This Is Death Valley have released their debut album titled "We Are The Destroyer." This album is one that really has that heavy elements to it and they are also very hard hitting. These guys know how to bring it and have fit into their local scene very well. These guys have a similar sound the that of a Suicide Silence or even a Rings Of Saturn, so if you like those artists, you could very well like this album. This album has a very dirty and raw sound to which in the recording of the album might not have been to the best possible quality, that's okay though, it works with the style. The instrumentation on the album is not band, the band shows off hints of their ability here and there. These guys can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are very deep and screamed. At times you can't even tell what the vocalist is singing about. Then they also do pig squeals which just make it even harder. The vocals are certainly brutal though which is what the band is going for. With the lyrics, the band goes on with a message of deep, dark, heavy hate and just sing brutal lyrics to fit with their style. The lyrics are certainly not bad, just not to really send a message, just to listen to. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of this album. This Is Death Valley have made a brutal metal album that will appeal to fans of heavy music and give them something they are looking for. Hopefully the band can keep this up with a little better recording quality. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
