OYLOKON – Life Belongs to Death
Independent
This must be the weirdest or if not one of the
most unique monikers I’ve ever come across. I don’t have the slightest clue as
to what it means or where it derives from so let’s move on to fields I’m more
familiar with. OYLOKON is an Italian based trio that is here to deliver with
their debut full length work a blend of thrash with death metal in the old
school way. I think this sentence says it all as to what you should expect to
listen to on “Life Belongs to Death”… twelve compositions of relentless head banging
filled with nice grooves and plenty of references to SLAYER; it has sharp riffs
and a solid rhythm section while the vocals are harsh growls that go very well
with the rest of the instruments. Add to the above some nice dark melodies and
some eerie, gloomy atmospheres and you have a pretty complete idea. “Life
Belongs to Death” doesn’t contain any innovations or modern elements… how could
it? It’s old school like I mentioned earlier with some melodic death metal
touches, so it’s not addressed to people who are after novelties or weird music
patterns. OYLOKON are here to please the needs of those of you who are into the
first era of death and thrash metal bands that like pure and honest music and
want to bang their heads till the end. If you belong to this latter category
then make sure you give these Italians a try!
