Anger Cell are relatively newer 5 piece act. They are hailing from Finland, and continiously are in a saddle 4 years. A band are consists of previously experienced musicians, and during the 2009, they have released a first Demo.. " Haven For The Forsaken" is their second effort, and this is a CD with 4 tracks in. A Finnish fellows deliver some slower to mid up tempo death metal, influental by the 90's movement . Its sound also captures some thrashy details and classic metal idioms, less grind phrases, but mentioned 90's era is more than inspirative period for band members.
Nothing specially new, but with distant playing, solid performing harmonization, and relevant production as well. A second track " Wake Up Screaming" could be a favourable one from group's second product.
