#### 15/04/14 || Global Domination

#### Deadly Carnage: Manthe

Lord K: Now we really know all decent band names are already taken. I have heard worse and more untalented shit, but with some time these guys might be getting there too… 3

Ironpants: One thing that is sligthly worse than deadly carnage, is none-deadly carnage. Cause then you’ll survive, and are forced to listen to deadly boring carnage. 3

sincan: Not pure utter shit, but kind of boring, like the soundtrack of your life. 5

The Duff: A cross between Opeth, Insomnium, My dying Bride/Anathema and Novembre, occasionally Dimmu Borgir “For All Tid” or Negura Bungett. I can do without really – I outgrew this music a while ago, these guys need to trim a lot or mature or something, it is all over the place. 5

Cobal: I always found the minimalistic approach to slow motion metal attention worthy at the very least. On the other hand, the vocals here are frankly off-putting. Fernando Ribeiro would be ashamed… 6,5

Habakuk: For about the duration of one song, I thought this was a 6 It’s a 4.

#### Thy Worshiper: Czarna dzika czerwien

Lord K: The title of this platter makes as much sense as the soooo extremely special music. With a moniker like that you have to play death metal, damnit. 2

Ironpants: For the love of Satan. Folk/black with Polish lyrics? When I´m high on crack this could pass. I don’t do crack so… 2

sincan: Sometimes it’s pretty decent but then they throw in some outrageously ridiculous vocals here and there that makes you wonder about what the fuck you are experiencing. 5

The Duff: Primordial-like Celtic black with some unusual touches akin to Amorphis and straightforward heavy metal. The odd Negura Bungett/Thyrfing moment and odd-ball jangly bits does this record no disservice; I quite dig it, the band has talent for sure. 7

Cobal: Is this the Moonspell-love month or something? 7

Habakuk: Read sincan’s statement again but read a little more disgust into it. 4

#### One Hour Hell: Interfectus

Lord K: Sweden is better at metal than any other country. One Hour Hell is not our finest example though. 5

Ironpants: 40 minutes of hell rather… But the best ones in this heap of crap. 6

sincan: Wow, this was just plain unoriginal until the chorus came, then I injected dry liquid farts into my eyes. 3

The Duff: Tough listening; eight-string djent meets The Red Chord but without the musicianship to carry it; riffs like 0:44 of “Blunt Force Drama” or the opening riff(s) of “Nemesis” show the band’s lack of creativity, lack of experience and yet still wanting to bring something new to the table – live I’m sure these guys aren’t half bad, but this trend of new kids with money sadly has not lived death metal for very long. 3

Cobal: Yeah, this sounds really pissed off. I was already bored and then I heard something like an idiot shrieking to a fan… 4

Habakuk: If I lived in a giant cooking pot turned upside down, this is what death metal would sound like. 5

#### Persefone: Core

Lord K: These guys are kinda impressive. And hysteric. They wanna do everything. All the time. 7

Ironpants: These guys can play, and I think their keyboard player knows that he has found his entourage? He is the one that sets the pace here. And that is also what makes it suck. 4

sincan: This album is relatively new, released 2006. Death piano progressive metal for your pleasure and lube. 6

The Duff: Modern Cradle of Filth meets modern Arch Enemy meets Skyfire (remember those guys?) meets a little goth/keys modern Dimmu-style with chick-vocals. Truly not bad; a reminder of who I was way back when, with hopes and dreams. A double album closing on a Star Wars montage, these guys deserve all the success, they can clearly play. 6

Cobal: I wish I had more time to listen to all that’s happening here! Except the 90s-dance-music-like beats, that’s bullshit. 7

Habakuk: Okay? This isn’t too bad, but style-wise it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. 6

#### Nocturnal Breed: Napalm nights

Lord K: Heavy metal up your arse. 4

Ironpants: Pretty good riffing going on, but the vocals kills it. 5

sincan: Black and thrash hybrid with relatively funny vocals from time to time. I’ll take Nifelheim over this any day. 6

The Duff: Motorhead, early thrash and Darkthrone, actually well-produced. Is he singing about vegetables? This is rocking stuff, derivative, they know that I hope like my wife knows what she’s fucking. 6

Cobal: Throatfucking your vocalist right before recording the opener won’t do… And then I guess belches are supposedly hysterical, uh? 6,5

Habakuk: I think I have four of these guys’ albums. I also think I have to reconsider the criteria for my collection. 5
