Enter My Silence

"Remotecontrolled Scynthe"
(Mercenary Musik/World War III) 

This CD blew me away for weeks when I got it. Very potent Crack-Up-ish metal, but with more attention to inserting progressive metal elements to break up the aggressive vocalist growling. How easy it would have been, as a reviewer, to chalk this release up as a nothing more than a tribute. Unfortunately, tracks like "Irrelevant" and "Split" too much of a musical journey. The powerful crunchy of the bass on "Mindfill Effect" grooves like only a death metal band really can. Yes, groove and death metal. There's no blast beats, the vocalist doesn't growl in the grindcore style, and the guitars are constructing riffs. This band, along with bands like Diabolical and Hypnos and even Mork Gryning, are part of a new breed of death metal that is putting musicianship into the genre
