Let’s say you live in Colombia. Let’s say you want to be in a
Metal band. If you believe in predetermination, this means just one thing. You’ll be end up playing
Black Death Metal, because you’ll be wanting to crush the weight of
God’s religion, the corruption of officials, the violence of everyday life. Clichés? Sure, but let’s be honest, 8 out of 10 South American extreme bands have taken a pissing contest and are all rage and war and fuck you Jesus until someone will finally kick
Krisiun and Sarcofago in the balls and say “Bros, make some room, we’re the new shit.”
Ranting? Yeah, right.
Far from the truth? Think again. Obviously if you’re into “my band blasts more than yours” kind of bands, South America is probably the greatest place on
Earth. Songwriting? Vade retro, Bro, we’re crushing and that’s all there is to it. If
Nepente wanted to add more clichés than their choice of music and place of origin, guess they only needed a made in Hertz sound. Which they went for. Already buried between
Ravager,
The Ordher, Raebelliun and
Hacavitz, the band chose to sound like
Hate and
Azarath as well. Put in some
Marduk for good Black measure, and that’s it, shake nicely until everything’s rounded to the point of “I couldn’t be more generic if I wanted to”.
The occasional “original” riff, on The
Swamp, for instance, will make you raise an eyebrow every once in a while but other than that this is your regular apocalypse-laden
Brutal semi-Technical
Black Death Metal. It’s fast, it’s brutal, no doubt about that, but it’s also totally uninspired (and yes, Hertz didn’t make it any better) and mindless and totally forgettable.
Next.
