4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, May 8, 2005
This review is from: Cold Black Piece of Flesh (Audio CD)
This is very, very heavy, very technical, creative and innovative death metal from a Christian band from Germany, who are just honest and sincere and don't try to force their beliefs down anyone's throat. The vocals are deep, unique and very front-up in the mix, not buried. Vocals are kind of spoken, very controlled, like a public service announcement, hard to get used to but it grows on you, I like it. Riffs are medium to fast pace, the band tries to do everything at once and so much is happening (although minimal blastbeats). The third song lasts over eight minutes and it is great. Best songs Come Closer and Existence.
The production is first class. The lyrics are nearly understandable. One song is in German, the rest in English. It can be ordered through Whirlwind Records in Germany and Soundmass in Australia. New Cd just released "Escaping the Stupor" was somewhat of a let-down compared to this one - death growls are now mixed with black-metal shrieks and I don't think it works. Also lyrics are no longer truly Christian except in one song.
