BROKEL -rebirth of the unholy cd {ablaze prod.}
{kate's review}
These incredible 4 guys are from Toluca , Mexico . Seeing that they come from this part of the world was another reason for me to get their album and immediately push the "play" button, expecting some serious talents, mighty potential and deep lyrics I can drown in! And I wasn't wrong!
This CD consists 8 brutally-chaotic songs. The lyrics are about anti-Christianity and blasphemies in general, which you can even notice from their track titles, which I personally adore! (In Baphomet's Possession; Brutal Dismember Of A Worthless Body; Forever Hating your god In Hell's Abattoir (The Night Of The Christian's Sacrifice) etc. I really am into their cover artwork. Jesus Christ's face with his crown of thorns on the head, but his half face is represented as a scull, on a brown-yellow background!
The first 30 seconds from the 1st song called "Thrones Of Supremacy" really gives you a bright idea what should you be expecting from this album which lasts approximately around 39 minutes!
As I was focusing on the mighty guitar work here, I must say that I was blown away from the drummer of this band. I found myself head banging from the start, and I could not believe what I am listening. While I was listening the shouting "Thrones of Supremacy!!!" I literary turn up the volume and imagined I was listening them live! Haven't got the chance to see one of their live performances but I will totally write them down on the list along with the others "must see" bands!
Brokel is probably one of the bands that I couldn't believe I can listen to. Don't get me wrong, they are brutal, but the thing the drags me most to playing this album again and again is their way of playing with the melodies! (I don't mean on some cheese, softly-gay melodies) :) The thing that surprised me the most is definitely their way of keeping the brutalism, and keeping that sound strong and tough, beyond the melodic riffs or drumming. On some parts, this album reminds me (in a good way!) of the old Disinters "Welcome to Oblivion" album. I really enjoy in their performance, the two vocals they have, the potential they've showed on this full-length, and representing their vision of how do they see the "Rebirth of the Unholy" through a beautifully done mix of death and black metal. Violence, Satanism on one, and melody on the other hand! Every single member of BROKEL matches perfectly in it, and in my opinion they really know where are they going, so I expect to hear more from these sick brothers of mine in the close future! "Rebirth of the Unholy" is a brand new release, but shortly took one solid place on the underground scene! From the pictures i had the chance to see, BROKEL looks like a extremely young band, I mean on the age of its members. (They are formed in 2004). So you should all just pay attention to these guys, if you don't do it now, you will sure do it later!!!
COPREMESIS -muay thai ladyboys cd {paragon rec.}
this is a band out of queens new york area.and what a release they have spewed up on to the u/g masses.no compromises,no melody just straight forward guttural brutality!the vocals as mention are pure guttural sickness the drums are a non-stop battering of blast beats with the occasional mid-paced speed to let you the listener {and the drummer i'm sure} catch your breath then it's back to punishing the drum kits.the guitars and bass are heavy thick sounding walls of intense noise and shredding mayhem.while lurking deep in the chaotic sounds you can hear some really good solo's and bass lines.most people outside of the brutal u/g might just write this band off as another clone band.but give them a good honest listen before you do that cause their is some broken hope/devourment etc style but also alot of original and brutal sounds that will appeal to fans of sick,brutal death metal world-wide.

CYCLOTRON-promo/demo 08 {self-released}
it is hard to be original sounding in the death/grind scene today.but germany's own cylcotron have tried to do that with their music. they mix traditional straight forward grind intensity with a dark aura of industrial style sounds for an interesting sound of grinding industrialism.i must admit industrial.i must admit i am not a huge fan of industrial but the band has enough grind parts and intensity to keep me listening.i also enjoyed the vocal approach with instead of insane shrieks/screams like most grind bands .they use a more whispery/talking type of vocals.
this is a band and release you'll have to hear for yourself. personally i enjoyed it but it defintly has alot of different styles than just grind so if you enjoy grind with some variety you might enjoy this german band to.
DEICIDE-til death do us part {earache rec.}
i was really excited to see the new deicide was out as their last release was really good with the new line-up.and then i pushed "play" and what i heard shocked me.the band has seemed to lost their intensity that deicide is known for.i mean glen's vocals are still some of the sickest in the u/g today and even after all these years has the same intense evil growl and shriek but the band musicanship has lost the edge.i am not sure if the band just wanted to try to play a little more melodic {yes the music is still extremly fast,but in my opinion fast does not make you brutal} their are a few good tracks but over-all the release is boring {and believe i never thought i'd say that about a deicide release. only buy if you wanna waste money.
