EP Review: Boia - Chivalry Of Death


Boia - Chivalry Of Death

Caligari Records - 2017

8.5/10

Despite being around since 2013, Boia has only really put out one release, plus a few songs on a split in their entire career. Baking up some furious death metal in Italy, Chivalry Of Death shows some serious potential and makes me want them to do more. While it’s not far from the basics of the formula, they really execute things wonderfully.

Twelve minutes of songs that really reflect the South American death/thrash style that arose with Sepultura certainly show their roots. Fast riffing and blasting drums are the core ingredient, coating that with the echoing howl of harsh vocals that I wouldn’t quite call guttural. The slower break in “Rotten 666” however does shake things for the better. Nothing too original here, but very much worth the quick spin.
