REVIEW: Anphisbenah - Initiates The Horrendous M.M. Hardgore Music, 1999
6.5/10
Anphisbenah - Initiates The Horrendous - cover art By the name of the band, the song titles and the additional fact that this band hails out of Brazil you might be guessing that this is a death metal outfit of the more brutal kind and if so you have done you are absolutely right. This album could be a very good album indeed and the band has the potential to strike big but due to a not-so-perfect production process and a slight tendency of falling into the death metal conformity trap the musical talent is not really done justice here. Anphisbenah do have a lot of talent and there are some great technical and melodic riffing on this album, especially on the opening and closing tracks. The vocals are very dark and quite the opposite of Dani Filth from Cradle if you would want to make a weird comparison, perhaps a little too dark for my taste. As I have already said this is a band that deserves a better production and if they can achieve this with their future recordings Anphisbenah may very well become a band of world class, not only musically but also soundwise.
