What a dynamic piece!  Blending in 3 genres all at once.  The guitars were amazing and the vocals perfectly drawn out.  I really liked this whole album.  It's a shame that they're broken up!  I cannot get enough of this release.  The music itself is that what's captivating.  And the energy of it all.  What some great musicians for this album!  The riffs are so elegant and well played out as were the solo guitar pieces.  I just have nothing but good things to say about this release.  What musicianship, talent and great heavy/power/thrash metal that goes along with this entire piece of work.  The music itself isn't too fast tempos and it's more captivating that way!

Συνηθίζουμε να λέμε ότι ένας άνθρωπος ή στην προκείμενη περίπτωση ένας καλλιτέχνης είναι φιλόδοξος. Ένας επιθετικός προσδιορισμός που για μένα είναι αρνητικά φορτισμένος. Βλέπετε, έχω συνδέσει τον φιλόδοξο ως τον άνθρωπο που εκμεταλλεύεται συνανθρώπους του και καταστάσεις για να εξελιχθεί ο ίδιος προσωπικά και να εξυπηρετήσει τα συμφέροντά του. Πάντα, όμως, εκτιμούσα τους ανθρώπους που είχαν κι έχουν όραμα κι αφιερώνουν χρόνο, κόπο και χρήμα για να κάνουν πραγματικότητα αυτό που ονειρεύονται. Είναι πραγματικά εντυπωσιακό το πώς ένας άνθρωπος με ταλέντο κι επιμονή μπορεί να μετουσιώσει κάτι που ανήκει στη σφαίρα των ιδεών σε κάτι το απτό κι αισθητό. Μια τέτοια περίπτωση πιστεύω είναι κι αυτή του μουσικού και συνθέτη Τζανάκη Μιχάλη.

REVIEW: DEATH - Scream Bloody Gore

 

DEATH - Scream Bloody Gore

Combat Records

Homepage

Seems to be between Possessed '7 Churches' to Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' where the conflict is which album founded the genre of death metal wholeheartedly?  I'd have to say Death, especially well talked about on the Death By Metal documentary is that Possessed '7 Churches' was a bit "sloppy" and Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' was "tighter".  I'd have to agree with this synopsis.  The music on here is raw, heavy and straightforward.  Chuck did a great job on 3 avenues: vocals, guitar and bass Chris on drums.  They practiced a shit-ton to get this album out and made.  They had to go through some loopholes before finally making a recording on Combat.

THE FACELESS HUNTER released new album

 

Russian Progressive Death Metal/Alternative Metal band THE FACELESS HUNTER released their new album «One Minute To Midnight». The release was recorded in "Holy Tube Studio", mixed/mastered by Andrew Ivanenko and released by PATRIOT LABEL.

THE FACELESS HUNTER was founded in 2016 in Orenburg, Russia. From the very beginning of their creative path, the musicians do not put themselves within the framework of only one direction, covering both Alternative and Death Metal, as well as abstract Dark Metal. Each work of the group is balanced with harsh vocals, legible, and lower demonic, which stands out by the change of speedy and pumping riffs to moments that are charming with their atmosphere. All this is supported by energetic live performances worked out at dozens of concerts and festivals.

Κατ’ αρχήν να πω ότι εκτιμώ πραγματικά που τα παιδιά από το συγκρότημα επικοινώνησαν μαζί μου και μου έστειλαν το υλικό τους προκειμένου να το παρουσιάσω από την σελίδα μου. Ομολογώ ότι δεν είμαι γνώστης της extreme metal σκηνής και μάλλον θα έλεγα ότι η επαφή μου με αυτήν είναι επιδερμική. Οπότε ζητώ να μου συγχωρήσουν όποιο ατόπημά μου στην παρουσίαση της δουλειάς τους και να μου αναγνωρίσουν το ελαφρυντικό της ελλιπούς γνώσης.
