Meet Thy Final Death!
This demo
came to me together with the previous The Dead Goats title. And after so many
pleasant moments with the children of the fungus and their bizarre biology, the
whole content of “Ferox” isn’t a surprise for me. Modestly released on cdr,
with xeroxed cover, it is limited to 300 hand-numbered copies (also the tape is
available with the limitation of 100 copies). Musically this Bialystok travel
agency offers old school death metal with the stamp of mighty Sweden. As
compared to the previous stuff, there are two intros (one from old “Dracula”
movie, it precedes the first song and it works here really good!), the titles
became shorter and there is no such a song like “Children of the Fungus”. The
rest is without a change. Speaking of the production way, “Ferox” has been
recorded during two days only, but it has a proper force to devastate my
speakers.
Hm… the
rest is without a change… Yeah, because the new tunes are also played in a killer
way, again served by simple means, again with an ancient touch, again without any
redundant musical notes. Just three straightforward shots. And all right, let’s
see, the last piece has rather slow tempo, but its heaviness is really
overwhelming the senses. And only after three minutes, the goats wake up to
present some hysteric kind of vokills. Then we have a comeback to these
marching passages. In turn, “Bonesower” has a beautiful relevancy to Entombed,
especially in slower rhythms played after 3:05 – ah, I just love it! Generally
the band has a specific ‘lightness’ in creating such recognizable tunes. And it
refers to the guitar layers and the chorus parts: both things breathe together
giving a deathly piece of metal. But what a pity! “Ferox” has somewhat less
than fourteen minutes only, in addition two minutes are taken by mentioned
introduction. Demo gets my mind unobstructed, causing serious beautiful damages.
It runs too fast, but it makes me push the button ‘play’ once again to feed me.
However I look into the future hopefully. Soon, by Selfmadegod label, another
goatish anthem will be thrown to the underground viscera. It’s time for a 7”
split with Revel in Flesh. I started to count the days out…
But now the
bonesower is knocking at my door’s haven… The final death is approaching…
