...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

To najwyższej klasy blackened death metal.
Po prostu absolutnie miażdżący krążek!


Debiutancki album czeskiego black/deathmetalowego zespołu złożonego z muzyków FEEBLE MINDED, IMPERIAL FOETICIDE, HEAVING EARTH, CULT OF FIRE, ELYSIUM, BRUTE, GARBAGE DISPOSAL, INTERVALLE BIZZARE, FLESHLESS, SUPREME CONCEPTION, BRUTALLY DECEASED.

Na płycie znajdziecie aż osiem kawałków pełnych mocy death black metalu, gdzie każdy z nich został przemyślany pod kątem detali. Artyści z zespołu ALTARS ABLAZE postawili na oryginalne rozwiązania, dzięki czemu ich muzyka urzeka różnorodnością. Słuchając produkcji "ALTARS ABLAZE - Life Desecration CD" można wyróżnić wiele elementów, które z powodzeniem łączą ze sobą intensywne riffy, oryginalne motywy oraz zmienne rytmy. Album ten to propozycja dla prawdziwych twardzieli, którzy nie boją się wyzwań oraz niespodziewanych momentów. Zespół ALTARS ABLAZE wprowadza słuchacza w ekstremalny, ciemny świat muzyki.

Dlatego, jeżeli jesteś gotowy na mocne brzmienia, które wprowadzą Cię w zupełnie inny wymiar - to właśnie ta propozycja jest dla Ciebie! Dla fanów złowieszczego death metali w klimacie ANGELCORPSE, HATE ETERNAL oiraz DIABOLIC) połączonego z agresynwością black metalu w klimacie 1349 i SETHERIAL.



Life Desecration by ALTARS ABLAZE consists of eight songs of cutting edge death black metal which propel the genre's history into the chaotic madness of our current day and the future.
Another, so needed, defining chapter of this extraordinary and special sub-genre, which merges the most extreme elements from the black and death metal worlds, is upon us.

When it comes to extreme metal, words like “brutal” or “bestial” are often tossed around as euphemisms for “low-effort.” Many releases promise an uncompromising degree of sonic destruction, but rarely follow through with ideas interesting and well-crafted enough to deliver on that promise. Life Desecration, the debut offering from Czechia’s ALTARS ABLAZE takes a nuclear sledgehammer to that trend. Forged by seasoned veterans of the Czech extreme metal scene, Life Desecration unleashes a flurry of blackened death carnage that concentrates enough concussive force to rival the most vicious of their more primitive antecedents. But this quintet sets itself apart by refusing to sacrifice compelling artistry in the pursuit of sonic savagery.

ALTARS ABLAZE’s mode of attack hearkens back to the finest moments of the infernal blasting death metal of the late 90s (embodied by the likes of ANGELCORPSE, HATE ETERNAL and DIABOLIC), blended with the most aggressive specimens of Nordic black metal, such as 1349 and SETHERIAL. But these are merely convenient points of reference. ALTARS ABLAZE are consummately unique in their interpretation of their style, with nuanced riffing and a command of dynamics, far exceeding those of any superficially comparable act.

ALTARS ABLAZE’s rare creativity shines through in a variety of unexpected moments throughout this record, too many to mention individually. Put simply, the band is unafraid to throw listeners off-balance by introducing dense layering of guitar polyphony, riffs that cycle through multiple divergent paths, and the introduction of asymmetrical shuffling drums amidst the blasting. In just over half an hour, ALTARS ABLAZE assert themselves as a distinctive and fearsome entity, and prove that, even in a style known for relentless aggression, there is ample room for subtlety and compelling songwriting.

Pierwszy album francuskiego zespołu grającego kompleksowy progresywny death metal dla fanów GORGUTS, TRIPTYKON, ULCERATE, EMPTINESS, MESHUGGAH, PORTAL, DISKORD, AKERCOCKE, GOJIRA, SUMAC, DEATHSPELL OMEGA, ALTARS, CHAOS ECHOES.

Niezwykle ciężki album. Niesamowity, atmosferyczny death metal, który brzmi, jakby miał nas wszystkich ZMIAŻDŻYĆ...


