#### 28/03/14 || Global Domination

#### Triverse Massacre: With bared teeth and truths

Ironpants: I don’t know what to say, so… 4

Cobal: If this consisted of only one song, it would only be a quarter boring of what it actually is. 4

Habakuk: Whatever a “triverse” is, it sounds like a half-assed thing between uni- and multiverse. Oh. 5

sly: All the other components are here, we’re just missing the shut-off clamp. 2

#### Oppressive: Delusion of god

Ironpants: Really shitty sound, really good riffs. 1-1= 5

Cobal: Thrashing Gothenburg Metal? Why not? 7 P. S. I don’t know where the hell this is from.

Habakuk: For a (metal) band without a metal archives entry, these guys kick some serious ass. And the singer reminds me of some band I haven’t heard in a long time called Fallen Yggdrasil. It might just be that guy! 8

sly: Like a Kenneth Branagh film in that it is competent but not especially compelling. Unlike a Kenneth Branagh film in that it doesn’t make me want to vomit. A bonus half point for keeping it at 3 tracks. Thanks. 5

#### Thy Flesh: Thymiama mannan

Ironpants: Good ´ol black metal, “Rape magic”…hmmm, gonna read up on that. 5

Cobal: Greek black metal of the raw/mid-paced type. Songwriting is alright and I found some remarkable melodies. Horns up! 7

Habakuk: At first it was annoying, then it got a little better. All the while it had been heard before though. 6

sly: High quality, orthodox black metal with a nice dark atmosphere and an early ’90s Marduk vibe. 7.5

#### Suotana: Forgotten soil of this land

Ironpants: Don’t worry be happy music with really pissed off vocalist. I dig not! 4

Cobal: I thought Norther had split up. 5

Habakuk: Finland, oh Finland. 6

sly: Non-stop keyboard crap. 1.5

#### Golem: Eternity compilation

Ironpants: Getting DP’ed by a Golem isn’t really my choice of fun. Re-released double disc that no one really was waiting for? Still, I would buy this over most of the shit that is released today. 5

Cobal: There are a few groovy moments here and there, and for once, I’m listening to death metal solos that go for twisted melodies rather than the boring shreddy thing. Having said that, why the FUCK did I spend two hours listening to this? 5

Habakuk: Why the fuck would you re-release this material as a compilation? Let alone BUY IT?? 5

sly: Dated, unremarkable yet adequate German death metal. Still, it’s better than all the groove-death-tech-pseudo-tough-guy shit being done today. 6
