Stubs
Face Your Underground: Compilation
23/06/11 || Lord K Philipson
This compilation is called “deathmetal.be sampler 10”. One would think all of the 18 bands would actually be death metal then, right? Not quite.
Emeth: 7,5/10. Emeth’s got their shit together and I wouldn’t oppose to hearing more from them.
Darker It Gets: 3,5/10. They got a shit drummer and they do not play death metal.
Marche Funèbre: 2,5/10. I already covered these guys in a stub. They are not exactly awesome this time around. Either.
Craar: 2/10. It started off slow and ok, just to turn completely sour within the next second when they decided to throw in some, I guess, black metal influences. Fail.
Lightbulb Inferno: 4/10. Semi-technical metal with a completely shitty production killing the eventual potential quite a bit. Coz they do have potential despite the incredibly stupid moniker.
Ycon: 3/10. Whoever turned the knobs for this band’s drumsound must be shot. At least they play death metal.
Pestifer: 4/10. Some nice riffage here and there with semi-impressive leadwork. It’s not holding up all the way though.
Age Of Torment: 4/10. Middle-ground death metal all the way.
Satyrus: 4,5/10. Chaotic death metal with keyboards. Some real cool shit going on in here at times. The fantastically poor production holds them back big-time though.
Gae Bolga: 2,5/10. Thrashy metal with galloping riffs that is best left ignored.
Iinside: 1,5/10. I don’t even know what to make out of this mess. And no, that’s not a typo.
Skeptical Mood: 2/10. What the fuck is wrong with people? Nice keyboards, idiots.
Loss Of Sanity: 2,5/10. Loss of sanity alright. At least we got some chick vocals. It’s just a shame everything else sounds like Turd-o-Rama.
Lemuria: 3/10. At least Lemuria managed to throw in some piano that didn’t sound like complete shit. Everything else did though. “You can run but you can’t hide. My power is too great.” Yeah, sure. Get the fuck out of here.
Colcothar: 2,5/10. Shit death metal.
Gore Force 5: 3/10. Br00tal death metal lacking everything that makes br00tal death metal good.
Steelhouse Rockets: 1,5/10. They want to be Motörhead. Safe to say they are not.
Burning Fallus: 1,5/10. At least they got the best band name on this compilation. Joke metal can go fuck itself.
Not a lot of death metal, but alot of shit music. Thanks for taking up my precious time with it, fuckos.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
