Abacinate - Genesis
|
Sorry not Death Metal |
|
Imo this sounds more like Corish Death Metal but not quite Deathcore, but enjoyable nevertheless. It is however a slight improvement from Ruination, which was also entertaining.

Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
|
avoid! |
|
such disappointment coming from my fave death metal band. except for a few songs (3 or 4) this is not death metal, not morbid angel. it sounds like rob zombie with an angrier voice. as for the concept - this is not for them, vincent should have stayed in genitorturers .. all this la-la-la-sing-along makes me sick, truly bad album..

Taake - Nattestid Ser Porten Vid
|
Nattestid Ser Porten Vid |
|
This is an excellent Black Metal Band directly from Bergen, Norway, with Hoest as the creative main force of the band. The band was formerly known as Thule between 1993 to 1995. Taake means the Norwegian word which means "Fog".
This is the first full-lenght produced by Wounded Love Records in 1999. It has an amazing athmosphere as all Taake albums. The production fits exceptionally well with the music really. The musical content is mainly renowned for its unique intensity, because this is the hatred and rage mixed with a certain humanity and love of nature, which removes the rawness of the music in its contradiction. Sun Taake enchant the listener to "Nattestid" inducing melodies that take you on a journey into the secluded pine forests and frozen tundra of Scandinavia and enchanted by little. I rate this album 5/5. Highly recomended.

Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
|
Kill a cop cop, kill a cop, kill-a-kill-a-cop!!! |
|
This record is too extreme! for me. Maybe if I was living hardcore and radical I could get it.
But I'm not even morbid and sordid enough.
I fear Destructos will march on me anytime soon

Myriads - Introspection
|
New foster home |
|
DFM is not the place for a band like this, so Myriads could use a new foster home. Send me a pm when a new home is found, i'll be more than glad to help moving.

Philosopher [HUN] - Keep Dancing! Music Will Come From Somewhere
|
AWESOME bass-lines \m/ |
|
Lots of change of tempo keeps hold of your attention,
maybe not the best production i've heard,
but the tracks are complex and technical.
Fast technical drumming, same with the guitars,
loads of shredding and sweeping solos,
but the best of all: absolutely AWESOME bass-lines!!!

Amaranthe - Amaranthe
|
Oh, the horror! |
|
Usually i tend to be quite understanding to different music experiments, because my tastes vary from blues/jazz to JGore, the latter being a personal favorite.
To the point: Power/Melodic Death Metal has NOTHING to do with Amaranthe. This is more or less Power Goth. The combination of these makes me go nuts, because it is neither power or goth. It is a crappy MTV-like production with female vocals and random harsh ones. It simply does not work like this. With my hand on my heart i admit that i actually prefer Myriads, if i wanted to be tortured by any of these bands.
It seems that the teenage feelings in any musicians do not fade away so quickly, but the truth is that similar artists are floating around the TV screen and certain kids parties and i really think that this band does not deserve to be played on DFM, because the concept of the band is just the opposite, of what we strive to maintain here as probably one of the strongest fortresses of extreme music and many of it's variations.
Recap: does not belong here, different audience, useful to entertain emos, before the final ketchup smear, putting together female and harsh vocals is NOT a recipe for success.
Thanks for reading,

Lay Down Rotten - Reconquering The Pit
|
Pretty nice album! |
|
With Reconquering the Pit, German Lay Down Rotten have made a record that mixes dark death metal with melodeath sometimes close to the Gothenburg sound and style. Most of the songs actually have it. One could fear this would mean they all would sound the same making Reconquering the Pit quickly repetitive. This is not the case and it’s best illustrated in “Bitter Thoughts” and “New Mechanic Human Phenomena”, the latter being my favourite song on the album. There we have some excellent part-melodic riffs and leads, twisting in and out of the uncompromising heaviness.
The sound isn’t very complex, but it gives room to each instrument in the mostly standard death metal sound. I could have wished for a little more ‘punch’ especially the drums are almost anonymous, but that might just be me. Reconquering the Pit is an album that will grow the more you listen to it and both death metal and melodeath fans will find plenty of good things here. A great album!
