Album review (Ikke skrevet selv)

 

Since this album came highly recommended by Malefic of the brilliant Xasthur, I had to rush out and obtain it. The recommendation turned out to be a good one.

 

Silencer is another in a growing pool of bands that are proving that the best black metal in the past few years has been coming out of Germany. The band's sound is most easily described as a mix of Bethlehem and Burzum. These are mostly due to the vocals, which sound like the two aforementioned bands' styles but with a hint of Tom Araya's high scream. In terms of total, unsettling weirdness, think of the lords of suicide, Bethlehem. Silencer's vocals, which I assume are done by Nattramn, one of the two main members of Silencer, are largely shrieked in a fashion that conveys total despair and an utterly crushed soul, but also features diseased coughing and depraved gnome-like vocalizations.

 

There are definitely some problems here that should be addressed by the nearest mental ward (indeed, a hospital is thanked in the liner notes): Nattramn's picture is one of the most strange and morbid things I've ever seen in a metal release, with him lying on what could be a bed, the folds of his flabby midsection spilling over his only clothing, a pair of blood soaked sweat pants. He looks at us behind stringy, sickly long hair, with eyes made as seemingly nonexistent as his face by corpsepaint that looks like a giant blood splatter. He gestures freakishly with his arms that are made to look like as if the hands have been amputated or mutilated as they are wrapped in bloody gauze. This may be as black metal as it gets.

 

I've been listening to Death - Pierce Me a lot lately. It didn't seem so special at first, but it's been rapidly getting more intriguing with each listen. The music is made up a lot of that boring-but-that's-the-point type of delivery. In other words, the riffs consist a lot of quickly repeated waves of sound with a less pronounced bass line and quick drums underneath. The waves start to pile up, adding more weight and dimension to the whole. As this happens, transitions to piano or undistorted guitar are made more poignant, and pretty soon you realize that while it can't touch the utter brilliance of albums like Bethlehem's S.U.i.Z.I.D., this IS a pretty damn good album. Check it out.

Noen andre som har hørt Cannabis Corpse?

Synes det låter mye bedre enn Cannibal Corpse selv om det er et slags parodiband :!:

De lager helt egne låter, ikke coverversjoner ;)

Titlene på sangene er som regler titler fra Cannibal Corpse med en liten tvist.

-I Cum Bud

-Gallery of Stupid High

-Addicted to Hash in a Tin

Vet ikke om denne fra Satyricon har blitt posta, men syns den er ganske kul, fengende riff =)

Ikke dumt, men er det metal? For meg høres det ut som om Satyricon nærmer seg mer og mer rocken - blackened rock? Greit nok det i og for seg, man diskuterer jo fortsatt Ulver her, selv etter at de henga seg til retnings- og meningsløs frijazz-electronica. Med denne singelen legger Satyricon seg på en hard, midtempo og melodiøs rocklinje, litt i samme gate som "Queens of the Stone Age med blastbeats og grimvokal". Kanskje ikke tilfeldig at de har søkt ut en produsent som tidligere har jobbet med QotSA?

 

For all del, jeg syns det er kult at noen band går i en mer publikumsvennlig retning med sitt "BM-inspirerte sound", både for mangfoldet og innfallsporten til genren det skaper.

 

Thumbs up, selv om jeg neppe kjøper plata :)
