EROTIC DEVIL WORSHIP: ‘MONDO GOAT’-CD 2014-PERU-11
TRACKS:
When I got this band, the simple cover
art did not mean enough for me, in what I’d find behind this release. It’s a
mix of sounds that took to my mind several styles of music, not precisely
metal. Perhaps cause this band achieves to mix punk, black, death, heavy or
techno wave; as in SOME CALL IT STALKING, SOME CALL IT CARING (DIARY OF A
PSYCHO GIRL), which takes the style of this music in the keyboards, turning
this CD in the most variable that I have heard. First songs, as ABSURD SELF
SATISFACTION and THE QUEEN OF WEIRD are simple black/punk n roll, in simple
style but underground sound. THE GOAT MADE ME DO IT is an hybrid of classic
punk with underground metal from 80s, without defined genre, which includes an
interesting guitar solo, which gives more complexity to the song. The music in
its metal parts has simple riffs, with a primal 80s sound, sometimes with a
HELLHAMMER touches, other times as PARABELLUM/BLASFEMIA, with simple
arrangements, but easy to follow. It includes mid tempo parts, with vocals
sometimes punk, beside simple rhythms, that made this release a cocktail of
punk/metal and rock n roll. Interesting
work……………………………………………………………………………………………………………6.3/10
ANAL
VOMIT: ‘PESTE NEGRA, MUERTE NEGRA’-PERU-CD 2015-9 TRACKS:
Latest
work of these freakish monsters of the peruvian hell. A great develop in production
and recording, it was made in ARGENTINA in a good reputed recording study and
the band has gained by far to his last production THE GATHERING PUTRID DEMONS.
From his album DEPRAVATION and DEMONIAC FLAGELATIONS that I do not have a
caught my attention, I do not want to say that others previous released has had
low points only what I heard and felt something less care. Now this work gave a
tall and power of their first albums. Musically I see a band with more mature,
but have been approached quite to the sound of SARCOFAGO and KRISIUN when the
tracks are sung in ENGLISH, the parts in blast beats and extreme power of the
insane drummer is in the line of early KRISIUN. The riffs maintain the same
fidelity that previous works, giving a turn beyond in riff work and extreme
solo´s that at time are too much in the same track. All tracks there surely get
caught you and demolish your brain with too breaks and stops. An album of the
beginning to end has been managed between in the best of Brazilian sound added
to the best of the dirty street and rotten Lima sound, it giving a work that
not only the South American bangers eaten but is more intended for the European
and North American market. Without equivocation this band is the next to leave
our borders from Perú and South America and they’ll be out to Europe
soon….great work…….8/10
NECROPHOBIC
: ‘WOMB OF LILITHU’-SWE-CD 2014-14 TRACKS.-
What can
be said about this marvelous Swedish band of death/black metal that were not
said before and with thousand of reviews around the world in the most reputed
magazines, web sites , blogs and zines , were written. So far throughout his
long career and many albums that I think it's perfect in my humble opinion by
joining to the most dark path of the Black/death metal music with riffs that
evoke to the most sinister of the underground world. This work have the precise
speed in each rhythm change reaching almost to ectasy more deepest in tracks
such as BLACK NIGHT RAVEN, it has everything that you needs, all in one Black
and death metal. No doubt, it is the trademark of this album. The tracks goes
from the classic sound of the beginning of the band to the latest album with
high doses of instrumental parts when the tracks starts, full of arpeggios,
classical parts and the speed of Swedish death metal. A masterpiece where you
would hear an album that left me perplexed everyone who hears it. Before I
write the present review I was reading some articles from others who made
reviews of this killer album, and many do not get as stressed because I do not
care, at last everyone has your own tastes and for me it is a masterpiece that
all death/black metal lovers should have in their collection. WOMB OF LILITHU starts
this wonderful album with an intro of the same tittle followed by morbid and
heavy riffs of SPLENDOUR NIGRI SOLIS, a classical Swedish sound that managed
both times, with great guitar solo´s at the middle of track something typical
of them. Simple and include very hard sounds. ASTAROTH a faster track I would
to say perfect, a perfect track to do a stage diving, its showing a lot of potential of these
