The
first band to release an album through the newly formed label Diamond
Production is Kabbal, a French death metal that started out in 1999. For some
reason French metal bands haven't reached any major success worldwide yet
even though there are apparently some good bands down there such as Antaeus,
Seth, Nightmare and Penumbra. Labels such as Season Of Mist, Adipocere Records
and Osmose Productions have nonetheless put France on the metal map for real.
The first band that pops to mind when listening to the debut album from Kabbal
is without a doubt Morbid Angel. Death influences can also be heard and in
some songs you can clearly distinguish thrashier Slayer riffing. I don't know
if these guys are big Suffocation fans but "Synthetically Revived" is
actually a song from that band's album "Pierced From Within" (1995). Kabbal
manage to impress me slightly with their brutal and technical death metal. It
is well played, well produced and the Deicide-like vocals sound very good. It
lacks that little extra but it is a brutal, intense and interesting quality
release worth to check out for fans of technical Florida death metal. Being
such a young band Kabbal is certainly one of the most promising French metal
bands at the moment.
