Rebirth The
Metal has done it again! This is the second volume of this underground
label that has set loose upon the masses. 18 tracks of pure brute
force, ready to put you in a choke-hold and tear your inhibitions
away. No wonder this label is called Rebirth The Metal, cause
they are bringing metal to the new age. Taking tracks from their
top-priority releases and "borrowing" a few tracks from
other labels, this release is a heavy answer to the not-so-good
music being released by the mainstream labels. So let’s
venture on to the music that makes this disc an awesome find.
Opening into
an onslaught of pure aggression, PURGATORY's
Death World Struggle, is an anthem for anyone with a
taste for anti-social human suffering. A black/death attack taken
from their album Luciferianism (available
Animate Records 2004). Leaping into the 2nd track off this brutal
abyss of unrelenting metal is BITTERNESS' Self-fulfilling
Prophecy, taken from the album Autumn's Fall,
like a reminiscent of Old Man's Child with a more thrashy approach
to the vocals, adding bits of thrash and black metal into a masterpiece
of this stunner. A-TEAM's Cannibalized Morality
is a brutal death explosion with enough crushing power to bring
tears to old ladies eyes. Funerals are always a depressing scene
and OPHIS takes the devastation one step further
with Funeral (track 5). Doom metal the way it’s
meant to be, depressive and imaginative. Rotting Orifice Cunnilingus
sounds wonderful (eeewwwwwwww!), but TORN TO PIECES
has made it even better. As weird as that sounds, a headbang worthy
release meant to not only disgust anyone who hears it, but also
to make those select few who understand this type of music feel
the need to bash themselves in the head with... well... a rotting
orifice. If you like doing that sort of thing. I'll just sit here
and headbang. Moving on. Chainsaws are useful inventions, they
make lumberjacks jobs easier, and they make good subjects in songs.
Remember Jackal? You know you blasted that song in your stereo
a few times, admit it!! But, this death metal attack by MORPHOSYS
has made an entire ode to the damn things, entitled Ode To
My Chainsaw. Starting out - you guessed it - with chainsaw
sounds (clever), moving on to kick you in the teeth with their
nuclear assault that is their brand of death metal. POWER
is BADASS! Old school death metal! These guys are scary enough
looking, but damn are they kickass. Bludgeoning you with 28,
taken from their album Thrashblitz.
And that’s what this track is, a thrashblitz from hell.
ZEROED's Hategate is an atomic detonation of
brutal death metal not meant to be looked over. SILENTIUM
NOCTIS' Bona Deas Hauch is a black/death masterpiece
with awesome talent. High vocals, Low vocals, and keyboards make
this track not only interesting but also diverse. MOONFOG's
Bloody Memories is a brutal death attack not meant for
those with a weak heart. Blood. War. Devastation. That's what
comes to mind when listening to this barbarously imaginative metal
classic. Ending this journey into underground metal is THE
DAMNATION with a track taken from their first full-length
release coming soon in 2006, entitled Dawn Of The Dead.
I'm currently sitting here wondering if this is what Hell is going
to sound like. More than likely, yes. Dark, hypnotic and depressive.
This death metal track is meant to ensnare the senses with pure
evil.
