Rome was not
built in a day. Hailing from Switzerland their own death metaller
known as CENSORED are already around since 1994,
though, they just released their second demo release with System
Disease. For that they attached great importance
to quality, instead of unleashing just half worked out goods in
bulk no one would have been aware of.
However, System Disease fully convinces!
That is a demo release, where everything is on the right place,
in the right time. Almost perfect! System Disease
offers a brutal and powerful production, skilled musicians and
a well-designed cover and booklet plus profound lyrics... what
more you can get? Four brute tracks with partly raving blast parts,
partly progressive elements and all destroying riff work. Great!
;) Regarding the singing, raw screaming dominates with deep growls
in between as second voice. But I actually do not know where the
growls come from. It might be the “alter ego” of singer
and 4-stringer Manuel or one of the other members. Anyways, thrashings
never gains the upper hand, everything is well-balanced and pleases
the listener. Even more! It should not take more than 30 seconds
to get the people freakin’ out ;)
System Disease gets added by a bonus
track, a pure piano played instrumental, really beautiful, fragile
and morbid. A classic funeral march adaptation with the lovely
suiting title This Cold World Is Dead.
Ok peeps, this goes to every death metal fan: you have to check
out this peace of great music! And be prepared for a full-length
record!