demons, it catches with a mixture between NIFELHEIM and NECROPHOBIC, you can
imagine what bet on this album. FURFUR the most classical track with the
own sound of NECROPHOBIC, it includes
also some rhythms a la DARKTHRONE in their side punk, of simples riffs, raw and
heavy, a masterpiece that gives to understand that not only most elaborate
music is which has more success but which takes you to explore beyond the
usual, traveling beyond the real, what incorporates fantasies, the art means
that´s all, and So should understand this album. THE NECROMANCER and MARQUIS
PHENEX are the most classic Scandinavian sound with a lot of BATHORY and
SATYRICON in riffs and breaks, it just to make it a similar like above
mentioned bands but They do not need to copy anyone, is only a parallelism
between great bands. All tracks are originals, are worked based on NECROPHOBIC
sound wit touches what they usually are listening. Follow all other tracks is to
extend a comment that if so it is written up more than clear that is for my own
point of view..…………………………………………………………….9.2/10
ARCANUM
SANCTUM: ‘VERITAS ODIUM PARIT’-RUSSIA- CD 2012-8 TRACKS-
Stuff released a few years
of very good death metal coming from Russia. which has accustomed us to send
bands FOLK, extreme death metal or black metal, but now introduces this band of
melodic Death Metal that combines the beauty of rhythms well executed ,
harmonious riffs, fast and a very good knowledge of the scales to make some
very good guitar solo's that blend perfectly with the style they have, in turn
accompanied by some keyboard sounds. The drummer does a decent job accompanied
at all times without error to this style that is obviously not as complex drum
parts, leading the melodic rhythms with high efficiency and fast parts alike.
All tracks are if they came in solid package, they have the same housing, very
good performances with a structure of tracks which combine speed, riffs and
harmonic rhythms, sometimes extreme, and the vocals parts fitting to wonder at
the tracks which it is very common in the bands of this style that started
AMORPHIS, and that many have followed, which say just to name one of the
creators of this sound, but this band is a little farther to looks like them.
This work is made for a relaxing time for background music in a conversation. The
musicians are good and the music too………………………………………………………………..7/10
PROFANER:
‘ULTRATUMBA-PERU- EP 2014- 3 TRACKS.-
For a
long time ago this band breaks my brain, after DEATH INVOKER for me was the
best in death metal appeared in PERU few years ago, it makes this band showed
me this at the height of great hordes of true DEATH METAL 80's . And along with
DEATH INVOKER they are now the masters of this style in Peru. (Take care- I did
not leave aside MORTEM, They are the parents of that style in PERU). PROFANER
follows the guidelines of the true DEATH METAL uneventfully, No fresh sounds,
just old school morbid and insane. ULTRATUMBA is undoubtedly an excellent work,
from the beginning til end, influenced by INCANTATION / AUTOPSY / SADISTIC
INTENT / MORTEM and former SEPULTURA of BESTIAL DEVASTATION and MORBID VISIONS,
from beginning to end shows the maturity of a band that embodied in their sound
the years to hear the true school of death metal, leaving those who hear one
pleasing flavor that work is well done, as it should make no mistakes, perhaps
the only thing you could question is to improve the quality of recording, but
for my taste it sounds better is real DEATH METAL………………………….7.8/10
HEIA: ‘RITOS NOTURNOS’-BRA-CD 2014- 9 TRACKS.-
This
horde I´ve heard a few years ago on a trip to Brazil I did back in 2008 and I
had good times with his first work entitled MAGIA NEGRA have passed 9 years of
this released and certainly not passed in vain. The band has mature in sound,
musical quality, I notice that musicians are coupled, they have a single idea
to carry the flag of their sound and elevate it to a higher level. The music
has not changed much in concept BLACK METAL what has been added is the spirit
and quality in creating tracks with more rhythm changes, more variety, sometimes
they ´re mixing DEATH METAL , something like BEHEMOTH that mixes both proposals
. SOMBRAS DA IMENSIDAO is the opus that opens this good work of these evil
entities, with a wild rhythms of heavy drum beats and fast riffs, one track
well conceived with rhythm breaks in halftime. MALDADE E SUA IMPONENTE PRESENCA
follows the same way, is speed as the previous track, leaving us waiting for
