..::OPIS::..

Prawdę mówiąc, tym, co przyciągnęło mnie do 'Kopár hant…az alvilág felé', była okładka z czterema wiktoriańskimi tragarzami niosącymi trumnę do oświetlonej od wewnątrz krypty pośród szarej (jak sobie wyobrażam), deszczowej nocy.
Nie ma tutaj niczego wybijającego się. Absolutnie niczego!
To dzieło zaprojektowane tak, by brzmieć spójnie i z klasą.

Jeśli lubisz death/doom metal grany w całkowicie złowieszczym, ciężkim i mrocznym stylu, ten album jest dla Ciebie.

ROTHADÁS's highly anticipated debut album “Kopár hant... az alvilág felél”.

Hailing from Hungary and proudly performing in their mother tongue, ROTHADÁS made their public debut in 2019 with a self-titled demo tape for ME SACO UN OJO. A two-song work totaling 16 minutes, Rothadás suggested - and strongly - that the selfsame band had a staunchly ancient-minded vision of death metal but by no means were blinkered by the past. Perhaps this unique dichotomy is down to ROTHADÁS being a self-contained duo of vocalist/drummer Lambert Lédeczy and guitarist/bassist Tibor Hanyi - both men equally prolific veterans of the underground, and both concurrently playing in labelmates CRYPTWORM among others.

Now, at last do the duo unveil their debut album, Kopár hant... az alvilág felé. Here, ROTHADÁS erect an eerily shimmering monument of slimy, oft-doomy DEATH METAL: for maniacs, by maniacs, young and old and everyone in between. Armed with an absolutely crushing production, the band's first full-length betrays an eternal wisdom by maximizing the basics as well as nodding to various eras and locales of death metal but only subtly - immersion rather than extraction, and addition by subtraction, tastefully so in both regards. As each of these five lumbering/lunging hulks of dread-inducing sound effortlessly morph into myriad shapes, each one as ghastly and grotesque as the last, it slowly begins to dawn on the listener than Kopár hant... az alvilág felé retains a runtime of 44 minutes: truly, an experience that is EPIC - as ever, tastefully and subtly so - rather "epic" in shameless overstatement. Further, ROTHADÁS' native Hungarian helps lend another sublime layer of the unique to what is arguably the year's best dark-horse death metal recording...recognize or regret!



Wasting no time on a vapid introduction, the gloomy riffs and cavernous boom of drums drops us head-first into a dismal and dreary cacophony of doom-death metal magnificence. The malicious and spectral atmospherics are suffocating and certainly easy to become intoxicated by. The crestfallen sound of charnel guitars soon gives way to an onslaught of blast beat insanity and cascading riffs that launch into a venomous aggression that is equally as gratifying as the slower moments, it is in these early moments that a revelation occurs, this album will truly stand out among the crowd. Marching into oblivion with a glorious mix of transcendent eeriness and outright brutality, the blend here is perfect. Immediately bands like Spectral Voice and Krypts come to mind, but that is not to say Rothadás necessarily sound like either, for they have a darkness of their own that is equally intense and foreboding. Eldritch soundscapes are certainly coming out in full display on this wonderful opus, but what lies ahead is shrouded in mystique.

A swirling tide of murky and creepy guitars ebbs and flows atop crashing waves of cymbals to give us this sense of almost meditative reflection. These moments give the album a morbidly resplendent feeling before launching death metal artillery of epic proportions that destroys any feelings of tranquility with sheer savagery and expansive riffing that liquefies the brain without remorse. The reverberate vocals echo in a monstrous manner, rolling atop the instrumentals with unmistakable power and fantastic delivery that suits the extensive, sweeping production that comprehensively showcases all of the nuance and musical abilities of the duo while not relying on anything but high quality songwriting and atmospheric conjurations of abyssal unearthliness. With a development between the songs that works to grandiose effect over the course of the album, these 5 pieces make a whole, indeed one of cataclysmic scope while being very enjoyable in their segments. The entire piece is a monumental affair that must be examined and heard with tentative ears and an open mind to receive a transporting experience of death metal totality.

Daunting and malevolent, this album is a near-perfect example of death-doom metal that does not fall to their trappings of either genre, allowing the fusion to enhance their sound rather than becoming too reliant on repetition. Expansive riffing and diverse drums meet cavernously snarled vocals to deliver a crushing, monolithic and unrelenting storm of death metal with inarguably powerful atmospherics. A potent concoction of unforgettable and haunting music that brings spectral sorrow and warped visions into thunderous death metal without sacrificing any of the heaviness. Funereal, brutal and impactful in equal measure.

..::OPIS::..