So many easily shattered doorways beyond surface level heavy and/or extreme music exist that it would seem they all gnash for the crumbs of a smaller, but admittedly more lucrative, fleeting space in the minds of the uninitiated. A half-dead planet full of frustrated phone-gripping mutants represent a huge pile of potential recipients for the deeply shaded gradient that grows between accessible alt-metal innovation and popular modern heavy metal. As I grow older a darker blurred cynicism grows within me with every passing year as the bands that survive through mass influence continue to twinkle in the eyes of new waves of musicians. I didn’t contribute to the success of Gojira nor Meshuggah and even they show some marked embarrassment for the clones spawned from their detritus. To wear these influences outwardly typically riles up a spitting frenzy of limbs and curses from my side of the room yet the self-titled debut EP from Grenoble, France progressive death metal band Barús in 2015 appeared entirely inoffensive and solidly entertaining at the time. In many ways that EP was a way back through to the other side, an angle giving nods to a more accessible style but with a damned seriousness that appeared to avoid populist intentions.

In piecing together the ambitions of their experimental death metal sound within a full-length format Barús offer a structurally complex death metal album that bridges the adventurous spirit of earlier (pre-‘From Mars to Sirius’) Gojira with Gorguts‘ ‘Obscura’ using the atmospheric ripples of turn of the century Immolation to fill in the gaps. It is a curious piece to dive into because there is as much ‘The Link’ as there is influence from Arkhon Infaustus (or even DeathSpell Omega‘s least orthodox momentum) and I haven’t yet mentioned the nigh post-rock feeling atmospheric elements (see: “Engorge”, “Amass”) that actually works remarkably well in terms of providing variety and fluidity. How can this possibly be palatable? By virtue of a heavy attraction to discordant and unique progressive death metal, admittedly.

There is a remarkable middle ground struck on ‘Drowned’ that favors the darker side of things. It isn’t relentlessly slapped like an Ulcerate record nor is it outwardly complex and unhinged as anything by Diskord or Portal but if ‘Obscura’ was a high watermark for you, this provides a distant rhythmic cousin that just slightly extends the concept and trades the early 90’s death metal climate for a warmed over modernity. In fact the production sound and guitar tone are almost too illustriously captured on ‘Drowned’ without the noxious clangor of any of the bands that influenced Barús to fill a sort of ‘abrasion quota’ expected from this type of technicality. It is both refreshing in tone and only slightly disappointing in terms of ‘riffs versus compelling rhythms’.

To say that ‘Drowned’ was a grower only suggests that my expectations were set low at the mention of certain bands I’ve already mentioned. Once I had immersed myself within Barús‘ darkness-bearing tones the effect was not unlike my early experiences with ‘Unholy Cult’ where closer listening revealed complexity and worthwhile dynamic but never completely outdid those opening moments. It would appear that the band are cognizant of the need to lean towards death metal yet they repeatedly rely on dry (bland) riffing for transitions within several tracks (see: “Vitiate”) and this flattens a few very intense moments that would have otherwise been true peaks of interest for the full listen. “Perpetrate” was compelling in that it begins sounding like a stronger track from Sepultura‘s ‘Against’ were it performed by early 2000’s Ulcerate, this sort of moment fluctuated in value with successive listens and made it somewhat difficult to decide how I felt about the bigger picture of Barús‘ debut.

Ultimately I found my horizons slightly expanded by ‘Drowned’ as the rhythmic flow of the record had more to offer once I shut off the part of my brain that is programmed to be repulsed but the esoteric downtuned chug-tone that characterized the early 2000’s popular metal landscape. Between the soggy, crawling riffs and gasped vocals is a worthwhile listen but at no point does it offer more than its influences despite how incredibly polished the overall curation of elements and atmospherically sensitive arrangements is. As an impossibly heavy and twisted chugging beast Barús‘ debut is admirably focused and intense and I can recommend it with a reasonable amount of enthusiasm. I don’t believe it is varied or compelling enough to transcend influences but the ride from Point A to Point B is captivating and takes quite a few unexpected turns despite feeling linear as an experience. If you are fairly orthodox within your death metal tastes and approach this sort of thing with trepidation I would suggest previewing “Dissever” as it is (more or less) the most outside-the-box composition to test your boundaries with. Despite some personal vacillation with interest to the simpler guitar work, I can highly recommend this album.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

The highly anticipated 3rd full-length by this U.S. band. Since the dawn of the Paleolithic age, mankind has recorded spectacular scenes of death, whether in scenes of cannibal feasts crudely etched on cave walls, massacres immortalized in glyphs adorning monuments of the ancient kingdoms, or in chance recordings of grisly accidents, compiled and sold on home video to those with a thirst for that which is denied to them by our "civilized" society. Spawned in the contaminated sewers of Santa Cruz, California in 2013, Dipygus began as a four-piece mutation performing rudimentary styles of Death Metal, a sonic evolution of the tradition continued from the time of Cro-Magnons.

