I don't know if this mini album is
actually called "Mykorrhiza" but that is my guess at least. This new Swedish
band consists of Henrik "Hempa" Brynolfsson from the recently resurrected
Excruciate on guitars and bass, Anders Strokirk from Blackshine on vocals and
Martin Karlsson on drums. I know very little about the band but I think this
is their first recording and even though it is being released through the
small Singapore based label Konqueror Records it should be looked upon more as
a good demo cd. As you may or may not know Blackshine started out as a death
metal band under the name Hetsheads back in the golden days for Swedish death
metal and Anders Strokirk has now found a band where he can return to his
roots. Mykorrhiza play brutal, intense and ultra-dynamic death metal in the
Necrophobic vein. The thing that gives this band a somewhat different overall
sound is that Strokirk varies his voice a lot from distorted screams to death
growls to semi-clean ones. The album was recorded at Studio Blackshine and
even though it is a rather rough production it sounds great. One of the most
promising "newcomer" bands I've heard in a while. They will probably not be
offered a deal by Hammerheart or Steamhammer / SPV but I think other companies
would want a band to compete with Necrophobic. A record contract should not be
far away for these guys. Stand-out track: "Going Away", "Another
Dimension".