To bez wątpienia jedna z najlepszych undergroundowych płyt z 2010 roku.

To około 36 minut bezkompromisowego, miażdżącego uderzenia, bezmyślnego łomotu i porywających, trzaskających partii, ekstremalnego tempa, ekstremalnego spowolnienia, ekstremalnego 'wokalu', generalnie ekstremalnej muzyki - nie wspominając o ekstremalnych tekstach. Oczywiście nie jest to płyta dla elit!


Brutal Death Metal / Grincore feat. members and ex-members of ASPHYX, SINISTER, GOD DETHRONED, CLITEATER...Don’t expect anything else than more than 30 minutes of pure perdition!!!!

Inhume makes Brutal Death Metal in combination with Grind Core elements.
Deep, low grunting vocals over a hyperactive drum section with screaming vocals to keep it all in balance.
Guitars are there to sharpen and fasten it, but it is to say that in some points they disappear quite a bit. Mainly when vocals come to the foreground the rest of it seems to be gone.
The music that the band brings comes raw and cold, full of filth and a true listener of this band had not expected any difference.
Some tempo changes here and there bring some variation and this speaks for the band.
Inhume ain’t pussies and after all these years the band shows that it knows how to make a serious album and stick to what they do, not modernize it too much.
If you can stand the 14-track lasting brutality depends how much you can handle extremes.

Don’t expect anything else than more than 30 minutes of pure perdition.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Myślałem, że ten twór z Pensylwanii już dawno poszedł w piach. Ritual Mass na przestrzeni ostatniej dekady dał się poznać deathmetalowemu undergroundowi kilkoma mniejszymi wydawnictwami, które odbiły się niemałym echem. Część tych nagrań ukazała się w formie kompilacji „It Ever Turns” wydanej przed trzema laty przez Memento Mori Records.

Teraz ekipa z Pittsburgha atakuje dość niespodziewanie debiutanckim pełniakiem w barwach 20 Buck Spin i od razu trzeba przyznać, że jest to wydawnictwo, z którym warto się poznać. „Cascading Misery” to krok naprzód w muzycznym rozwoju Ritual Mass, zwłaszcza pod kątem kompozytorskim. To już nie jest podziemna, jaskiniowa, kipiąca wściekłością masa dźwięku. Tutaj są riffy, są świetne zwolnienia, jadowite przyspieszenia i zwarte, acz szalone sola przywodzące na myśl braci Hoffman. W dalszym ciągu punktem wyjścia wydaje się tutaj być twórczość Incantation, ale ekipa z północnego wschodu USA wykazuje na swym premierowym długograju więcej niż dotychczas odwołań do bardziej klasycznego, deathmetalowego grania. Słuchając tego materiału kilkukrotnie miałem skojarzenia z Ingivomous, które także w prostej linii gdzieś inspiruje się ekipą Johna McEntee, ale z każdym kolejnym wydawnictwem odchodziło od gęstej smolistości wplatając coraz więcej morbidangelowych motywów. I tak też odbieram „Cascading Misery” od strony instrumentalnej – to kawał bardzo dobre zagranego i napisanego metalu śmierci, opakowanego w naprawdę mocne brzmienie. Schody z tym materiałem zaczynają się dla mnie w momencie, gdy pojawiają się wokale. W tej materii nie zmieniło się nic i mamy jaskinię z toną najebanego pogłosu. Nazywając rzecz po imieniu – kompletnie one nie pasują do wygrywanych tutaj dźwięków i najzwyczajniej w świecie nie podobają mi się. Ritual Mass w każdym innym aspekcie poszedł za mocno do przodu, aby zostawić partie wokale takie jakimi były. Traci na tym całe „Cascading Misery”, które z innymi wokalami mogłoby być jeszcze bardziej dynamiczne, szalone, miałoby w ręku kolejny atrybut podkreślający błysk, który niewątpliwie w tym zespole tkwi.

Wierzę, że póki co jest to etap przejściowy i na kolejnym wydawnictwie Ci kolesie pójdą na całego i dojebią do pieca na całego nie zostawiając jednej nogi w bagnie. Tak czy owak polecam.

The debut full length album from Pittsburgh’s Ritual Mass is more than a collection of songs, it’s a series of calculated assaults on the virtue of the holy. Evolving beyond earlier EP and demo releases, ‘Cascading Misery’, encapsulates the bludgeoning infliction of pain and the slow peel of skin by flame, rife with both sonic chaos and extinguished hope.