A 2015 demo recording, the earliest surviving documentation of the band, reveled in unexplained and bizarre events, including peculiar methods of whale carcass disposal and otherworldly monsters from on and off the silver-screen. After a lineup change in 2016, Dipygus recorded the "Long Pig Feast" EP, which featured terrifying rites, ritual mutilations and ominous sightings of a Mesozoic relic in the heart of the Congo. Their debut album, "Deathooze", slowly de-composed in the murky shallows of powerplant runoff in the Monterey Bay, ultimately being recorded in 2018. Though quickly banned in over 16 countries, Dipygus´ debut album attracted immediate attention among slime fetishists and similarly deviant circles. Placed appropriately alongside the Fiji mermaids and other grotesque artefacts found in curio cabinets of modern-day antiquarians, "Deathooze" continued the band´s exploration of inexplicable incidents, mysterious beasts and shocking carnage, including genuine audio recovered from a fatal attack at the hands of an ape gone mad! Following their debut album, Dipygus was conjoined with an additional member, and began a new exploration in search of secrets hidden in the jungles of lost continents, where life is cheap. After successful initiation into the shadowy world of black-market cuisine, an agreement was reached with Memento Mori for the release of the band´s second full-length, "Bushmeat". Showcasing more exotic and repulsive themes of the supernatural and taboo, "Bushmeat" presented an uncensored and unrelenting spectacle, with each element of the previous work irresponsibly taken to a further extreme. A prime cut of raw and grueling terror, it was fit for consumption by headhunters, body-snatchers, toad-venom junkies, cargo cultists, aquatic ape theorists, disaster tourists, carriers of tropical disease, voodoo practitioners and orgone revivalists only. All others having since been warned, Dipygus return to time primordial with an elegantly self-titled third album. Suitably graced with evocative cover art courtesy of Hayden Hall, Dipygus thrusts the helpless listener into a psychedelic jungle of grisly delights. At 10 songs in 41 minutes, the quartet qualify their most lengthy recording yet with maximum delirium and characteristically crushing execution.

Everything here feels massive -tone, feel, supernatural aura- yet somehow simultaneously exhibits a spacious quality that´s unsettling to the Nth degree. Perhaps that´s due to Dipygus´ increasingly twisted songwriting, neither "tech" nor improvisatory, but a certain "elevated caveman" aspect that pushes primitivism toward mind-bending ends. Fleeting-yet-haunting leads also play a part in Dipygus´ menagerie of malodorousness, exacerbating the psychotic reactions in their humid, hellish jungle, and even touches of way-back synths get mangled within, melting into the fuckton heaviness of Dipygus´ riffing. Ever wanna hear the most tripped-out moments of Autopsy, Impetigo and especially Nuclear Death taken to their ILLogicial conclusion? Then enter Dipygus´ self-titled album... if you dare!

..::OPIS::..

'As the Ashes Settle' to wszystko, czego oczekiwałem od Orphalis, i jeszcze więcej!!!
Godna kontynuacja znakomitego 'The Approaching Darkness', ale i znakomite dzieło, które go przewyższa. Jest imponujący od początku do końca, świetnie napisany i jeszcze lepiej wykonany...

FA

Counterbalancing technical death metal with brutal death elements, Orphalis may have found the perfect stylistic balance for the kind of music they are playing on their fourth full length which is astonishingly fluid given its dynamic and multifaceted nature. Their structuring is intuitive and yet unpredictable which keeps things both engaging and exciting. Moreover, with their knack of providing standout parts in each of the songs when you least expect it, it's impossible not to remain awestruck. In addition to the myriad music patterns that are equally matched by phenomenally diverse vocals, they are able to inject melodic bits and even searing solos into the music for added emphasis, all of which only enhances the auditory experience each time. 'As The Ashes Settle' is a beautifully tempered, vibrant and energetic album that is bound to leave an indelible mark in the style.

..::OPIS::..

Drugi album death metalowego Hetzer z Katowic.
Nie-święta ofensywa utrzymana w stylistyce Angelcorpse, nieustające blasty, przerzynające riffy i opętane wokale to wszystko uzbrojone w iście smoliste brzmienie.



– Niech będzie pochwalony Jezus Chrystus.

– Na wieki wieków amen.

