NAPALM DEATH - HARMONY CORRUPTION

harmony corruption - napalm death
Music Review

Artist : NAPALM DEATH

Album : HARMONY CORRUPTION

Cool Track/s : If The Truth Be Known, MIndsnare, Suffer The Children

Rate : 9 / 10

Napalm Death are a grindcore/death metal band formed in the village of Meriden near Birmingham, England in 1982 by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge. The group are generally acknowledged as the group that invented the grindcore genre, a fusion of thrash metal and hardcore punk. The band thenprogressed from these beginnings after their first two albums and became a more death metal sounding band. But, however, 'till today, Napalm Death is still known as a 'Grindcore Pionner'.

Harmony Corruption is my favorit Napalm Death's album among others. In this album they progressed their grindcore style into a more death metal sound. The songs is more complex with more progressive death metal riffs and explorations, but still have the grindcore roots. In my opinion, Mark 'Barney' Greenway is one of the best Growl Vockiller in the underground scene. My favorit is, off course, 'Suffer The Children', 'If The Truth Be Known' and 'Mindsnare'. Classic stuff !!

Tracklist :
1. Vision Conquest
2. If The Truth Be Known
3. Inner Incineration
4. Malicious Intent
5. Unfit Earth
6. Circle Of Hipocrisy
7. The Chains That Bind Us

Music Review

Artist : CRADLE OF FILTH

Album : DUSK N' HER EMBRACE

Cool Track/s : Funeral In Carpathia, Dusk N'Her Embrace, Malice ThroughThe Looking Glass

Rate : 9 / 10

Dusk N' Her Embrace is Cradle of Filth's third release and second full-length album, it's differs greatly from the band's previous two releases in terms of sound. The music is faster and more accomplished, and Dani Filth's vocal gymnastics are at their most extreme. This Album, in my opinion, is the most 'black metal' album among allCradle's great albums. I like them all, but i really love this one.The sound is really atmospheric and dark, really rich with great black metal riffs. I just love to play 'Funeral In Carpathia' on my stereo when i miss Cradle Of Filth. Dusk N' Her Embrace is bloody classic!!

2. Heaven Torn Asunder

DISAVOWED - PERCEPTIVE DECEPTION

perceptive deception - disavowedMusic Review

Artist : DISAVOWED
Album : PERCEPTIVE DECEPTION

Cool Track/s : Reason Rejected, Condensed Conditions, Masses Conformed
Rate : 8 / 10

Disavowed is a brutal death metal band from Dutch. Their goal is to write extreme music that is brutal, yet well structured, technical and catchy. After releasing a demo 'Point Of View'and gain a good responses from all over the deathmetal scene, they set to a record deal with the American label Unique Leader Records. In 2001 their first full length debut album entitled ‘Perceptive Deception’ was released.

This album is one of my Top 10 favorite. This album is not only br00tal, fast or technical like other brutal bands in the genre, but also clean and catchy. The riffs are mixture between old school and modern brutal death. It's easy to fit nodding heads in unison with chaotic rhythm. Guttural low-end vokill, mix with downtune guitar riffs, solid picking bass style, and blasbeats drumming, are a real struck to your guts from track to track. Some piece of brutal art !!
A skullcrusher indeed!! highly recommended!!

Tracklist :
1. Rhizome
2. Abolition Of Impediment
3. Reason Rejected
4. Condensed Conditions
5. Masses Conformed
6. Unfolding Disposition
7. Generative Patterns
8. Critical Emulation
9. Opposite Extremities

Music Review

Artist : HECATE ENTHRONED
Album : UPON PROMETHEAN SHORES (UNSCRIPTURED WATERS)

Cool Track/s : 'To Feed Upon Thy Dreams' and 'An Ode for A Haunted Wood
Rate : 8 / 10

Hecate Enthroned is a symphonic black metal band from the North of England. The band formed in 1993 under the name Daemonum, A year or so later, they changed their name to Hecate Enthroned, this time playing a more melodic black metal style. In 1995 they recorded their demo "Ode for a Haunted Wood", which got the attention of the British label Blackend Records. Blackend had it re-mastered under the title "Under Promethean Shores (Unscriptured Waters) in 1996."

This album is my favorite classic black metal album. Actually, my twin brother (Idur-311, hail..) bought it when he was in one of his adventure, in the land of the Gods, BALI! Nice choice, Bro !! The album is really cool, started with atmospheric opening 'Promethea' with whispering voice, they struck your ear with Jon's long scream and their melodic track 'The Crimson Thorns'. Then from track to track they explore their darkest dreams with blastbeats and erotic sounds of guitars and keyboards. 'To Feed Upon Thy Dreams' and 'An Ode for A Haunted Wood' is my favorite track. But,overall, i like all the tracks from this album. If you're into black metal,
you got to have this one. Bloody classic, Be sure..!!

SUFFOCATION - EFFIGY OF THE FORGOTTEN


Music Review

Artist : SUFFOCATION
Album : EFFIGY OF THE FORGOTTEN

Cool Track/s : Liege Of Inveracity, Effigy Of The Forgoten, Jesus Wept
Rate : 9 / 10

Suffocation is the pioneer of original crushing grind/death mixture from New York, USA. Suffocation fused the predominant rhythmic styles of death and speed metal with grindcore song constructions to start a new subgenre of music, "Brutal Death Metal". "Effigy Of The Forgotten" is their debut album. Many says that this album is their best work. It's Classic, It's Legendary. Many brutal bands stated that Suffocation and this album is their main reason to start playing brutal death metal. (Hail to Rotten Corpse for playing them so good !!).

Actually, this album is my first death metal album !! I remember, it was 1992, I was in high school. I bought it from a friend (his brother gave it to him and he hate it !!?, lucky me, huh !!). The first time I played it on my stereo, I was shock and unintensionally drooped my jaws. I thought "What the fxxk is this?!!". The track was "Liege Of Inveracity" and it was fuckin' massive!! My blood is rushing, and my head is banging. I can't stop listen to it until the last track. This album has always in the top of my Top 10 list. If you're a true death metal freaks, you should have this one among your collections. If you haven't got it yet (where the hell have you been?), then get it now. Buy it, borrow it, or even steal it, i don't care !!. Trust me, you won't regret it. It's highly recommended.