From the outset of album opener ‘Obsidian Mirror’ the atmosphere is oppressive, thick with a suffocating malaise. There is a sense of something ceremonial at work but not in a way that seeks communion. Rather it’s ordeal as sacrament. Riffs strangle and churn into convulsive submission, oscillating from slow agony to psychotic break, over which a guttural lament so savage it freezes the blood is wrenched through dungeon stone. Each track unfolds like time spent in isolation, bound by chains, the mind slowly unraveling and surrounded by memories of torment both real and imagined.

By the time the epic 14-minute album closer ‘Disquiet’ dissipates into a mass of formless static Ritual Mass have dragged you into a world where suffering is not an end but a condition of existence. ‘Cascading Misery’ is music for the dissolution of hope, the terror of being, and the long march toward death.

Mawiza to zespół metalowy z Chile wywodzący się z kultury Mapuche. Początkowo założony w 2014 roku pod nazwą Nunca Seremos Dichosos, wydał dwa albumy: Tierra (2017) oraz Kollong (2019). Później album Kollong został ponownie wydany już pod nową nazwą Mawiza, z wokalami nagranymi całkowicie w języku mapuzungun, zamiast wcześniejszej mieszanki hiszpańskiego i mapuzungun. Od momentu przyjęcia nazwy Mawiza zespół konsekwentnie tworzy całą swoją twórczość wyłącznie w języku mapuzungun, podkreślając tym samym swoją tożsamość kulturową i muzyczną. Wydali dwie płyty.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Tak sobie czasem myślę, że chyba najłatwiej tworzyć wariacje na tematy warmetalowe. Nieco więcej umiejętności wymaga kultywowanie oldskulowych tradycji deathmetalowych, czy to o szwedzkim, czy amerykańskim rodowodzie. Ale, powiedzcie sami, ile jest zespołów, które na najwyższym światowym poziomie potrafią tworzyć muzykę opartą o spuściznę mistrzów grania technicznego i progresywnego? Relatywnie niewiele.

Debiutem rodzimego Species mocno się swego czasu zachwycałem, mimo, iż nie jest to do końca moje granie. To był taki wyjątek od reguły. Za chwilę panowie wracają z albumem numer dwa, a wiadomo, że po płycie pokroju „To Find Deliverance” poprzeczka ustawiona została niebywale wysoko. Mówi się, że muzyka to nie zawody, a mimo to zawsze jednak gdzieś tam porównujemy, ustawiamy w hierarchii i tak dalej. „Changeling” jest płytą nieco inną, co w przypadku tego zespołu było dla mnie oczywiste zanim jeszcze ją po raz pierwszy włączyłem. Chłopaki są bowiem zbyt ambitni by dreptać w miejscu. Nie powiem, by „Changelings” mnie specjalnie zaskoczył. Spodziewałem się jeszcze większego nacisku na granie progresywne, i dokładnie w tym kierunku Species skręcili. Mniej zatem w nowych kompozycjach pierwiastka thrashowego, więcej nawiązań do wczesnego Cynic, Atheist czy późnego Death. Na płycie tej nie ma w zasadzie klasycznych struktur w temacie zwrotka / refren. Muzyka płynie sobie tylko chcianym nurtem, co chwilę skręcając w bok, lawirując między pomysłami, których jest tu wystarczająco dużo, by obdzielić nimi przynajmniej pięć innych albumów. Przy pierwszym podejściu do „Changelings” można się mocno zdziwić i niejednokrotnie stracić wątek. Nie jest to jednak, jak wielu z was zapewne w tym momencie podejrzewa, muzyczny onanizm. Po kilku rundkach wszystkie te łamańce zaczynają się krystalizować w głowie, i układać w niezwykle zróżnicowaną i mocno malowniczą całość. Niezaprzeczalnie dzieje się tak dzięki wyjątkowym umiejętnościom technicznym muzyków, którzy w bardzo dojrzały sposób łączą ze sobą elementy technicznego death, technicznego thrashu, czy nawet jazzu, jednocześnie zachowując, może nieco schowaną w tle, ale jednak, drapieżność. Co ciekawe, słuchając tych piosenek można odnieść wrażenie, że każda z nich jest inna, każda ma swój własny charakter. A mimo to wszystkie zazębiają się i wzajemnie uzupełniają. Mocno chłopaki tu pokombinowali, oj mocno, także pod względem strukturalnym, nie stroniąc choćby od świetnego instrumentala „Voyager”, po dziesięciominutowego kolosa „Biological Masterpiece” na zakończenie. Wydaje mi się, że nagrali go celowo, trochę by pokazać, że potrafią. I faktycznie, potrafią! Jeden eksperyment im się co prawda nie udał, bo w „Waves of Time” pojawiają się czyste, śpiewane wokale, które działają na mnie niczym płachta na byka, i najchętniej bym je wyjebał w pizdu, ale w ogólnym rozrachunku jakoś można tego babola przełknąć.