– Ostatni raz byłem do spowiedzi dwa miesiące temu, a obraziłem pana Boga następującymi grzechami: doniosłem na sąsiada do Urzędu Skarbowego, głosowałem na Platformę, śmiałem się z prezydenta, nie ustąpiłem miejsca staruszce w tramwaju, cudzołożyłem, ukradłem puszkę Wielkiej Orkiestry Świątecznej Pomocy…

– Synu, nie chwal się tylko spowiadaj, Bóg Cię słucha…

– Tak, przepraszam… otrułem psa sąsiada, bo za głośno szczekał, w niedzielę zamiast do kościoła poszedłem na zakupy do hipermarketu…

– Jezus cierpi, gdy tego słucha ale mów dalej…

– … z zawiści porysowałem szefowi nowe auto, czytałem „Gazetę Wyborczą”, kupiłem nową płytę Hetzer…

– Co kurwa?! O, przepraszam, co Ty synu powiedziałeś?

– Zakupiłem „Fall Of The Holy Cult” katowickiego Hetzer…

– Synu, czy Ty myślisz, że tak zachowuje się prawdziwy Polak i katolik? Czy kupując tą płytę pomyślałeś, czy tak zachowałby się nasz wieli rodak, Jan Paweł II?

– Kiedy ja proszę księdza nie mogłem się powstrzymać. Przede wszystkim, ta płyta jest lepsza od debiutu! Liczba osób w kapeli się zmniejszyła, za to siła rażenia muzyki – paradoksalnie wzrosła! Może przez to, że Hetzer nie bawi się w żadne pierdolone introny, pierdy i tak dalej, a od razu nakurwia z grubej rury black/death’ową nawałnicą…

– Synu, jesteś w domu bożym, Jezus słucha…

– No ale ja kurwa nie umiem inaczej, kiedy słyszę takie granie jak na „Fall Of The Holy Cult”! Katowiczanie jakby odeszli od wpływów Infernal War, ale wie ksiądz, inspiracje takim Angelcorpse sa jak najbardziej słyszalne. Myśli ksiądz, że Hetzer jest coraz bliżej odnalezienie własnej niszy w krajowym undergroundzie?

– Eee, synu, przecież to obraża uczucia religijne Polaków i jest symptomem tego, co Papież – Polak nazwał „cywilizacją śmierci”, agresywnym przejawem walki z Kościołem…

– Kurwa, nie mów do mnie synu bo Ci ten kiosk rozpierdolę! Tak, Hetzer kontynuuje bezkompromisowy metalowy atak na wszelkie świętości…

– Synu, czy Ty się w ogóle słyszysz?! Nie będzie rozgrzeszenia!

– Kurwa, ostrzegałem Cię z tym „synem”…

– Hej, co robisz, to jest konfesjonał, to jest dom boży, ja jestem kapłanem!!! Zabieraj te ręce!!! Aaaaa!!!

Z akt sprawy: Wacław J. doprowadził do zgonu ks. Eustachego Wikaroposuwskiego poprzez uduszenie. Rozpoznanie wśród najbliższych oskarżonego wykazało, iż był uważany za miłego i uprzejmego młodzieńca. Najbliżsi wskazywali jednak na niepokojące zmiany, jakie nastąpiły w jego zachowaniu na jesień 2009 roku. Zbieżność z datą premiery drugiego albumu Hetzer wydaje się nie być przypadkowa.

Oracle


Hailing from Polands metropolis Katowice, Hetzer (German for “Agitator” and also known as a tank destroyer in WW II) are back to open the gates of hell once again. Founded in 2005, the band released 2 demos and a full length album entitled “The Rise Of Abaddon” so far. “Fall Of The Holy Cult” is Herzers next step to reclaim the crown of the Polish underground scene. Proclaiming themselves as an old school satanic Death Metal outfit, these guys from eastern Europe could be easily compared with relentless bands like Angelcorpse. Whereas the term “old school” simply doesn´t fit Hetzers style of music.

The tracks on “Fall Of The Holy Cult” are bursting of high speed blasting, precise riffing in the vein of Exmortem or the already mentioned Angelcorpse and hate-filled lyrics about Anti-Christianity, death and war. But there are also huge blackened elements in Hetzers sound, which boost the blasphemous prevailing mood up to the limit. No intros or unnecessary gimmicks - this one´s brutal to the core and will shred its way though your skull right from the beginning. This is an impressive demonstration of how non-trendy Black / Death Metal should be played and it´s furthermore an interesting snapshot of the Polish scene, which is far too often reduced to its biggest export articles Vader and Behemoth. Hetzer is the living proof - Poland is one of the leading territories when it comes to extreme Metal acts. The sound quality reminds me of real underground productions. Don´t get me wrong: this isn´t a crappy cellar recording, but an adequate quality, which is gruff, yet perfect for this kind of music. 8 Songs with a total playing time of about 32 minutes are enough to leave a lasting impact and an excellent general impression.

