: For Kids with Some Problems.../ 9 tracks (Daniel/Tuca/Jones)
2001Is this musik for kids with some problems ? Well, it is not
! This is for those who can mix thrash and hardcore musik. I say
crossover ? Less D.R.I. than Sick of It All and Biohazard influences.
Add Sepultura influences for the musik and the voice and you get
a band which know to play their brazilian hardcore. Brazilian
I said ?...no traditional influences there really except for the
rythmik drums sometimes and an oriental melodie on a track which
remind Black Sabbath. Also, this is very different when the singer
really sing and don't scream. It bring more variations. Hanagorik
prove they know to compose and create with a great sound quality.
This is not their first release and they played in great brazilian
festivals. So, listen to their musikal experience !

Hard
of hearing ' out their first one and promising Ep of 5 titles.
5 titles of violent metal core, melodic and especially very
technical will be enough to put everybody all right: this band
has some future! The excellent and fascinating composition is
linked throughout the titles with a remarkable transparency,
the complexity of the rhythmic is not even an embarrassment
on the contrary! It is the main asset of the band. Although
composition is technical. There is no annoying and boring superfluous
excess which would mask a lack of originality as it is often
the case in this music style. The roarings of the singer are
perfectly controlled and measured, most either no tiredness
of roarings without any sense. By hoping that this EP introduces
a future complete album into the same lineage. The challenge
is thrown for Hard of Hearing! to be followed ..

Hegemon
: By this, I conquer / 9 tracks (A./F./Kreyz/J.B./N.) 2002 After
their first release with Sacral Productions, Hegemon strike back
with a technikal black metal. They chose the Dysphorie french
label this time. This is the first deal for the label well known
for his extreme metal musik store in Paris. Hegemon recorded "By
this, I conquer" into the Montpellier (France) Tymix studio
and they did it so well because all the tracks have a great sound
quality. Quite sound arrangements with a lot of influences as
early Emperor, Gorgoroth, Immortal and Dark Tranquillity opus.
The typical black metal vokals are seconded with death metal addeds
and the mix of melodik variations with their powerful and dark
black metal brutality is the best I listened to this month (december,
2002). The lyriks are influenced with worldwide conflicts and
especially medieval wars. Short classic arpeggios effect a transition
between the tracks before to conquer again with determination
their full of hate epik quest. "By this" they progressed
with brio and deserve all your attention now ! Hegemon is a great
french black "war" metal band. Support them or move
along. I have nothing to add !

Three
obscure death metal bands from Europe inside : Hellspawn comes
from Poland, Hateful from Italy and Impureza from France. Each
of these bands plays brutal metal with differents influences such
as Morbid Angel, Gorefest, Suffocation and Nile. Impureza comes
with flamenco and Deicide as the leading influence and all the
spiritual subjects inspire them. This mix is quite pleasant and
original. Also all the lyrics are in Spanish langage. Nice for
a French band ! Very interesting because they do it to perfection.
I didn’t begin this review with the first band of this stuff.
So, here I go : Hellspawn is not the fictitious creature that
you could imagine from the popular comik book Spawn but a typical
brutal death metal band with a lot of breaks and tempo changes.
When Morbid Angel comes back on the first track of this opus,
you can be sure that you are listening to Hellspawn. Great lead
guitars inside even if it is not very new with this kind of music.
And what about Hateful, the second band of this opus ? Well, they
do likewise and a bit faster than Hellspawn without lead guitars
but with thrash influences. It reminds of old Immolation or even
Sadus sometimes. Maybe not the better sound on this stuff but
yet efficient. All of these bands chose very typical deep vocals
and powerful music without any compromise. It is usual when you
listen to brutal death metal of course but quite enough to make
an opinion. I didn’t know them before and I was not disappointed
especially with Impureza. They should become very stronger with
their next releases. Thus, this stuff has an big interest with
this band. The other bands are more conventional.

: Hypnosis
Title : Seeds of
Fate
Material : CD
Label : Bent records
Year : 2006
Reviewed by : Huruem
Note : 4/5
Hypnosis
is a sort of Frank enstein’s monster, each time you have
a look at it, you see some different parts. Parts that remind
you of other people. If you play this album, lots of different
influences will come to your mind such as Extatic fear, Opeth,
Decapitated, and above all Gojira. Hypnosis is sharing with them
lots of technical patterns, especially in terms rhythm, riffs,
vocals, and atmosphere. Hypnosis is also composed of two vocalist,
a woman and a man, who are both also playing guitars, on bass
player, and it seems that they’re using a drum machine,
even if it’s far from being obvious when you’re listening
to the album. I just thought that the guy was just using some
really cold sounds to trigg the drums and that’s all. This
album is full of little surprises, that makes the 60 minutes of
the album not really horribly boring as most of the album does.
Still it is definetly pretty long and sometimes boring. The funny
thing is that I was often thinking, “year, that’s
cool but if they added that kind of element that would be perfect”,
and 15 seconds later they would. So in other words, Hypnosis is
a really impressive work, that I would definetly recommand to
people seeking for an album in the same vein of Gojira. But still,
Hypnosis has to go on to reach their own sound and atmospheres,
and I’m sure that their next production will be awesome.