Materiał ten, podobnie jak w przypadku debiutu, brzmi fantastycznie, a nisko plumkający, jednocześnie wyraźnie słyszalny bas, robi mega robotę. Czuć w tej muzyce nieczęsto spotykany klimat, czuć szczerość, i nawet jeśli chwilami słyszymy tu bardzo wyraźne nawiązania do wspomnianego „Focus” czy „Sounds of Perseverance”, to jest to raczej rozwinięcie myśli autorów owych klasyków niż bezczelne naśladownictwo. Po raz kolejny jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem. Powiem więcej. Uważam, że obecnie na krajowej scenie w rzeczonym gatunku panowie nie mają sobie równych, a i w skali światowej prezentują poziom najwyższej półki. Ode mnie oklaski na stojąco!

The first album from unconventional Polish power trio Species, ‘To Find Deliverance’, leveled us with its rare blend of technical thrash prowess and unorthodox but highly inspired songwriting, enough to make our best of 2022 album list. Out of that list a collaboration was born and now Species make their 20 Buck Spin debut with second album ‘Changelings’.

A step up in every regard, ‘Changelings’ is astonishing in its accomplished precision and how much it manages to achieve within the scope of individual tracks and as a cohesive whole. The album features an overload of angular guitar warfare, traditional Euro-thrash aggression with a modern resonance, rhythmic percussive seizures, and intricate basslines that make their intention deeply felt, not just following the guitar but dialoguing with it in a way that offers a second melodic brain to the album. In combination these elements thread seamlessly to give ‘Changelings’ its colorful and uncanny vision, as if John Carpenter had co-produced ‘Rust In Peace’ behind the iron curtain. It’s bristling with sci-fi paranoia, alien terror and a hint of Cold War menace. The early convergence of Thrash Metal with Death Metal is also unmistakably present in the shape-shifting sound of Species.

While there’s more than enough primitive and traditional Thrash bands to go around, Species embraces the genre’s lesser-travelled road of forward-thinking virtuosity and inventive experimentation, showing there’s still plenty of fertile ground to seed new musical territory. Nowhere is it more apparent than on 10-minute album closer ‘Biological Masterpiece’, where Species displays all its weapons; hyperspeed assaults, dystopian lulls and instrumental mastery, in a climatic saga beyond space and time. “Changelings” is that rare album nowadays that still has the ability to surprise in the most triumphant and euphoric way possible.




I’ve considered myself a Thrash Disliker for quite a while. Perhaps it was seeing so many local openers in SoCal that seemed to go by the mantra of “Hey, remember that riff from the ’80s? No, the shitty one”, the implosion of a certain Arizona band (and rightfully so) that I once loved, or maybe just the genre itself actually getting stale on the whole. A couple albums this year are forcing me to completely rethink my writing off of thrash, the latest of which comes from the Polish three-piece Species. These Warsaw sci-fi fanatics have crafted a sophomore album that is not just technically proficient, well-written, and keeps the listener on their toes at all times, but is fun as hell from start to finish. This is Changelings.

Even though I’m one to rarely gloss over an upcoming 20 Buck Spin release, Changelings felt special right from the get-go with first single “The Essence.” The syncopated riffs that transform bit by bit — shifting rhythms throughout, even if it’s a single extra beat or note thrown in — the prominent bass that doesn’t just mirror the guitars but often complements them with bright fills and melodic lines, the understated drum performance that anchors the entirety of the sound with a similarly wide ranging display of moods; manic thrash skank beats, classic metal rhythms, softer jazz fusion-inspired moments, and more. This three-and-a-half minute tease proved to be a perfect window into the rest of what Species has to offer on this album.

One of my favorite aspects of Changelings is the stripped-down nature of the entire production package; it certainly doesn’t feel like lo-fi or akin to a demo, but doesn’t fall into the overproduced wall of sound trap that a lot of “modern” metal seems to be falling into. This shines through especially in how the instruments themselves are tracked. Almost without exception, whenever the guitar is soloing there’s no rhythm guitar; not only does this allow the fantastic performance of vocalist/bassist Piotr Drobina to shine through, it gives the sound a much more authentic feel, like it’s just three guys jamming together in a rehearsal space. And speaking of guitar solos, Michał Kępka has no shortage of them… and they all kick ass. From the neoclassical flourishes in the arpeggiated guitar sweeps that often characterize both solo and riff (“Inspirit Creation”) to the clear ear for melodicism (likely another factor in why this album clicks for me so well), Changelings takes me back to the high school days when I was addicted to the guitar wizardry of Rust in Peace and Hatebreeder.

