Every solo is absolutely nailed and the riffs are deliciously chunky. Meanwhile, more angular and terrifying black metal moments face off to create a truly intense listen that leaves your body shaking in unholy motion. The fact of the matter is that Masaki Murashita is clearly a top notch musician and he is able to create a stunning atmosphere in a mere five songs. These are tracks that not only get your head banging but also give you incentive to dive into the pit. These riffs are made for circle pits and stage diving, and it create a sense of chaos that I really value\u2026\u201d \u2013 Two Guys Metal Reviews<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 I must say the soloing is the art of Masaki Murashita. He would succeed if he did power metal from example or technical brutal death metal, or as a solo virtuoso guitarist. He would succeed anyway. Well the bottom line is: kings are born kings, so don\u2019t waste your time and pay homage to Murashita. Now, you mortal!\u201d \u2013 Dark Souls United<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Masaki brings his lead guitar and scorching vocals back to the forefront with his solo debut and I am left completely jubilant at what I\u2019ve been listening to\u2026\u201d Rated 5\/5 \u2013 Metal Odyssey<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026There\u2019s a thrash backbone in \u201cInescapable Damnation\u201d, and Murashita has concocted riffs that not only get the adrenaline flowing and the blood pumping but also exude a sensation of grim menace \u2014 a sensation that\u2019s magnified by the ravenous ferocity of his snarling voice. But there\u2019s still more to this attention-grabbing song: It includes a guitar solo that reflects great melodic sensibility, in addition to physical dexterity; it\u2019s a reminder that memorable soloing is about more than how fast you can shred\u2026\u201d \u2013 No Clean Singing<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 The entire album contains several moments of pure technical ecstasy, while the fast paced drums and high screams give the record a pleasant heaviness. This is a very solid release, from the fast riffs on opening track \u2018Retribution\u2019 to the technical guitar solos on \u2018Conquer The Foe\u2019. Everything on the demo is of a very high quality. The production is great, the music is good and the guest musicians are handpicked with great care. \u2018Inescapable Damnation\u2019 should definitely be followed up by a full length album. Hopefully Murashita will be one of those Japanese musicians that finally makes a stand in Europe and beyond.\u201d \u2013 Lords of Metal Zine<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom start to end, very much an artistic wonder. They have something sick and unique here.\u201d<br \/>\nRated 10\/10 \u2013 Taste of Khaos<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpecting first full-length release Murashita, we have developed very high expectations after the \u201cInescapable Damnation\u201d. (Review in Greek) Rated 8.5\/10 \u2013 GreekRebels<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith outstanding guitar work, great lyrics and a complete lack of conformity to industry expectations, \u201cInescapable Damnation\u201d is a metal manifestation.\u201d \u2013 Full Metal Rock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEATH BY METAL STL recently interviewed singer\/guitarist\/engineer Masaki Murashita.