more. ONDE AS TREVAS PREDOMINAM next track, is a good work riffs with breaks a
la SATYRICON. ELIZABETH BATHORY is a cover track, very well done work from TORMENTOR,
is a classic black metal. NEGRO PANDEMONIUM DE ALMAS INFERNAIS, FACE DO MAU are
tracks with great atmosphere DEATH / BLACK METAL. It's like there's a side A and
a side B on the album. A piece more black metal and death metal another part
both combinations make this work a takeoff on his career, making clear that the
following albums will be better, but before leaving this your signal in the
Brazilian scene……………………………………………………………….7/10
TOTAL
DESASTRE: ‘INFERNAL METAL ATAQUE’-BRA-CD-R PRO 2013- 8 TRACKS.-
TOTAL
DESASTRE is a band that comes from the Brasilian hell city, as they are calling
to CUIABA city. This band is a mixture of both genres, so like HARDCORE PUNK
and METAL, rooted in the current protest, anarchism and infernal chaos.
Sometimes are sounded THRASH METAL, others HARDCORE and more SPEED/THRASH with
raw and evil vocal parts, and powerful drum beats of CACHORRAO (drummer),
beating in just time of each rhythm change, going of fast time passed to mid
pace and syncopated times, accompanied with Charles and the common drum beats
of HARDCORE punk music. The sound of this work is very good to be released on
CD-r pro and you can notice the perfect communion between HARDCORE and METAL a
joined very strongly in tracks like EXTREMO CAOS, VINGANCA, GUERREIROS
DEMONIACOS, where the high points are the powerful voice of GISLENE who does
not know her name nor its genre not know who is a woman, her voice is
heartbreaking and infernal. They are leaving up to CUIABA name into the South
American scene. Good work…………………………………………………….6.7/10
RIGOR MORTIS: ‘HABEMUS DIABOLOS’ –CD 2014- 10
TRACKS-ARG:
Second album of these ARGENTINAN freakies released
after BIENVENIDAS A LA CEREMONIA álbum that signed the debut work, more focused
to Death/thrash metal and this is not far removed from debut album in the way. Where
it departs is in quality, now the band greatly improved, adding more powerful
sound and better recording quality that is by far better than previous work.
The tracks are more developed with quality of improvements, more complex riffs
and better rhythm changes, it goes from extreme Death metal to thrash guitar
riffs, take a look its only happened in the mid tempo parts. The vocals parts
are continuing in the extreme growl vocals. HABEMUS DIABOLOS is an album very
closer to the extreme Death metal a la CANNIBAL CORSE albums, it could be in
their more extreme parts and their more creative parts a la BELPHEGOR, In the
form build their rhythms and changes of style that mixes, the brutality of
extreme Death metal with the strength and speed of THRASH metal. No doubt is an
album that combines both ways in the best form, launched to this work to be
remembered as the best album of the band. 10 tracks of extreme DEATH METAL with
good thrash rhythm changes ranging from the most brutal and fast side to mid
paced, with excellent tracks as HABEMUS DIABOLOS bring lots of CANNIBAL
CORPSE/BELPHEGOR. Another great track is DENTRO DEL CEMENTERIO in their more
side a la BELPHEGOR/INCANTATION with a beginning purely Thrash metal, with
grunts and guttural vocals, all of that makes an interesting work. Is not
excellent but it have much power that it leave heard almost perfectly. The
album is sung in Spanish and it even more interesting
album…………………………………………………………..6.7/10
SMIRKING
REVENGE: ‘MIND UPLOADING’-6 TRACKS-EP DEMO 2014- CANADA:
An album
full of morbidity and obscurantism reaching to be total black metal, is rather
a DEATH/BLACK METAL mid paced and extremely heavy, it includes slow and morbid
parts, with rhythms sometimes that brings me memories to the industrial black
metal bands like KHOLD. The interesting thing about this work is when this
running in your CD player, Usb player or wherever to have this work, and did
not see the booklet you wouldn´t know that is strictly a band leadership by
females, who having a strongly union have achieved an interesting album where
is heard. From the vocals parts that combines very well with the low tunes and
the guttural typical slanted black metal. A mixture explosive in union with mid
tempo, down tempo, and morbid riffs are making of this work a delicacy of easy
digestion for addicts of new sounds and extremely heaviness. The band has
managed to capture in essence a complete and uniform album, where tracks are
conceived in the same way as a sequence, not very different one from other.