As good as Species are at tech thrash this is very much a progressive metal album as well, with most songs featuring a softer, jazz fusion-inspired section that sees the band exploring even broader horizons. There’s clear echoes of Rush in the instrumental “Voyager” in both the “Xanadu”-esque guitar effects or the “Strangiato” hi-hat roll that kicks off the heavier section of the track. And like that legendary Canadian power trio, this power trio — as incredibly proficient as they are at their respective instruments — never feel like they’re showing off too much, or feeling too self-serious about both their music and lyrical themes. “Born of Stitch and Flesh” opens with a scream of “it’s alive!!!” after all; Species aren’t afraid to have fun in addition to all the complex music. In classic prog fashion the album closes with its longest track, the 10-minute barnburner “Biological Masterpiece” whose tremendous finale reaches for the cosmos in a manner not unlike just Absolute Elsewhere, but the opus of the fallen sci-fi thrash legends I mentioned in the introduction; few songs this year have gotten me as pumped as this one does. My only critique of this song is that it contains the best riff on the entire album, but it’s only played a few times! That just makes the anticipation even more special upon every relisten.

Whether you’re a seasoned thrash veteran or a lapsed fan like myself, I find it hard to believe that you’ll find much to dislike about Changelings. Impressive tech thrash and softer prog elements co-exist in great harmony, all wrapped up in a sci-fi package that doesn’t forget to have fun at the end of the day. Thank you to Species for reminding me that great thrash metal is still possible in 2025.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...


..::OPIS::..

Tak sobie czasem myślę, że chyba najłatwiej tworzyć wariacje na tematy warmetalowe. Nieco więcej umiejętności wymaga kultywowanie oldskulowych tradycji deathmetalowych, czy to o szwedzkim, czy amerykańskim rodowodzie. Ale, powiedzcie sami, ile jest zespołów, które na najwyższym światowym poziomie potrafią tworzyć muzykę opartą o spuściznę mistrzów grania technicznego i progresywnego? Relatywnie niewiele.

Debiutem rodzimego Species mocno się swego czasu zachwycałem, mimo, iż nie jest to do końca moje granie. To był taki wyjątek od reguły. Za chwilę panowie wracają z albumem numer dwa, a wiadomo, że po płycie pokroju „To Find Deliverance” poprzeczka ustawiona została niebywale wysoko. Mówi się, że muzyka to nie zawody, a mimo to zawsze jednak gdzieś tam porównujemy, ustawiamy w hierarchii i tak dalej. „Changeling” jest płytą nieco inną, co w przypadku tego zespołu było dla mnie oczywiste zanim jeszcze ją po raz pierwszy włączyłem. Chłopaki są bowiem zbyt ambitni by dreptać w miejscu. Nie powiem, by „Changelings” mnie specjalnie zaskoczył. Spodziewałem się jeszcze większego nacisku na granie progresywne, i dokładnie w tym kierunku Species skręcili. Mniej zatem w nowych kompozycjach pierwiastka thrashowego, więcej nawiązań do wczesnego Cynic, Atheist czy późnego Death. Na płycie tej nie ma w zasadzie klasycznych struktur w temacie zwrotka / refren. Muzyka płynie sobie tylko chcianym nurtem, co chwilę skręcając w bok, lawirując między pomysłami, których jest tu wystarczająco dużo, by obdzielić nimi przynajmniej pięć innych albumów. Przy pierwszym podejściu do „Changelings” można się mocno zdziwić i niejednokrotnie stracić wątek. Nie jest to jednak, jak wielu z was zapewne w tym momencie podejrzewa, muzyczny onanizm. Po kilku rundkach wszystkie te łamańce zaczynają się krystalizować w głowie, i układać w niezwykle zróżnicowaną i mocno malowniczą całość. Niezaprzeczalnie dzieje się tak dzięki wyjątkowym umiejętnościom technicznym muzyków, którzy w bardzo dojrzały sposób łączą ze sobą elementy technicznego death, technicznego thrashu, czy nawet jazzu, jednocześnie zachowując, może nieco schowaną w tle, ale jednak, drapieżność. Co ciekawe, słuchając tych piosenek można odnieść wrażenie, że każda z nich jest inna, każda ma swój własny charakter. A mimo to wszystkie zazębiają się i wzajemnie uzupełniają. Mocno chłopaki tu pokombinowali, oj mocno, także pod względem strukturalnym, nie stroniąc choćby od świetnego instrumentala „Voyager”, po dziesięciominutowego kolosa „Biological Masterpiece” na zakończenie. Wydaje mi się, że nagrali go celowo, trochę by pokazać, że potrafią. I faktycznie, potrafią! Jeden eksperyment im się co prawda nie udał, bo w „Waves of Time” pojawiają się czyste, śpiewane wokale, które działają na mnie niczym płachta na byka, i najchętniej bym je wyjebał w pizdu, ale w ogólnym rozrachunku jakoś można tego babola przełknąć.

