Anmod... ce skeud est en train de me trouer le cul...
edit : review trouve sur le net Brazilian grinding death metallers Anmod don't
quite sound as most of their contemporaries. Whereas most Brazilian
death metal bands (Abhorrence, Krisiun, Mental Horror, the Ordher, etc)
specialize in lightspeed genre exercises Anmod sound more European as
their attack is more deliberately paced. Anmod sound more like a mix of
"False" era Gorefest and "Blessed Are the Sick" era Morbid Angel with
the urgency of "From Enslavement to Obliteration" era Napalm Death.
There's a definite grind influence although it is fairly understated in
the majority of the material present on this album. The thick riffing,
on both bass and guitar, alongside the straightforward, no-frills
drumming easily place Anmod in league with Vader for sheer intensity.
All tracks are carefully structured and the band's instrumental prowess
adds a bludgeoning schwung to the material. Despite being a power trio
Anmod is able to produce a massive sound that puts many of its
contemporaries to shame. There's little place to catch a breath on this
record as Anmod grinds, thrashes and grooves its way through the
material at a ridiculous pace. The production is excellent with a thick
guitar tone that is as heavy as it is clear. The bass can be heard and
the drums possess all the power they need without becoming overbearing
in the process. Artwork, design and lay-out are a bit unspectacular but
nevertheless it fits this album rather nicely. This is the debut many
bands can only dream of making.