They have applied very well their influences, principally from the North
American black/Death metal and their own country, in this case CANADA. This
enjoyable album is not memorable but not for less leave to be an interesting
album for those bangers that like slow/mid/heavy/black metal
sounds………………………………………………………………………………………..7/10
VIOLENT REVOLUTION: ‘DEMO 2015’-USA-4 TRACKS:
I was expecting for a while thrash metal bands based
on the eighties roots, truly bands with high eighties spirit not merely carbon
copies or clone bands of the eighties and I can say it at last I found it. VIOLENT
REVOLUTION was born from the ashes of bands like AGENT STEEL and DÉTENTE with
these roots you can imagine the high class of musicians in the band. They plays
a mid paced THRASH true metal (I put emphasis in ‘True’ take note about it)
that made in the golden years of the Eighties. Based on short riffs with vocals
a la INSECTICIDE, M.O.D and some memories of S.O.D and DETENTE, with good
rhythm changes , sometimes technically very developed to be a CROSSOVER band,
others are focused into the true thrash way that they know how play it , There
is no way to find anything news in the air. Tracks like FINAL VOW includes
riffs a la S.O.D and vocals parts a la AT WAR/INSECTICIDE that brings me great
memories from the past to my mind, back in 1987 when I devoured all the Crossover
even Thrash too. SUDDEN DEATH is more power/thrash metal in the old way, How
should never cease to be. This band is next to record their first album and it
is a fact that will be great success. The formula of success it have them
already lived it at time, They have had good times with their previous bands
and know the music market. This demo is the best card of introduction that any
band could have. Excellent work……………………………………….…….7.8/10
FERETRUM: ‘ERA DEL HORROR’-CD-R-4 TRACKS-PERU 2016.-
Fuck!!! Some time ago that a demo will not let me with
this taste in the mouth then listen to them again and again. This band hit me
in the balls!!! I don´t know specifically if they are playing DEATH metal or THRASH metal, this can be named
only technical DEATH/THRASH metal with some vocals that from long time not
listening since of 80’s golden years. A good south american sound, singing in
Spanish in guttural way without come to extreme indeed. Where perfectly you can
understand it all the sense of the lyrics, the guitar riffs are great with drum
beats so speed that knows how get to the limit in rhythms. The guitars solo´s
are executed in solid and masterful form. Sometimes it suggest that the band
has two guitarist but the band has only one guitarist, great!!!No doubt it is a
devastating demo of this new Peruvian horde that makes will grow up to the
scene band. It is a pleasure to hear this kind of lethal Death/Thrash metal.
