(BOG REVIEW) - "HATESPHERE" (DEATH THRASH) - "GUILLOTINE" (RELEASED OCTOBER 9TH, SCARLET RECORDS)

Image
A band Bog isn’t too familiar with, Stenchers. He knows of them and who they are, but as always, Bog is looking purely at the music and its sonic value. Guillotine was a difficult experience, and there wasn't too much Bog energy on display while listening. Musically speaking, this isn't a terrible standard in terms of musicianship, composition, mixing, mastering, frequencies, riffs, drumming patterns, and breath control from the vocalist.  Everything is synced and timed well. Stenchers, you may experience a different vibe than Bog, but Guillotine is an album that doesn't have that punch or enough grime contained within the sound. So, let's try to scribe some positives about the best/stand out tracks, or at least say why even those didn't grab the muck maw. 4. Morbid - is probably the banger from the album, but there are some issues with it. It is fast, direct, thrashy, and has a hardcore vibe coming through the music, then we reach 0:50 seconds to a complete ...

(BOG REVIEW) "ELEKTRIKILL" (INDUSTRIAL/DARK ELECTRO) "MACABRE MASQUERADE" (RELEASED SEPTEMBER 1ST, EVOL MUSIC GROUP)

Image
1. Macabre Masquerade The intro begins with a dark, atmospheric tone featuring a demonic narration welcoming us to a   Macabre Masquerade , reminding us to watch out for vampires and demons, and to beware that ghosts have infiltrated our machines. The narrator also reminds us, the wolves are howling, their appetite insatiable, warning that you may get a visit from the dark one himself in this hellhole. The track runs with the atmosphere above from 0:00 to 0:25 until the drum drops at 0:25, which is nicely done. It sets a growing mood, which is of a lurking presence until the narration arrives. Imagine a sinister hype man announcing the run of events for the night. This drum drop continues throughout the track, emphasizing the narrator’s words as if someone were striking percussion as he speaks. At 1:37, the narrator announces that eternity is a long time, and Bog really liked how ELEKTRIKILL set up this outro from what is essentially a giant build. At 1:42, the dem...
