I am only writing this review as
a warning to those who might buy it. THIS IS NOT CIRCLE FROM FINLAND! It is
five Finnish musicians from the Death metal scene using the CIRCLE name and
making psychedelic death metal. It actually has nothing to do with Circle
except being released on the label. There are 5 tracks on the record. The title
track starts with like 30 seconds of silence and then some very brutal death
metal blast out to shock you. It has a very low fi production and strange
feeling to it as it pummels you. The mid-section is totally mad with lots of
tortured screams. Infamy has a more melodic start but then hits the road at
breakneck speed. The end is totally crazy with some psychedelic guitar madness.
Wow.. Crazy stuff. Transcending starts off side B with some solo drums before
the heavy stuff kicks in. This is also some intense stuff with the vocals mixed
more in the back and some spoken words as the music is generated in waves. Bloodstreams
is a very short track and returns to the super fast intense death metal of the
first track. Burden has a crazy guitar sound to start things off and then a
deep bass starts a kind of hypnotic groove as it slowly gets more and more
psyched out and intense. Crazy record..
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
