Watch Me Bleed: Souldrinker

22/10/09  ||  Kampfar

Watch Me Bleed rhymes with Creed, though the latter is a worse band indeed. By quite a stretch even. Then again, being tenfolds better than the worst band since New Kids On The Block ain’t a feat worth writing home about unless your parents happen to live in a home made of cardboard boxes held together by shit. Nah, I’m in exaggeration mode once again – in other words, I’m sorry to report that it would be a bloody lie to claim these Germans to be entirely lost in space. Yep, they know what they are doing, bravo, but since this is stand-up-for-yourself core I happen to care fuck all and then a little less.

But since I signed up to do this, that since right above can go fuck itself. Now watch me pretend to care and utterly fail at it.

“Souldrinker” is a honest effort in the end not worth the strive. Future albums could prove me wrong, everyone needs a start and all that bullshit, and what I just said I don’t really believe. Blah, they do their best to spice up the core at hand, even skills are put into the effort, but when a decent blast-passage – we are talking “Bloodred rain” here – is followed by lazy rap-core I lost hope of utter enjoyment before the band was even started. And, when I hear the vocalist do these very words: “667, neighbor of the beast“, this very me wants to kill itself.

Lazy rap-core is not a mode Watch Me Bleed resides in very often, but sometimes they do, and when they don’t they are properly decent not all too often.