Four tracks without any doubt you will return to the 80's years..............................8.4/10
This band was born under
the unión of the most great icons still actives of the metal from PANAMA,
formed by band members of bands such as EQUINOXIO, CHRIS SNACKS and ENSLAVER (One of the pioneers and most bigger
bands from PANAMA). What did join to them? I Think it was passion by metal and
what better than playing basic DEATH METAL, based on old essence when it joined
to the creepy DEATH METAL riffs with GORE/GRIND, a la
NECROPHAGIA/REPULSION/CARCASS. This is a marvellous old school well played
death metal yet being a new band it kept all basic elements of these bands that
they listening when were youngers. The tracks are sounding at time raw and
evilness, dirty and crude, the composing was done thinking in the most
minimalist thing, sounding crude, morbid in each riffs, giving a sensation of
back to the oldiest 80’s years. The drum beats are powerful and keeping a mid
tempo with fast times according with any rhythm changes. Everything in this
demo is enjoyable to whose that like this kind of stuff and enjoy to listen up
true morbid and rotten death metal…………good stuff…………………………….7.5/10
SUCCUBUS: ‘ECLIPSE OF SUBTERRA’-CD 2010-GERMANY-11
TRACKS:
German band of the new wave of
death/black metal, where are mixing guttural vocals with black metal tunes and
vocals, adding the technique and variety from both schools enrichment the
music, it have often rhythm changes and a sound compelling but rather
commercial for my taste.The music is an ode to the good work, dominated by good
quality riffs with great develop of the musicians that goes in perfectly
communion in guitars with the drums and bass guitars workers. The harmonies are
very good builds, a mixture of sounds of bands such as:
AMORPHIS/HYPOCRISY/DIMMU BORGIR, that including a new offer of DEATH/BLACK
metal makes something hard to forget it to all listeners of harmonious of both
ways, which makes this work rather hard to forget for those who like the sound
more offering new death/black metal harmonious of both styles. The album
contains 11 tracks of the same way, where the most appreciate is the good recording
sound and musical quality, with mixtures of death/black metal all in one
package, (it made to attract followers). If you like the style of these bands
this work without fear of wrong is for you……………………………………………..7.5/10
MALEFICENT: ‘DEMO 2013’-CD R-CHILE-4 TRACKS+BONUS
VIDEO:
Basic black metal easy to play and easy to hear it, with a simple sound,
very primitive and where vocals parts are recorded above of the guitars sound.
The principal value could be that is sung in Spanish, this work leaves on the air
of being one of the few Chilean bands with true South American spirit, because
most of his bands have great technique, sounding great but missing South
American spirit. This band with this technical limitations have that spirit
that we needed. The music is black Nordic metal in essence, a way of sounding
riffs in the work of tracks creation with a bit of technical limitation that
makes up for all that with the spirit, and vocal strength. The tracks have a
few changes of rhythms without much power sometimes mid tempo, sometimes fast
but very simple. A band with much courage but of low quality, the important
thing is the effort that put them. The CD comes with a video that does not
leave much to do, since the quality is very low and the worst sound. …. Improve
a decent work with good intentions for the following stuff surely it would be
better..........................................................................................5.5/10
TEMPLE OF KHATARSIS: ‘ALTAR OF DEATH’-GREECE-4 TRACKS-
DIGITAL AUDIO-2016.-
This is a band always will be welcome in the
HEADBANGER pages not only for their music way that I enjoy it so much, also by
the high quality of their works, where each track comes developed in the Greek
black metal vein that inspire often bands around the world and lovers of this
genre. This work leaves us wanting to follow and continuing one more time and
more. Four tracks all developed in the same way, faster in guitar riffs that
transport us to the first works of THOU ART LORD with mid tempo changes where
the vocalist is brilliant and the guitar works are so good too. The classical
rhythms of Greek battles in honour and blood leaving everything in the
battlefield are there, incrust in their sound in each track. Fuck, it is
great!!! The incessant melodies like
knives nailed nonstop in your head, destroying every neuron in your brain.
