### S(crap)s: Barbarian / Need / Furor / For A Dozen Matters / Nyksta

#### 07/04/14 || Global Domination

#### Barbarian: Faith extinguisher

Lord K: This is the result of getting a bunch of semi-mongoloids into a room, hand them instruments and let them write songs. You’ll end up with shitty kindergarten riffs you’ve heard a million times before. 3

Ironpants: No bullshitting here. Bad to the bone speed/heavy metal with really harsh vocals 5

Cobal: Nothing mind-blowing here, but I have a weakness for primitive metal myself. Now, apparently that’s all these people ambition in life, so I suppose it’s alright. 6

Habakuk: Fucken Barbarian. Now that’s a metal name. And there go all my bonus points. 6

sincan: Wow, Italian good music. I’m not surprised since the country has been delivering great music to Global Domination during my days here, but this speed’n‘thrash’n‘black is on another level with its riffomaniagroove. 7

#### Need: Orvam – A Song for Home

Lord K: Is that a Hammond I hear? Then go fuck yourself and take your “progressive” music with you. Actually, I have heard worse. 4

Ironpants: 3 bands from Attica, Greece in this edition of S(crap)s, one should go. I choose this one to be the roadies for Furor and For A Dozen Matters. Boring half-progressive metal with longer songs than my messed up brain can handle. 4

Cobal: Technically, the guy can sing, but his poppy-approach to metal annoys me to the bone. Other than that and an eventual depuration of unnecessary songs/parts, this is actually not bad, right guys? … Guys? 6

Habakuk: Trim your songs, and I might be more interested. 5

sincan: Progressive and easy listened rock, come and grab! 4

#### Furor: Blind faith revolver

Lord K: You know what, I fucken hate metalcore. With a passion. You can’t deny it’s somewhat well executed though, no matter how I feel about the genre. I get small The Haunted w/Dolving vibes at times. That must be unintentional. 4

Ironpants: A mix between metalcore and groove metal. Good at some places, shitty in others 5

Cobal: No! 4

Habakuk: Surprisingly good for a metalcore act, but still a metalcore act. 6

sincan: Highly above average in the cumbucked ocean of metalcore and rim jobs. Still, not fun at all. 4

#### For A Dozen Matters: The Hell That Follows

Lord K: One of my cats would be able to fire up a better production. What a shame since this is actually not half-bad. 6

Ironpants: Is the drumkit from Toys´R´Us? Still, working up some nice grooves, with a better production they could actually make it. 6

Cobal: The songs are like bourbon shots: While the Mrs might find it boring that you stick to your booze, you just don’t feel like ordering anything else. 7

Habakuk: Coroner had that intro about 30 years ago. Shit. I was ready for a rant, but the music is actually good. 7

sincan: Pretty interesting groove here and the tempo is surprisingly slow compared to the previously mentioned groove de la groove. I nod in approval. 6

#### Nyksta: Lieka tiek sienos

Lord K: Ridiculous. 2

Ironpants: Post black – post good 4

Cobal: The worst thing of writing for this section is that it gives me away – once more – as the misfit that I am. 6

Habakuk: I could continue listening to this. Or do something else. Like, sleep. Mmmh sleep. 5

sincan: Mostly uninteresting, too “modern” for my taste. 5
