乐队列表 Deathcore KASK Brutal Abstraction

It’s accepted now that there is Deathcore and Deathcore. On one hand, you have the “teen-selling" acts with the stupid band names like Bring Me The Horizon or Veil Of Maya and on the other hand the guys that semantically really play Deathcore. Deathcore, as the name implies, is the encounter between Death Metal and Hardcore and not some "emo" thing and is best personified by bands like Dying Fetus or Misery Index.

K.A.S.K., from Poland, would rather fall into the latter category. Brutal Abstraction, their first EP released in 2011, following a first demo in 2008, displays music that one could consider a fair marriage between the aforementioned Misery Index and other Polish band Alienacja.

There’s still one issue here. Even though K.A.S.K plays the "good" kind of Deathcore, they're still light-years to sounding like their elders Dying Fetus or Skinless. And I hate to write it plainly but I find their music rather boring. The main issue here lies in the sound of the EP: everything is over-produced, from Wafel’s vocals that completely sound over-mixed to uninspired riffing heard a million times before, the mad violence and anger that the aforementioned bands became famous here is just diluted.

It’s not that you won’t be able to listen throughout the whole EP but chances are you won’t be able to distinguish one track from the other. And when it ends you may as well remember not a god damn thing out of it which clearly in my rating system make it a mediocre record and one I will not want to play very often.

I think if you’re a fan of the said genre, it’s still worth giving these guys a try by visiting their myspace page and maybe, eventually, some will comment here that I have figured it all wrong. See for yourself.
