Those who want to shoot up a proper decadently depression better betake to another release. Decadence and depression are quite striking conditions. Dekade(nz) is far from it. With its simple chord-scrubbing this album is queuing in the category “unspectacular”. And furthermore I have to get rid of the everywhere pilloried conception DEPRESSION Grind. This sounds more like Death Metal Punk to me revamped up by a few embedded blast-particles. It’s all the more astonishing that the trio based in Lüdenscheid/Bad Kreuznach (Germany) is in the business since 1989. In view of the musical realization I would ascribe this release a newcomer combo than expecting grown men at the instruments. The 15 tracks impress by simple musical expression waving complexity and moments of surprise. Here and then a few doom-parts, some groove, blasts every now and then, the sound turned down low – including vocal chords – this is barely sufficient, neither some shrieks nags in. Dekade(nz) lacks convincing attitude, the kick-ass and fuck off attitude. Rather the listener has the ability to deprive each nascent DEPRESSION quite easily. The performance, simple up to small matter, can be illustrated by the titles awfully good. Tracks like Under The Light Of A Fullmoon (oha), Grave Robbers Robbed My Grave (fucking cool by the way!), In Death I Am Free or To All Whom It May Concern are recovered. One notices that German quality is different usually. It’s the manageable action scope although which channels quite straightforward and saving 5 points on judge’s scale.
