Question are a band from Mexico that plays an occult form of death metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Doomed Passages" which was released by Chaos Records.
Drum beats and an evil old school death metal sound starts off the album along with some dark melodies and deep growls and after awhile the music speeds up a bit and blast beats are added onto the recording along with a small amount of high pitched screams.
The bass guitars have a very powerful presence on the album and the music sticks to an early 90's direction of death metal but with a more raw approach as well as bringing in a mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the guitar leads and solos enhance the darkness this music produces.
As the album progresses the music gets more dark and evil in sound while also maintaining a melodic atmosphere which dominates on the instrumental and the music ignores all of the trends in the past 20 years and the album sounds like it could of easily been released in 1992 and some of the tracks bring back the early brutal death metal sound of the mid 80's to early 90's and on some of the later tracks you can hear a small amount of blast beats being utilized and the last song is classical guitar musical piece.
Question stick to a very dark and old school form of occult death metal on this album concentrating more on darkness and heaviness than speed, blast beats or brutality as well as showing a great amount of talent and skill in the musical instruments, the production has a very raw early 90's old school sound while still being heavy and the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Philosophical themes and one of the tracks is very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Question are a very great sounding old school occult death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mournful Stench" "Grey Sorrow" and "Sea Of Black". 8/5 out of 10.
