Watch Them Die fulfill their name perfectly as they bludgeon the listener to death with their latest brutal effort. From beginning to end it is nonstop intensity with influences of old school thrash, hardcore and death metal. Extra props for paying tribute to the late Quorthon by covering Bathory's "Armageddon."
