Malignant Thermonuclear Supremacy
Sarinvomit
Days before I write these lines, I wrote about bands with nasty sound qualities. It's a strategy that many bands use to have a similar sound to their musical influences, and there are those that only get terrible results acting this way. But there are those that can create excellent works, dealing with danger of becoming ridiculous in every step until the album is released. But let me tell you: Turkish quartet SARINVOMIT, from Istanbul (Turkey), came to rip your lungs and crush your bones with their first album, the mischievous "Malignant Thermonuclear Supremacy".
It's a Black/Thrash Metal band, so be prepared for a massive extreme assault. Their music is extremely simple in terms of musical arrangements, with the rhythm being fast in the greater part of time (besides they show some slow tempos as well), and with strong influences from Hardcore. Of course you'll remind of ancients like BEHERIT, SARCÓFAGO and old SODOM, due the crude approach they use. But they are an excellent band, prepared to storm through any barriers. And their music will hook you for sure! But for SJW, stay away, because these guys will rip your guts with their razor-sharped songs! Recorded, mixed & mastered by Erhan Kabakci and Can Gelgec in Jamsession Studios, and they built a brutal and crude sound quality that fits on their musical work. But unlike many that try to be dirty and raw to the extreme, they used a wise balance between what the band needed for its music with a aesthetics that allows the fans to understand their songs. And As I wrote above, it fits in what they are doing (but the drums could be better equalized, I must say).
Brutal, nasty and extreme, this album is really excellent, having as their fine assaults "Perishing in Eternal Void" (excellent hooking guitar riffs and nasty vocals, playing on a high speed), the extreme blow called "One Trillion Megaton" (another extremely fast song, with some slow parts where drums and bass shows their good work), "Splendid Radioactive Particles" (excellent tempos, and how these guys know how to be oppressive in some parts, and these vocals are insane), "Sarinvomit" and its very good rhythmic changes and great grunts, and the brutal genocide act called "Destructive Solar Flare". But the entire album is an act of defiance, a true mass murdering album!
If on their first album they show all this musical talent, the future is promising for SARINVOMIT. A better sound quality (just a bit, a bit clearer sound, not so much) will take them to the top!
