Warganism: Centipede
10/03/09 || Kampfar
Warganism hails from Romania, and I’m not so sure I’ve ever heard a good, or even decent band emerging from said shores. I’ve indeed seen well-done and interesting documentaries about what’s going on down there – orphanage’s from hell, kids sniffing glue down in the sewers, mothers selling their children for scrap money, etc., etc. – but when it comes to music I almost draw a big fat blank. Ektomorf pops to mind, but they are just a bunch of gypsies who’s stolen all of their material, then ruined it. Just like gypsies tend to do.*
Write me if you are up for 10 reasons to hate Norwegians. 9 to go.
And before this review is over I also hope every last person responsible for this utterly tame borefest of an album hates, or at least despises this Norway hating Norwegian. I also recommend they never send their material our way ever again. Sure, bashing is a funny business, but there are simply too many of you bland bands for even us here at GD to execute. When the times is right you can be damn sure we will gather you all on a big fucking field and carpet-nuke you to dust, but for the time being our time hasn’t come yet.
Warganism’s time, however, will never come. And the reason why is because barely distorted nothingness with less balls and attitude than a hammer-smashed scrotum never was, nor will be, a winning recipe. It’s more like a recipe you’d bring out for famine, one comparable to that of bark-bread. What I’m saying is that if you’d spent a year concentration-camping in a camp featuring Celine Dion on the intercom 24/7, I’m positive Warganism would come across as a mainly tame and uninspired act even if only occupying your speaker on day 365. In scratchy mono, however, the album would at least attain a bit of character, for not only is the band close in being a complete bore, oh no, the mix is also flatter than an asphalted whore.
“Centipede” is a borefest, not a complete shitfest, which means here are a couple seconds worth of listenable material. Fucking hell, the musicians affiliated even knows which way to hold their instruments. So if you are up for not at all black black metal moderately sprinkled with even lesser evil, this is just what you need.
Ektomorf doesn’t hail from Romania at all, Hungary is their home, which means I drew a big, fat blank after all.
3,5 out of 10.
