Tales Of Darknord - Dismissed album cover

My mother maybe disagree, but I believe that I am a hardworking, generous and with enough feeling of responsibility boy. Establishment of that is my soundless way of reaction when I have to review such albums.

The history of Russian's TOD (Tales Of Darknord) begins in 1991 when the guitarist of the group, Alex Kantemirov, planned to organize a project meeting his views on life and music. From this time TOD recorded eight demos and albums with the most famous (!!!) 'Endless Sunfall' album, which was released in 1998 and sold more than 5000 copies worldwide.

So, I guess here we have their ninth mini-CD release called 'Dismissed'. Six songs, aggressive, brutal and raw. Opener 'Nonsense' is just like a typical death / grind core track. Fast guitar riffs, a bass that continuously solos (!!!) in the middle of nowhere, and the common brutal vocals with the typical 'war' acclamation. Then comes the title track 'Dismissed', same as usual... fast guitars, fast bass, brutal vocals as above. OK because I don't want to babble all the time for this album, I am telling you only this: If you like fast death / grind core metal with aggressive attitude and feeling, if you like brutal and raw vocals with no sense (I mean what in the hell is he singing about? I was even reading the lyrics and I didn't manage to understand nothing at all), if you like a mix of Cannibal Corpse and Malevolent Creation but in their worst times, than you should probably hear them. That's all folks!