DISEMBOWEL-symptoms of decline {bmc-records} kate's review}
I must say I can't wait to start analyzing this album! :) I mean from speaking about the band, their logo, their cover, through their sound! First of all, this deranged five (5) comes from Greifswald , Berlin- Germany . They are called Disembowel, start working a few years ago. Had some line up changes but their brutalism overwhelmed them and they are now unstoppable force! "Symptoms of Decline" is their debut, this month's release, which enchants you with first of all -its look, and later with its sound! Whoever did their logo, had to be on some kind of a heavy medicine, in a positive way! Looks totally vicious and inhuman! S.O.D. offers incredibly insane artwork!!! I am pretty sure that absolutely no one can take his eyes of it, and I guess someone will use this cover as a idea for his tattoo! :)
For this debut they took a new drummer -session member, who also companions them on the live shows. And he is an extraordinary choice, believe me! Total maniac, who just rapes the drums unmercifully, giving an extremely violent, fast, brutal and complexed definition of Symptoms of Decline.
Everything is locked in perfectly in the death metal cell! The tension, fastness, brutality, intensity, power sound, hard bass line, slam parts, non-constant tempo, vicious vokills, and a killer drummer! "Symptoms of Decline" sets some wicked atmosphere, a moment that lasts for approximately 44 minutes, where you don't have the slightest idea what you will do with yourself next, and which tempo or instrument should you follow! My personal favs are: "Are You Mental?"; "Organic Machine" (kickass drums here!); "Dysfunction"; "Masticator" etc. Pure sickness coming your way!!! There's something about this album, that you don't have idea what is it, but you can feel it under your skin! And there is absolutely nothing you can do 'bout it, Just push the "play" button again, lay down or bang your ass off, get addicted and admire!

EVISCERATED-s/t cd {amputated vein rec.} Kate's review
Eviscerated is a 5 piece death metal band hailing from EAST BAY, California, U.S.A. They are presenting a pretty tough death metal, with complexed attitude but on the other hand, combined with some melodic parts, and double vokills attack! When I saw their cover artwork (which by the way is made from one of the masters of today's visions of brutalism -Mike Majewski, I knew what can I expect so I prepared myself for the most brutal ride in the death tunnel! And that's what I've got! Every song on this first album (and there are exactly 10) has a unique Eviscerated stamp!
The album is self- titled (has the exact same name like the band); and it lasts for approximately 41 minutes.
The variety, and differences - different styles in this album are (by my opinion) coming from different ages of the band's members, which is good, cause we have people from 16 to 20 years old. I guess this is why its sound so fresh and unique. It's death metal, that's right, but there are lots of melodies from time to time, but they only fulfil it and richer up the sound!
It can open new ideas for the other musicians, and totally some new tastes and doors for the fans! So? Go check them out.
GOREINHALED-art of sickness {nice to eat you records} kate's review!!}
When I think of something extremely underground, sick, pervert, brutal and deranged, I think of Gore inhaled!!! It's an honour for me to see and listen such chaotic beauty these guys serve! This twisted disease was born at the end of 2002 in Majorca, Spain. They offer you an exquisite master piece of death metal- grindcore combo, with a total time of 27 minutes! The cover artwork is pretty colourful, and by that I mean that there is absolutely every single colour in it, that every our organ has it! Lots of corpses on the cover, but in a anatomy way. Colourful sketches of what kind of organs we have, their colour, form, and shape.
I would really like to meet in person these sicko's, I am totally amazed from their entire ideas! "The Art Of Sickness" is an awesome definition and vision of GoreInhaled. I cannot believe what I am listening, it's one of my favourites for this year in general! And when is this album in question, it's never too loud!!!! There is really so much to say about this album, but on the other hand, I don't want to lose more time, I want to play them and bang my ass off! :)
I don't think these guys are normal; I am not quite convinced they are humans! :) They totally fucked up my head, unmercifully played with every single healthy nerve I have left! It's easier to obey and devote to some seriously-damaging head bang, then to try to pay attention or follow the rhythm. It's like your mind has been ripped off your head, and placed into some other, freaky place! :) If these sick brothers of mine commit a murder (if they haven't done one yet) :) you will totally forgive them after you listen one of their songs:"Pleasure of murdering"!!! If you find some slower, slam parts, you will be also executed by them!
There is absolutely nothing I would take away or add to this mighty trio! Where did you come from?! I cannot stop listening them! I played the cd, unaware that some serious, chaotic, extreme complexity is overwhelming me! The bass line is shredding you, leaving small chunks behind… And the vokills? That just a too morbid picture for you to handle!
Heaving earth-july 2008 promo {self-released}
kate's review}
Heaving Earth Is an Extreme Death Metal Act of 4 sicko's hailing from Prague, The Czech Republic. I really am not too surprised from this kind of band, if I think over twice about their origin! Anyway this promo cd contains 2 songs; the 1st one is called "Vultured Vision" and the 2nd one is "Concepted Backwards". The total time of this cd is around 8 minutes, but its pretty much enough time to see what you are dealing with. Speaking of the songs, I must say I prefer the 2nd one more. It's kind of reminding me of Hate Eternal and some Morbid Angel! It's a death metal band that knows his "job" pretty well…there are some melodic riffs, but still complexed. The drummer never ends, and the vocal is making you intense! Pretty good atmosphere. You should check them out, I am sure I will be hearing some more brutalism from these guys in the close future.
