some random review of shitty blessed offal promo[views:2393][posts:11]________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 6:43pm - blessed offal ""] BLESSED OFFAL (Usa) 2009 promo. CDr. Here's a quite short review for a quite cool promo. This Us band plays obscure Death metal à la INCANTATION, I'm especially thinking about "Mortal throne of Nazarene" (For some epic rawness in the blasting battles), with a little of ANGEL CORPSE ("Hammer of gods"), mixed with excerpts of BAPHOMET/ BANISHED in some heavy/ mid placed patterns... And maybe some little eruptions from old EXHUMED (Split w/ HEMDALE). The quite deaf, yet quite cool, heavy sounding production could make them comparable to ARCHGOAT (90's). The two last songs have a different sound, more like a rehearsal, with much fewer bass frequencies... Which makes it sound like black metal (Bad idea, if it was volunteer). This is not a definitely crushing collection of crunching reekordings, BLESSED OFFAL takes the form of an "usual" band of the kind and everything doesn't seem perfect yet, but there's enough transpiration and nice atmospheres to listen in brutal obscurity and imagine their upcoming release could fire some sulfur from your corroded skeleton. Hope this CDr is a nice appetizer for future destruction! http://www.myspace.com/blessedoffal inaccurate comparisons are inaccurate |

It occurs chiefly at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis." http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Transpiration.html |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 8:06pm - blessed offal ""] i hate when someones entire description of a band/release is based on comparisons to other bands. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 9:19pm - the_reverend ""] that review is just like the washington post's review section if they used the english of the brazilian metal magazine metal horde. i found a few of the comparisons spot on with what metal sucks would say minus the sarcasm, but with the poinient references of one of the big names similar to decibel. in the end, his use of brevity is closer to the canada mag (RIP) unrestrained!. |
