trial Metal. Band members recruit fromseveral Death Metal and Grindcore bands;the most renowned of them propablyABORTED from which Diazanon (DaveHaley) on Drums hails.It is difficult to describe THE AMENTA'ssound to anyone not knowing them- becausewhat you will hear here is somethingwhich to my best knowledge has notbeen heard anywhere else before. Searchin vain for catchy melodies, simple songstructuresand the like- what you will findhere is hyperspeed doublebass and extremefast blastbeats as well as Cesium137's growls and screams accompanied byguitars which not so much play melodies,but create eerie, spherical noises.All of this is interrupted by industrialsoundscapes which remind me a bit of theatmosphere in the early Alien-Films. THEAMENTA are sterile, alien, hostile and cold- two bands come to my mind when listeningto them, namely THORNS andZYKLON; combine the cold machinesound of the first with the sreeching, banshee-likeguitarwork from the latter; multiplythat and you reach the soundscapesof THE AMENTA.Only one song could possibly be describedto be in the style of traditional songwriting,which is "Nihil"- a great, double-bassbasedmosh-monster with so much as acatchy melody. The rest of the songs arebest labeled as lightning- fast hymns todestruction. This was not made for humans,or any other organic life. It makesmost of the wannabe-evil-cold Black Metalbands look as if they perform happydance-hymns for birthday parties in comparison.It is brutal, aggressive, dissonantand industrial. If you want easy listening,stay away like hell- this album will disintegrateyour ears. But anyway, as youread this on Avantgarde-Metal you willprobably not expect easy listening... Youhave been warned. I for once await theirsecond album "n0n" which will hopefullybe released this year.I will conclude this with THE AMENTA'sown words:"Extreme music for an age rotting to rags.Do you want traditional? Do you wantsafe? Do you want the sound of a millionbrainless hacks slaving away on thrashsolos learned by rote from guitar magazines?The Amenta is NOT FOR YOU."Tentakel P.THE KOVENANTSetiRelease: 2003Label: Nuclear BlastAvantgenre: Aperitif Rock DigestifDuration: 01:07:29Origin: NorwayOfficial site: http://www.gentechranch.tk/.............................................................................................................................................Today I had a sandwich for lunch.