Overall, “Fall Of The Holy Cult” surprised me pretty much and I´m sure every true underground Death and Black Metal supporter will agree. Horns up!

– No ale ja kurwa nie umiem inaczej, kiedy słyszę takie granie jak na „Fall Of The Holy Cult”! Katowiczanie jakby odeszli od wpływów Infernal War, ale wie ksiądz, inspiracje takim Angelcorpse sa jak najbardziej słyszalne. Myśli ksiądz, że Hetzer jest coraz bliżej odnalezienie własnej niszy w krajowym undergroundzie?

– Eee, synu, przecież to obraża uczucia religijne Polaków i jest symptomem tego, co Papież – Polak nazwał „cywilizacją śmierci”, agresywnym przejawem walki z Kościołem…

– Kurwa, nie mów do mnie synu bo Ci ten kiosk rozpierdolę! Tak, Hetzer kontynuuje bezkompromisowy metalowy atak na wszelkie świętości…

– Synu, czy Ty się w ogóle słyszysz?! Nie będzie rozgrzeszenia!

– Kurwa, ostrzegałem Cię z tym „synem”…

– Hej, co robisz, to jest konfesjonał, to jest dom boży, ja jestem kapłanem!!! Zabieraj te ręce!!! Aaaaa!!!

Z akt sprawy: Wacław J. doprowadził do zgonu ks. Eustachego Wikaroposuwskiego poprzez uduszenie. Rozpoznanie wśród najbliższych oskarżonego wykazało, iż był uważany za miłego i uprzejmego młodzieńca. Najbliżsi wskazywali jednak na niepokojące zmiany, jakie nastąpiły w jego zachowaniu na jesień 2009 roku. Zbieżność z datą premiery drugiego albumu Hetzer wydaje się nie być przypadkowa.

Oracle


Hailing from Polands metropolis Katowice, Hetzer (German for “Agitator” and also known as a tank destroyer in WW II) are back to open the gates of hell once again. Founded in 2005, the band released 2 demos and a full length album entitled “The Rise Of Abaddon” so far. “Fall Of The Holy Cult” is Herzers next step to reclaim the crown of the Polish underground scene. Proclaiming themselves as an old school satanic Death Metal outfit, these guys from eastern Europe could be easily compared with relentless bands like Angelcorpse. Whereas the term “old school” simply doesn´t fit Hetzers style of music.

The tracks on “Fall Of The Holy Cult” are bursting of high speed blasting, precise riffing in the vein of Exmortem or the already mentioned Angelcorpse and hate-filled lyrics about Anti-Christianity, death and war. But there are also huge blackened elements in Hetzers sound, which boost the blasphemous prevailing mood up to the limit. No intros or unnecessary gimmicks - this one´s brutal to the core and will shred its way though your skull right from the beginning. This is an impressive demonstration of how non-trendy Black / Death Metal should be played and it´s furthermore an interesting snapshot of the Polish scene, which is far too often reduced to its biggest export articles Vader and Behemoth. Hetzer is the living proof - Poland is one of the leading territories when it comes to extreme Metal acts. The sound quality reminds me of real underground productions. Don´t get me wrong: this isn´t a crappy cellar recording, but an adequate quality, which is gruff, yet perfect for this kind of music. 8 Songs with a total playing time of about 32 minutes are enough to leave a lasting impact and an excellent general impression.

Overall, “Fall Of The Holy Cult” surprised me pretty much and I´m sure every true underground Death and Black Metal supporter will agree. Horns up!

To prawdziwy hołd dla Obituary z domieszką blast beatów. Wokalista opanował Johna Tardy'ego do perfekcji.

Forgotten early 90’s Death Metal classic back in the spotlight!

Viogression’s debut is one of the great early 90’s Death Metal albums but it never got any bigger attention. This was because the band signed to one of the most notorious rip-off labels at the time, and this wasn’t the only bad thing that happened. Viogression’s American label folded during the first week of the band’s tour with Death, a tour was meant to promote “Expound & Exhort”, and to add insult to injury, their label could not pay for the Euro leg of said tour and so the band had to withdraw.
This resulted in very little attention to their debut which just happens to be a Death Metal masterpiece.