Melodies of death showing the eternal glory of their past, it´s was done of
typical glories bands such as THOUR ART LORD, VARATHRON and the same
NECROMANTIA too. A total luxury to have this masterpiece on hands but is so
sadness when this come in digital format and it lack that piece of emotional
part of opening packages and have in your hands a physical piece of art. I
think that this work deserves the best format such as can be vinyl format. No
doubt a work rather than sensational, it seems very short with only 4 tracks
that define per only fierceness, potential and it leave you with the honey on
the lips for more and more!!!. I ‘m almost sure that Greek gods are applauding
to those greek demons to show us once again that Black metal greek is in
another level to my own taste after Brazilians, it’s the best sound in rhythms,
melodies, structure and complexity of the tracks. Cult masterpiece!!! My
favorite tracks are: A FOREST OF MYSTERIES and THE SNAKE OF CHAOS. I guess
anyone truly. Wonderful stuff…………………………………………………………………………………8.7/10
GOATTHROAT: ‘RITES OF BLASPHEMY’-CD 2015-GERMANY-10
TRACKS:
The band plays a cruel Black metal of high intensity,
of faster rhythms and heartbreaking vocals inspired by FINNISH black metal from
the beginning of the 90’s years, I´m speaking about of these bands that wrote
the best chapters of The FINNISH scene such as: BEHERIT/IMPALED NAZARENE that
mixed with one of the best acts from South America like GOATPENIS are making of
this stuff something special. All that adding melodies a bit strange a la KING
DIAMOND in keyboards parts, how is the first track that opens this work titled
EVOKATION, and give a way to sound beastly, evoking to the oldiest FINNISH
black metal sound and mixing with the most morbid side of German death metal.
Mainly the band has a primitive sound, easy rhythms to play and nothing
memorable only strength and power. Something to rescue of this work maybe it
would be the sincerity of the musicians to provide up to where knowledge
arrives with great quality and accuracy of easy rhythms to offer us the best of
simplicity……………………………………………………………………..…7/10
SOLEMNE MORTIS: ‘SOLEMNE MORTIS’-CD 10
TRACKS-COLOMBIA:
the band looks like to offered by AVZHIA from MEXICO,
they are playing the same black metal way, led by harmonics in the choirds, mid
tempo melodies overload shared with fast parts, without arriving to be ultra
fast, the harsh vocals parts are sung in high intensity, the music is developed
over a solid bases, full of melodies including a lot of technique. The tracks
are written all in the same way, because all of them have the same technique,
something predictable but it turning to trademark of the band. Also you can hearing
in some tracks based upon the NORDIC BLACK METAL, specially in the music of
WATAIN demons, making of this work one of the best I’ve heard in the present
year and it came out from COLOMBIA. Great success of the TRIBULACION RECORDS to
released and put it in stock to this enjoyable stuff of intense , bestial and
harmonious black metal. The best tracks is THE EVE both by speed and intensity
that made me reminds me to the WATAIN. Awesome album……………………………………..7.5/10
DEATHKULT: ‘BEYOND THE FLESH’-CD 2014-COLOMBIA-10
TRACKS:
Fuck!! Damn it!! It’s only extreme DEATH METAL
motherfuckers. It brings me to my memories some passages of others bands that
to my own taste could be named like cult bands as MORGOTH and BRUTAL TRUTH
maybe CARCASS too. It has all the potential of these above mentioned bands and
it’s a great success of TRIBULACION record label in put attention in this band
that I haven´t doubt will become one of the best acts from South American DEATH
METAL pillars sonly. This band has everything that you ´re looking for in a
death metal band, based on old glories of extreme death metal, of intense and
unstopping riffs, sometimes it turns to heavy metal, some morbid , other
extremely gore but all carried out with hardest and cleaning, an exquisite
technique at the moment to join the guitar solo´s and drum parts. Simple
extreme DEATH METAL it will eat your brain. Great stuff
………………………………………………………………………………………...8/10
HATERAIN: ‘FIRE AT WILL’-CD 2013- 9 TRACKS-GREECE:
I´ve got this album by
exchange, it happened because I´m fan of