Materiał ten, podobnie jak w przypadku debiutu, brzmi fantastycznie, a nisko plumkający, jednocześnie wyraźnie słyszalny bas, robi mega robotę. Czuć w tej muzyce nieczęsto spotykany klimat, czuć szczerość, i nawet jeśli chwilami słyszymy tu bardzo wyraźne nawiązania do wspomnianego „Focus” czy „Sounds of Perseverance”, to jest to raczej rozwinięcie myśli autorów owych klasyków niż bezczelne naśladownictwo. Po raz kolejny jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem. Powiem więcej. Uważam, że obecnie na krajowej scenie w rzeczonym gatunku panowie nie mają sobie równych, a i w skali światowej prezentują poziom najwyższej półki. Ode mnie oklaski na stojąco!

The first album from unconventional Polish power trio Species, ‘To Find Deliverance’, leveled us with its rare blend of technical thrash prowess and unorthodox but highly inspired songwriting, enough to make our best of 2022 album list. Out of that list a collaboration was born and now Species make their 20 Buck Spin debut with second album ‘Changelings’.

A step up in every regard, ‘Changelings’ is astonishing in its accomplished precision and how much it manages to achieve within the scope of individual tracks and as a cohesive whole. The album features an overload of angular guitar warfare, traditional Euro-thrash aggression with a modern resonance, rhythmic percussive seizures, and intricate basslines that make their intention deeply felt, not just following the guitar but dialoguing with it in a way that offers a second melodic brain to the album. In combination these elements thread seamlessly to give ‘Changelings’ its colorful and uncanny vision, as if John Carpenter had co-produced ‘Rust In Peace’ behind the iron curtain. It’s bristling with sci-fi paranoia, alien terror and a hint of Cold War menace. The early convergence of Thrash Metal with Death Metal is also unmistakably present in the shape-shifting sound of Species.

While there’s more than enough primitive and traditional Thrash bands to go around, Species embraces the genre’s lesser-travelled road of forward-thinking virtuosity and inventive experimentation, showing there’s still plenty of fertile ground to seed new musical territory. Nowhere is it more apparent than on 10-minute album closer ‘Biological Masterpiece’, where Species displays all its weapons; hyperspeed assaults, dystopian lulls and instrumental mastery, in a climatic saga beyond space and time. “Changelings” is that rare album nowadays that still has the ability to surprise in the most triumphant and euphoric way possible.




I’ve considered myself a Thrash Disliker for quite a while. Perhaps it was seeing so many local openers in SoCal that seemed to go by the mantra of “Hey, remember that riff from the ’80s? No, the shitty one”, the implosion of a certain Arizona band (and rightfully so) that I once loved, or maybe just the genre itself actually getting stale on the whole. A couple albums this year are forcing me to completely rethink my writing off of thrash, the latest of which comes from the Polish three-piece Species. These Warsaw sci-fi fanatics have crafted a sophomore album that is not just technically proficient, well-written, and keeps the listener on their toes at all times, but is fun as hell from start to finish. This is Changelings.

Even though I’m one to rarely gloss over an upcoming 20 Buck Spin release, Changelings felt special right from the get-go with first single “The Essence.” The syncopated riffs that transform bit by bit — shifting rhythms throughout, even if it’s a single extra beat or note thrown in — the prominent bass that doesn’t just mirror the guitars but often complements them with bright fills and melodic lines, the understated drum performance that anchors the entirety of the sound with a similarly wide ranging display of moods; manic thrash skank beats, classic metal rhythms, softer jazz fusion-inspired moments, and more. This three-and-a-half minute tease proved to be a perfect window into the rest of what Species has to offer on this album.

One of my favorite aspects of Changelings is the stripped-down nature of the entire production package; it certainly doesn’t feel like lo-fi or akin to a demo, but doesn’t fall into the overproduced wall of sound trap that a lot of “modern” metal seems to be falling into. This shines through especially in how the instruments themselves are tracked. Almost without exception, whenever the guitar is soloing there’s no rhythm guitar; not only does this allow the fantastic performance of vocalist/bassist Piotr Drobina to shine through, it gives the sound a much more authentic feel, like it’s just three guys jamming together in a rehearsal space. And speaking of guitar solos, Michał Kępka has no shortage of them… and they all kick ass. From the neoclassical flourishes in the arpeggiated guitar sweeps that often characterize both solo and riff (“Inspirit Creation”) to the clear ear for melodicism (likely another factor in why this album clicks for me so well), Changelings takes me back to the high school days when I was addicted to the guitar wizardry of Rust in Peace and Hatebreeder.