“Expound and Exhort” is an album full of great Death Metal that brings Obituary and earlier Death to mind. Vocalist Brian DeNeffe is in league with John Tardy, but occasionally he uses a vicious screamy style of singing. Mostly the music varies between mid-tempo and slow ’n doomy but there are also some sudden blastbeats. This little factor sets Viogression apart from for example Obituary because they never used blastbeats. The production is good and surprisingly heavy, which is a great thing since some of the more underground Death Metal albums have quite a weak production (and it is fully remastered and restored for this re-issue). Another thing that sets Viogression apart is the use of weird effects and ambient parts in the songs. Viogression definitely gets the job done in the quality department, exuding a level of enthusiasm and intensity that is difficult to miss.

“Expound and Exhort”is one of those albums that doesn’t really get old, it keeps moving and changing things up, and does not fall shy of matching what was coming out of the bigger names in the early 90’s. To sum it all up, “Expound and Exhort” is essential for all fans of early 90’s Death Metal. Despite being heavily Obituary influenced it’s by no means a clone. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Let's take a moment to discuss art and logos. In the age of instant gratification, some may argue that the value of album art and a well-crafted logo have been diminished because, unlike times past, music is on our computers. Some, like myself, do still enjoy the physical aspects of releases and split buying between digital and physical mediums. To me, if I can't look through the liner notes, for example, something is missing in an otherwise immersive experience. However, I do absolutely respect and use digital formats.

CASKET GRINDER hails from Colombia and are relative newcomers to the death metal game. Although young, they have obviously studied up on their history, and the artwork of their second album, "Fall Into Dementia", certainly reflects this care and attention to the small details. Firstly, the logo is absolutely excellent. The placement on the album cover is great, immediately drawing the eye of the listener before a note even rings out, inviting a scan of the rest of the cover to discover its secrets. I don't know, it looks like a neuron or synapse or something. It's cool, and that's really what matters.

CASKET GRINDER play death metal, period. The type of neck wrecking, dizzying, exhilarating death metal we all know and love. Check out the sweet bass licks on "The Portal", kicking in swiftly after a delicious battering of riffs and pummeling drums with vocals straight from the bowels of the nether realms. Production values here are slightly murky but not to caveman-esque levels. The low end really shines through to rattle the floorboards of your mind. Nimble leads play with kick drum maelstroms, winding their way around the inner ear and staying put. "Behold the Abominations" kicks off with a great drum fill, followed by a well-placed dive bomb lead that collapses into trem bits and, again, those vocals. These are deep and resonating growls, kids, get your "grrr" face on. You know the one.

Now, about that groove. Groove is all over this album, even during the fast parts. Take, for example, "Buzzing Frenzy", which is an absolute monolith of riff, a clinic of blast, an education in violence, etc. Closing out the album with the title track can be a risky decision, but in the case of CASKET GRINDER, the choice pays off in (bloody) spades, with instantly memorable instrumentation and a drum performance that is slightly off time. Fans of death metal, take note of CASKET GRINDER. They're going places.

Trzeci album ekipy ze Słowacji grającej brutalny i techniczny death metal w starym sprawdzonym stylu.

Dla fanów DEICIDE, SUFFOCATION, NILE.


Gdzieś na granicy między oldschoolem a techniką, Brute zdecydowanie znalazł złoty środek. To muzyka tworzona przez fanów death metalu – dla fanów death metalu.
Mogłaby być nieco dłuższa, bo 7 utworów (plus intro) w 35 minutach sprawi, że będziesz chciał więcej. Może ci goście mogliby się trochę bardziej postarać, skoro tak dobrze opanowali swoją formułę.
Z drugiej strony... Brute nie wynalazł żadnego koła zamachowego na nowo, ale te, które już istnieją, równie dobrze cię rozwalą.

