Phobos (Guitars/Vocals/Programming)
A one-man band hailing from France, created by Phobos, a talented musician & songwriter who is/has been involved in various underground bands.
This is a limited edition Cd & Cassette crammed full of old school death metal.
The lyrics are influenced by Clive Barker & Edgar Allan Poe.
To be honest I usually avoid these one band death/black metal releases as they tend to be a shadow of what a full band can achieve, that said as far as I am concerned the magic words here were Clive Barker, so time, as they say, to hit play and turn up the volume.
We kick off with a brief sample from a movie and then launch into manic riffs, pounding drumming and death growls and from this point onwards it pretty much keeps up this break neck pace.
A relentless onslaught of power, each song bringing with it another sledgehammer blow to the skull.
However the lead guitar breaks seem slightly out of place, like Kerry King on a bad day they just don't quite fit, everything else is perfectly balanced and well produced.
As for the lyrical influence, such is the level of aggression they could be anything,no degree of clarity (or lyric sheet) available to find out if Poe & Barker are present.
Aside from my personal view, if you want just over half an hour of well executed death metal that does not compromise, then this is for you.
Rating 7/10
For fans of: Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Mortician
