Brutal Jazz Metal, this needs to be described first, before the memories of the sickos Exit 13 rises from the dead: the drums and riffing likely loses itself in the depths of Jazz without being as dominant and blatant in change in style as the US guys did. ENIGMATIK rather nest these chunking in the doubtless keen to experiment Grindcore and Death Metal. And when I say keener to experiment, this is emphasized by the progressive touch, the partial convoluted structures and the intellectual parts, which get out of hand sometimes when the sample parts crowd the musical element out. But when the musical stuff comes to the fore a full attack including straight passages and raging drums is launched as far as possible. And to turn this upside down the Suisse guys strike at least in Metropolis with chill-out fitted moods. Thank goodness has well-nigh to be said, the vocals, doubled in Glen Benton style, stay throughout in the deep growl standard. The sound in its collectivity should arise more compact. In the fist-in your-face parts Slitherin sounds besides itself instead of creating a harmonic oneness. Compressed into 74 minutes all this facts are responsible for this unfrugal album. More passes are needed to catch the stuff Slitherin includes. That ENIGMATIK knows to persuade with their sound and that they stand their ground attests the time since founding. Since 1997 in business this is the fifth release in the meantime after releasing two demos. A release that has to be shortened about the half of playing time for some, maybe the 74 minutes will be too short for other. For me Slitherin is an overkill in experiments. Only the Grind-Death parts don’t justify a saddle-fast good rating for ENIGMATIK.