the GREEK sound and I supposed it would be a mix of BLACK/DEATH metal even
THRASH metal to the old sound of Greek beasts as FLAMES, but only was a dream I
do not to say I´m disappointed because is not true. The band are excellent
musicians, they have high grade of professionalism, very competent band
speaking about musical quality of rhythms that have put in each track it
includes also to guitar riffs that reminds me a little to DEATH COURIER, mixed
with some HEAVY metal touches as WHERE I DREAM
track, it have something like SPEED and FRENCH heavy metal, getting back
to the 80’s years through some passages of NWOBHM. Other tracks are going more
to the GREEK sound of the above mentioned bands, others have a good develop in
their instrumental parts with a lot of good development of musicians, where
they offer us their qualities in all tracks. I still can’t define the style truly, Where they want
to go or to be, because it is a mixture of several ways. Truly they are good
musicians and if you are a lover of HEAVY/SPEED with some of Greek touches of
early 90’s years, this work is definitely for you, as it is for me too
(hehheh-ed). There is no tired to hear it and it keeps the spirit by whole
album………………………………………7.2/10
CREPUSCULO DOS IDOLOS: ‘TOTH’-BRASIL-CD 2010-8 TRACKS:
This released is something older not for that leaves
to be interesting and deserves all attention by those addicted by the black
metal. The band brings me some memories to the first albums of LUXURIA DE
LILITH, another band came out from BRASIL. Where to prioritize works loaded of
gloomy melodies, full of synths and guitars working so hard, with mid tempo
rhythms that turns fast when needs, of candence rhythms and sharp harmonies of
high energy, it contains extreme sounds of deep darkness. Sometimes are
sounding a la LUXURIA DE LILITH mixed with DIMMU BORGIR of the first albums.
Musically it could be named as BLACK METAL OPERA obviously only speaking on the
musical side. The guitar player has done a great work in the concept and structure
of the tracks that together with an excellent keyboards have created tracks
such as: MAGO, VOLUPIA, AEON among others that it make of this CD a little
masterpiece of symphonic Black metal. Its ideal for lovers of this kind of
style and they´re strongly urged to get it now. Sincerely I hear it many times
and I´m not tired. Great stuff……………………8/10
TROLLFASTHEART: ‘ WHAT? I AN OLD POT FOR ALL’-CD-SPAIN-8
TRACKS-2014:
Very interesting proposal of this entity of evil
called KADGAR, where he evokes to the most pure spirit of BLACK/PUNK metal in
their music. Sometimes also is combining with simple ROCK’N ROLL, others are
joined with simples PUNK rhythms including black metal vocals, other are simple
Black metal with vocals in dark/Black metal way, other a mixture of both and
just that it makes so interesting. Usually bands like that have a low musical
level but it’s something different, I think that it is the proposal of KADGAR
make a decent work, principally speaking over the tracks structures and
concept, worked thinking about catching many listeners of different genres and
offers tracks rich in rhythms and sounds, something unusual in the mainly of
Black metal bands. A work that deserves to have the ears clean to listen at up
volume this good proposal…………………………………………………………….7.2/10
ICEPRESSIVE: ‘HIDDEN’-CD-R DIGIPACK 2012-
Fast black metal based on the NORWEGIAN sound, very
influenced by MAYHEM. Specially in the fast parts. Technically sounds very
profesional with excellent rhythm changes, is not original but it have a good
level. The vocalist is inspired by ATTILA, in order everything in this work is
inspired under the shadow of MAYHEM. At twice is modern maybe is by fact to
give anything innovation. The tracks have their doses of speed, breaks, only a
few guitar solo´s are there and have a decent drum work too. From the beginning
to finnish can you listen up without stopping, runs simple and is a quite
digestible, unoriginal stuff but is a good work at least. Musically at time it
comes to saturate in the vocal parts but the whole album goes well. The
production is very good in digipack version, with a good booklet , despite that
is a CD-R sikscreen version. Good recording sound and musically is ok………………………………………………………………………………………7/10
