Admiring the Scenery of Nice Abomination
Abominattion
has been formed on the ashes of Anesthesia in 1998. Even if the line-up hasn’t
been changed except the drummer, the Brazilians served modification of their
musical style. The interesting hybrid of thrash and death known from “Burning
Souls” demo felt into oblivion almost completely and this time death metal is
on the scene, mostly in the vein of their countrymen from Krisiun. The
confirmation of such thesis is the opening song “Hated by the Flames”, however
Abominattion (yes, there’s double ‘t’ letter!) doesn’t use blast beats as often
as Krisiun does. Suliani brothers show several slow-downs, and the proneness to
play more complex guitar structures is audible. The melodic layers stick to my
mind even if in this track thrash influences are gone here. The next one is
different, yes, it has faster ravager beginning and seems to be a merciless
killer by killing tempo only. But what a misleading impression! The second part
is maintained in slower tempos with great Slayer-like riffs, but the best here
is the second guitar lead. Absolutely astonishing. And all these components
make this song a truly killing piece of metal. Even now, while listening to
“The Emptiness of the Flesh”, it strikes my senses without any mercy.
That’s for
sure that name changing determined more brutal music. However I wasn’t wondering
about the reasons to play such kind of (fashionable at that time) metal. Maybe
the worldly underground didn’t put his huge interest on Anesthesia sufficiently,
or maybe the change has been caused by simple human musical impulse. Anyway,
these two pieces really kicked my death metal ass, and the band was sure about
such a fan’s condition, as the songs found the place on the forthcoming debut
album. But this is another story…
