Dim Mak means 'death touch' and is
an ancient martial arts technique that consists of striking certain points on
the body to cause illness or death. Dim Mak is also the name of an American
death metal band that rose out of the ashes of Ripping Corpse. In 1999 they
released their debut album "Enter The Dragon" through the Singapore based
label Dies Irae Productions and now, three years later, they finally return
with a new creation. This album pretty much continues in the same vein as
their previous one with high velocity brutality, intense riffing and rough
apocalyptic growling. The whole package comes with a nice solid production
done by the band's long time friend and former members of Ripping Corpse Erik
Rutan. The song structures are well thought out and the songs are performed by
some very skilled death metal musicians, something that gives the album a very
professional appearance. I don't know if this is enough to cause any illness
or death but it is nevertheless a good solid brutal death metal release that
should please many fans of the genre. It does however not offer that much new
to the scene and I am not too fond of the vocals myself. Please note that the
cover art shown here is for the American release through Olympic Recordings.
The European release from Danish based Mighty Music comes with different
artwork.
