ATMOSFERA FUNEBRE/GOATSKULL: ‘PARTOS ANCESTRALES’-TAPE SPLIT 2011.-
This is an alliance between the two infernal hordes, one of them is ARMOSFERA FUNEBRE that comes from Bolivia, with a powerful sound and interesting black / death metal only with a sound inspired by South American Death/black metal. Where the tracks are short but very direct and violent riffs, So perfectly done with the intense and devastating voice of BOREAS in a death metal version that gives you the necessary power to the tracks is needed. Interesting to hear a live track where the band shows why FENRIZ select to them from your list of new bands that seemed interesting. Another point is to hear the classic track IMPOSTOR from BESTIAL HOLOCAUST, touched by the true creators of the track, this version was already in the demo sung with hatred and death by BOREAS which became a classic of the band. GOATSKULL is a Mexican band that plays simple and classical black metal without innovations but not for that leave to sound acceptable and interesting the proposal as a new Mexican horde usually on this side of the continent do not hear many MEXICAN bands. The basic truth is the black metal music, without any novelty, heavily influenced by the European sound, I would have liked to hear a sound more oriented to what was done by the great Mexican bands like XYBALBA And AVZHIA, but no. It's another simple black metal band as tons more.... The tape is listenable........ 7/10
TOTEMTABU: ‘NOVENA DAS QUIMERAS’-BRA 2012-TAPE-6 TRACKS.-
Definitely the band are sounding exclusively Brazilian 80's metal and it is alive with this band, raw and insane black metal without poses or false modern rhythms. The band give us is only pure and dirty black metal, on the way of primitive NECROSCHIZMA AND BESTYMATOR, very heavy and fast times in riffs and drums but is well on the way of doom metal rhythms. The band is not technical, it's more the tape is recorded unmixed crudely done on purpose by the band to sound more underground, knowing that many miss bands like INSULTER, BESTAIL WAR, NECROFAGO, etc.. So is TOTEMTABU, a band that does not have many technical and knows how to play but for true lovers of the Brazilian sound of the 80's is the HOLY GRAIL of black / death metal (a satanic grail of course!!!). Personally I like a lot of this kind of black / death metal in their bases first choose the harshness and brutality instead of creating harmonious melodies to sound nice and please the audience. Hymns bases are made in written and performed by celebrities, lyrics and music essentially are dark & rotten. Tracks like FORCA E FUMACA and ABUTRES E SERPENTES are the perfect example of the evil chants. Good work for lovers of black / death metal Brazilian 80's ............................................................... 7.5/10
MOSHINGUN: ‘MIGHTY THRASHING METAL’-TAPE 2011-CHILE.-
Does anyone have any doubt of the quality of Chilean bands? I don't think so, since so far no any band was disappointed in quality music, concept, harmony, but the only thing that I always put in doubt is in the feeling South American, because the characteristic sound of this side of the continent is not, in general is present very little or nothing. The band goes on the way of thrash metal 80's, basically is a mix between SACRED REICH, VIOLENCE, HEATHEN with a lot of hardcore/thrash ala CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER & A.O.D in the vocals parts. Sometimes are sounding weak and others comes in perfect concept. The musical line Needless to say this is of high technical quality, the tracks are well built with many changes of rhythms, with riffs typical of the Bay Area. All tracks are well played together with very good guitar solos making it a staple in each composition. I have no doubt already of know why CHILE is having a great power in the South American thrash metal scene. The band is taking the musical career with great professionalism. The tape is of good quality and excellent choice of tracks. Good work……………………7.8/10
