Review

The brutal and death-obsessed Mexican trio Asesino owe more to the blues than they themselves would realize. Not every one of the thirteen tracks is a winner, but there is never a dull moment while these stories of violence and ugliness pass by. Asesino have Thin Lizzy in their blood. In 'La Ejecución;, as 'Corridos de Muerte' reaches its penultimate track, you'll be a-mazed to find the pure adrenaline of the rest of transformed into bluesy resilience. 'Yo so hombre de Diós'. Such is how frontman Maldito X says goodbye on the final track and the funny thing with a CD such as this is that you can return to the beginning of The Path of Death. Which is the literal translation of the title.