An evil and macabre force was born in Slovakia and named Brute which is back after 3 fucking years with a third full-length slaughter called "Henchmen" spreading fear and chaos like never before and offering a carnage of great fucking quality! Brute is performing an Insane Death Metal and this release have a lot melodic elements but being fucking brutal with a brilliant fucking composition and an unique side making "Henchmen" an highlight in the shitty fucking genre! 8 songs of pure fucking butchery containing an intro and being all fucking excellent including a lot of catchy riffing making this fucking release very addictive and also having some weak parts but partially buried by the fucking awesome songwriting! The production is a complete fucking success, excellent mixing and this fucking shit sounds like thousands nuclear bombs exploding at the same fucking time and making us feel a total worldwide humanicide! The result of "Henchmen" despite some flaws is being fucking addictive from beginning to fucking end due to the perfect production and amazing composition making this third release a fucking must in the genre! Brute consists of Martin Calko (Vocals), Stefan Tokar (Guitars), Radoslav Michalko (Bass), Jirka Zajic (Drums) and the quartet is near fucking perfect in their execution delivering some brilliant fucking material! Martin on vocals is fucking great and powerful, Stefan is giving several amazing and catchy riffing, Radoslav also doing an amazing fucking job and finally Jirka is fucking awesome with a diverse drumming and sharing some insane fucking blastbeat! 35 minutes of pure fucking devastating Death Metal being not perfect but having everything to be a great fucking release making you fucking addicted with the amazing composition and "Henchmen" is without fucking doubt a fucking success and this third release is a mandatory piece of fucking shit in its kind! Highly recommended for all fans of Death Metal or Brutal Death by the brilliant fucking performance and insane fucking execution creating some hard drug making everyone fucking addicted!

Drugi krążek Fallujah równa się uporządkowaniu zespołowej drogi i wejściu na określony poziom. Ich techniczno-progresywny i zabójczy warsztatowo death metal nabrał kształtów i wyjątkowo świetnych patentów.
Waha się pomiędzy drogą łaski i natury, nigdy nie porzucając dążenia do słońca.

Głupie to straszliwie, ale po The Flesh Prevails sięgnąłem tylko po to, żeby się upewnić w przypuszczeniach, że jest do dupy. Czemu? No cóż, bo tak… Zdroworozsądkowego wytłumaczenia na to nie mam, a zmyślać mi się akurat nie chce. Niezależnie jednak od motywów, dobrze się stało, bo drugi album Fallujah okazał się dla mnie największym, przebijającym wszystkie poprzednie, pozytywnym zaskoczeniem tego roku. Naturalnie do gleby mnie nie sprowadził, bo do ideału mu sporo brakuje, ale dość powiedzieć, że wyraźnie wybija się ponad setki innych płyt z nowoczesnym technicznym death metalem, w tym także debiutancki „The Harvest Wombs”.

To, co przesądziło o — że tak trochę nadużyję — wyjątkowości albumu, to korekta wcześniejszego stylu. Amerykanie zdecydowanie spuścili z tonu (choć sam początek, a zwłaszcza „Carved From Stone”, może sugerować coś zupełnie innego), skupili się natomiast na nastroju muzyki i jej bardzo progresywnej otoczce. Do zmiękczaczy można zaliczyć tu m.in. elektroniczne plamy, ambientowe wtręty oraz damskie wokale. I jak zwykle nie pochwalam takich zabiegów, to w przypadku Fallujah naprawdę zdały egzamin, bo dzięki nim The Flesh Prevails jest materiałem niejednoznacznym, niejednorodnym, w wielu fragmentach niebanalnym, bardziej rozbudowanym, mocniej skupiającym uwagę i po prostu ciekawym.

Po pierwszych udanych ciosach zespół często i gęsto sięga po klimaty kojarzone raczej z twórczością Vai’a czy Satrianiego aniżeli death metalem w jakiejkolwiek odmianie. Brutalność staje się tylko dodatkiem (choć ciągle istotnym – bez niej zaraz pojawiłaby się nuda) do wielopoziomowych pasaży, a na pierwszy plan wysuwa się — uzyskiwana wieloma środkami — atmosfera. Innymi słowy: mniej krzyczą, więcej dumają. Obyło się jednak bez naciąganego eklektyzmu i tanich melodyjek. Także bez popadania w nie wiadomo jak popieprzone technicznie motywy, bo krążek na pewno jest mniej skomplikowany niż stać na to muzyków, a przez to słucha i zapamiętuje się go łatwiej, mimo iż wymaga skupienia.

W związku z powyższym zwolenników czystej napierdalanki zawartość The Flesh Prevails raczej nie zadowoli, a samo brzmienie może doprowadzić do rozpaczy. Sam zresztą nie jestem fanem tak podanego dźwięku. Fallujah nagrywali z przesławnym w niektórych kręgach Zackiem Ohrenem, ale zbyt dobrze, moim zdaniem, na tym nie wyszli. Kapuję, że chodziło im o maksymalną selektywność, ale przesadzili ze sterylnością, przez co płyta momentami brzmi dziwnie. Szczególnie kiepsko wypadają gary, bo w szybszych momentach cały generowany przez nie dźwięk zamienia się w płaskie „trytrytrytry”. No cóż, w tym elemencie się nie popisali, ale trzeba się jakoś do tego przyzwyczaić. Choć może i nie trzeba, ale warto, bo ten materiał na to zasługuje.

