After a few demos, MindGrinder
has finally released “Mindtech.” This is their debut album
and it features former and session musicians from Windir, Zyklon,
and Source of Tide. With that said, you can tell that these guys know
how to make dark music. “Mindtech” is mostly a death and
black cross, but you can see few elements from industrial as well.
Their roots seem to lie somewhere between Morbid Angel, Incantation,
Emperor, and Dissection. They seem to like the death metal style the
most. All the songs have points of grandeur, but some of the riffs
seem to cut the flow a little. Those are usually signs of a band that
haven’t put out much material or a band early in their career,
so we can expect more from MindGrinder. As for now, the best the band
has to offer is an assortment of decent to good tracks, including
“Regeneration,” “Deception” and “Soul
Inferno.” Not that the other tracks are bad, it’s just
those ones stood out for me. I’m sure “Mindtech”
will be commended by most death and black metal fans, so get off your
ass and check it out! Rating: 79 |
