### S(crap)s: Desdinova / Nation Despair / Panychida

#### 26/02/14 || Global Domination

#### Desdinova: Defying gravity

sly: The French version of your local, generic “thrash” metal band influenced by Metallica, Iced Earth, and bad Testament with a douchey Guillaume Hetfield on vocals. Defying originality. 3

Lord K: Whoever decided to bring this vocalist in on top of extremely weak half-thrash metal should be slapped silly. With a limp dick. 3

#### Nation Despair: Only embers left

sly: Competent Finnish melodic death metal by 19-year-olds for 19-year-olds. 6.5

Lord K: Not hysterically bad by any means, and with some more years in the rehearsal room they might even start to sound more than just decent. 5

#### Panychida: Grief for an idol

sly: Pompous Czech Norwegian-sounding black metal that ranges from grandiose and epic to downright cheesy and risible. Just one question: why the synthesized bagpipes? 5

Lord K: I promise that I will call you all when I start to give a shit about fairly uninteresting, synthesized semi-blackish metal. With bagpipes. 4
