless drumming, making it a must-listen for fans of extreme metal. The vocals are guttural and aggressive, adding to the overall intensity of the music. The production is top-notch, allowing each instrument to shine while still maintaining the raw energy of the band's live performances. Prototype 1 Dead By Dawn is a strong debut from Amputee and a promising sign of what's to come from this talented band.
