BLOOD (Ger): “Depraved Goddess” Cd 1996 s/p

RECENSORE: Unknown

VOTO: 8,00/10

DURATA:


One of the things that strike

most of BLOOD is that they’ve been playing for 15 years and have recorded

dozens of releases and fuck, they never wrote a bad song in all this

time. It’s pretty unlikely to find such integrity and non-stop dedication

to this music and bands that are able to be this prolific without passing

bad periods. But here it is, another full length CD and surprisingly,

self produced as well. Top notch production, full bodied vocals and

a barrage of intense, slamming riffs makes this new BLOOD release on

par with their previous works. Their Death Metal crushes any OBSCENITY

and American-like slam Death band to pulp, songs might not be overly

complex but are really heavy, and basically devastating. Clausi’s vocals

are sometimes paired with some strangled high screams in the old NAPALM

DEATH/BRUTAL TRUTH way though not that rasping and not that often. Lyrics

are generally violent and straight and in the main against Christianity

and religion (which also explains the crucified rat on the cover and

the anti-catholic drawing on the jewel case) in general, in a way an

opus against these child brain organizations. Fuck Christ.