As good as Species are at tech thrash this is very much a progressive metal album as well, with most songs featuring a softer, jazz fusion-inspired section that sees the band exploring even broader horizons. There’s clear echoes of Rush in the instrumental “Voyager” in both the “Xanadu”-esque guitar effects or the “Strangiato” hi-hat roll that kicks off the heavier section of the track. And like that legendary Canadian power trio, this power trio — as incredibly proficient as they are at their respective instruments — never feel like they’re showing off too much, or feeling too self-serious about both their music and lyrical themes. “Born of Stitch and Flesh” opens with a scream of “it’s alive!!!” after all; Species aren’t afraid to have fun in addition to all the complex music. In classic prog fashion the album closes with its longest track, the 10-minute barnburner “Biological Masterpiece” whose tremendous finale reaches for the cosmos in a manner not unlike just Absolute Elsewhere, but the opus of the fallen sci-fi thrash legends I mentioned in the introduction; few songs this year have gotten me as pumped as this one does.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...



Obrzydliwy, brutalny... idealny!!!


..::OPIS::..

Emanating as if from the foul-smelling, poisoned swamps, the music of debutants Viande will make you claw at your throat, enveloping you in suffocating darkness, and before you know it, it will have on your knees gasping for air, with a blood-stained bag on your head. Soon enough the clobbering begins in pitch black darkness and amidst the mind-numbing cacophony, with eerie sounds ringing about, one thing becomes clear - there are stranger, darker forces involved here. More than just another dark death metal band, Viande are conjuring up different sounds and atmospheric elements to create a truly terrifying form of death metal, one that doesn't wallow in misery for too long and is more content bashing skulls in. The full length remains an amorphous exercise in darkness, be it with the use of bestial-sounding primordial catharsis, harrowing doom-laden passages, or just their own kind of unsettling industrial ambience, they're on to something and it transcends mere Incantation-worship. L'abime dévore les âmes is an accomplished debut with soul-scarring qualities.

For fans of - Incantation, Cruciamentum, Portal, Dead Congregation, Vacivus, Teitanblood, Fossilization, Gateway




Many of us know, I guess, that moment of extreme disappointment when you unwrap a prime steak you’ve been looking forward to, only to be greeted by the putrid smell of gone-off meat. “It makes no sense, I only bought the fucking thing yesterday,” you mutter darkly to yourself. That steak should have been good for another couple of days at least. “How could this have happened? Why did it have to happen to me and why today?” I can’t answer any of those questions—quite frankly, I have my own problems—but that foul whiff of putrefaction reminds of the rancid filth that emanates from the debut record of French four-piece Viande. Is that whiff the reason these blackened, atmospheric death dealers all seem to delight in draping sacks over their heads?

It’s not for me to say. But their brand of heavily Incantation-influenced, doom-laden death metal practically oozes out the speakers, much as a sludgy sewage leak might. Nasty, distorted guitars, oozing oil-slick noise samples, pounding drums and guttural roars and growls straight from some hellish underworld make up Viande’s butcher’s kit. A pastiche of early Incantation and more recent Cruciamentum, L’abime dévore les âmes (The Abyss that Devours Souls) is no picnic. Insistent, urgent and brutal, Viande modulate the tempo across their debut but, whether it’s the frantic pace of opener “Les Dent du Gouffre” or the tortured tones of closer “Langues de Brume,” which gets dangerously close to drone, these Frenchmen are never less than intensely unsettling.

There’s more than a hint of sludge in the mix on L’abime dévore les âmes but also, in a somewhat unexpected addition to the mix, dollops of Portal’s Avow in the grimy riffage and eerie soundscapes of tracks like “La Tombe Avide” and “Le Souffle des Os.” Across the album, vocalist J is a man possessed, turning himself inside out as he screams completely unintelligible but no doubt portentous predictions of the world ending in a storm of blood and other bodily fluids. Probably. These grim tales are set to the apocalyptic samples and feedback-laden riffs of B, which oscillate between distended doom and static-laced technicality. It is drummer M, however, that is the glue holding together this unholy union. Sometimes metronomically ominous (“Lueurs de Cendres”), at others deftly progressive (“Traitre a la Vie”) but undoubtedly able to step up the intensity whenever needed (“Miroir Decharne” or “Le Souffle des Os”), M carries Viande along on a tide of blasts and pounding energy. This allows the other members extra leash to generate an atmosphere of bilious threat.