Naturalnie do gleby mnie nie sprowadził, bo do ideału mu sporo brakuje, ale dość powiedzieć, że wyraźnie wybija się ponad setki innych płyt z nowoczesnym technicznym death metalem, w tym także debiutancki „The Harvest Wombs”.

To, co przesądziło o — że tak trochę nadużyję — wyjątkowości albumu, to korekta wcześniejszego stylu. Amerykanie zdecydowanie spuścili z tonu (choć sam początek, a zwłaszcza „Carved From Stone”, może sugerować coś zupełnie innego), skupili się natomiast na nastroju muzyki i jej bardzo progresywnej otoczce. Do zmiękczaczy można zaliczyć tu m.in. elektroniczne plamy, ambientowe wtręty oraz damskie wokale. I jak zwykle nie pochwalam takich zabiegów, to w przypadku Fallujah naprawdę zdały egzamin, bo dzięki nim The Flesh Prevails jest materiałem niejednoznacznym, niejednorodnym, w wielu fragmentach niebanalnym, bardziej rozbudowanym, mocniej skupiającym uwagę i po prostu ciekawym.

Po pierwszych udanych ciosach zespół często i gęsto sięga po klimaty kojarzone raczej z twórczością Vai’a czy Satrianiego aniżeli death metalem w jakiejkolwiek odmianie. Brutalność staje się tylko dodatkiem (choć ciągle istotnym – bez niej zaraz pojawiłaby się nuda) do wielopoziomowych pasaży, a na pierwszy plan wysuwa się — uzyskiwana wieloma środkami — atmosfera. Innymi słowy: mniej krzyczą, więcej dumają. Obyło się jednak bez naciąganego eklektyzmu i tanich melodyjek. Także bez popadania w nie wiadomo jak popieprzone technicznie motywy, bo krążek na pewno jest mniej skomplikowany niż stać na to muzyków, a przez to słucha i zapamiętuje się go łatwiej, mimo iż wymaga skupienia.

W związku z powyższym zwolenników czystej napierdalanki zawartość The Flesh Prevails raczej nie zadowoli, a samo brzmienie może doprowadzić do rozpaczy. Sam zresztą nie jestem fanem tak podanego dźwięku. Fallujah nagrywali z przesławnym w niektórych kręgach Zackiem Ohrenem, ale zbyt dobrze, moim zdaniem, na tym nie wyszli. Kapuję, że chodziło im o maksymalną selektywność, ale przesadzili ze sterylnością, przez co płyta momentami brzmi dziwnie. Szczególnie kiepsko wypadają gary, bo w szybszych momentach cały generowany przez nie dźwięk zamienia się w płaskie „trytrytrytry”. No cóż, w tym elemencie się nie popisali, ale trzeba się jakoś do tego przyzwyczaić. Choć może i nie trzeba, ale warto, bo ten materiał na to zasługuje.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Wciągającą podróż przez osiem dynamicznych utworów, starannie skomponowanych, mistrzowsko zaaranżowanych i zagranych. Dysgnostic z łatwością łączy szeroki wachlarz ekstremalnych wpływów w spójne utwory, nigdy nie decydując się na oczywistość.



Known as Defilementory in a previous avatar, the critically acclaimed Danish death metal band were rechristened Dysgnostic to reflect a more contemporary direction of music that's more dissonant, technical and even atmospheric in its own dark, mysterious way. On their debut full length, the accomplished musicians find little trouble in weaving together songs that are complex yet engaging, offering undulating moments of intensity as well as enveloping dissonant ambience. The process is so deftly done that it almost has a hypnotic effect on you, despite the music getting challenging at times, and keeps your attention riveted through it all. Upholding the compelling sinuous approach, each of the songs manage to offer a slightly different expression, a glimpse into another dark dimension, and find ways to remain with you long after the album is over. Invariably, the album seeps into your consciousness, its cajoling darkness and wistful tunes making the process easier. The dreamier songs toward the end of the album complete the ritual and take over the possession of your mind, body and soul, as intended.

For fans of: Ulcerate, Sunless, Aeviterne, Gorguts, Devenial Verdict, Norse, Deathspell Omega