If there is an issue with L’abime dévore les âmes it’s that that atmosphere is all-consuming. Not in the way that people complain about atmoblack being driven by too many lengthy ambient passages—although these do surface briefly in a couple of places—but rather that the overall feel Viande generates somehow contrives to make the record a little one-note. This is curious because, in fact, the band plays delicately with tempos and modulates the black, death and doom edges of their sound with some skill. Yet, after many listens, I find myself unable to identify individual songs with any confidence or point to standout or really distinct moments on L’abime dévore les âmes, something heightened by the vocals in particular. These, as monstrous as they are, need a little more variation. Thus, while the album flows well, with everything seemingly in its rightful place, the sepulchral, primordial feel of Viande, which put me in mind of Arkhaaik, is a tiring sound after a while. This is amplified to a degree by the production, which is huge, rumbling, and cavernous but lacks subtlety.

Viande’s brand of death metal is drenched in exactly the sort of abyssal doomy atmosphere that an album entitled L’abime dévore les âmes ought to be. The more time I spent with the album, the more conflicted I became about how to score it, however. On the one hand, there is much to like about Viande’s brutal, deathly sound and the band are undoubtedly skilled. On the other, the songwriting holds them back slightly. That is not to say that Viande’s craft is poor, it is not and, doubtless mileage will vary. For me, however, L’abime dévore les âmes is a flawed but hugely promising debut that leaves Viande plenty of room to grow.

..::OPIS::..

Ciągle wracałem do tego pełnego udręki wezwania do ludzkości, symbolu rozpaczy w ogromnej nicości.
Strzęp nadziei rozwiany, ponieważ ten album jako całość mówi o unicestwieniu ideałów ludzkości i cokołów, na których spoczywają - i co się dzieje, gdy widzimy, jak to wszystko się rozpada...?
Ja wracam do początku krążka...

Ten debiut może nie jest niczym, czego nie słyszeliśmy wcześniej w tym gatunku, ale wciąż jest to świetny, melodyjny black metalowy album, który z całego serca polecam wszystkim fanom metalu w całym Układzie Słonecznym.



Following a stunning debut EP in 'Radiant Gloom' which landed them a label deal, German black metal band Vorga return with an absolutely scintillating full length that expands upon the music on their debut and takes it to new heights. The sound is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, while remaining intense and sufficiently scathing but not so much so as to blur out the gleaming melodies that add a dimension to the band's atmospheric and otherworldly music. Similar to the sci-fi themed black metal label mates Imperialist, Vorga seem influenced by Dissection but do so much more and sonically are operating almost as an atmospheric black metal band. It's easy to get lost in the intense and engaging soundscapes Vorga create, making the listener mentally traverse endless galaxies and remain enraptured by it all, as they weave together compelling riff after riff, ensuring that no time is wasted during the extraterrestrial journey. This is one of the best and most emphatic expressions of this style, leaving no stone unturned in ensuring a fulfilling, edge-of-the-seat experience that's both refreshing and unforgettable.

..::OPIS::..

Ciągle wracałem do tego pełnego udręki wezwania do ludzkości, symbolu rozpaczy w ogromnej nicości.
Strzęp nadziei rozwiany, ponieważ ten album jako całość mówi o unicestwieniu ideałów ludzkości i cokołów, na których spoczywają - i co się dzieje, gdy widzimy, jak to wszystko się rozpada...?
Ja wracam do początku krążka...

Ten debiut może nie jest niczym, czego nie słyszeliśmy wcześniej w tym gatunku, ale wciąż jest to świetny, melodyjny black metalowy album, który z całego serca polecam wszystkim fanom metalu w całym Układzie Słonecznym.



Following a stunning debut EP in 'Radiant Gloom' which landed them a label deal, German black metal band Vorga return with an absolutely scintillating full length that expands upon the music on their debut and takes it to new heights. The sound is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, while remaining intense and sufficiently scathing but not so much so as to blur out the gleaming melodies that add a dimension to the band's atmospheric and otherworldly music. Similar to the sci-fi themed black metal label mates Imperialist, Vorga seem influenced by Dissection but do so much more and sonically are operating almost as an atmospheric black metal band. It's easy to get lost in the intense and engaging soundscapes Vorga create, making the listener mentally traverse endless galaxies and remain enraptured by it all, as they weave together compelling riff after riff, ensuring that no time is wasted during the extraterrestrial journey. This is one of the best and most emphatic expressions of this style, leaving no stone unturned in ensuring a fulfilling, edge-of-the-seat experience that's both refreshing and unforgettable.

For fans of - Dissection, Necrophobic, Imperialist, Mare Cognitum, Unanimated, Sacramentum, Dark Funeral, Immortal, Gorgoroth
