Neocrima is a
band from Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, that consists of four guys
in their early twenties. The band was formed in the fall of 1999 but all of
the members have previously been playing in other rock and metal bands.
Considering the fact that this demo was actually recorded at their home studio
with only a personal computer the sound quality is amazingly good. The only
thing that doesn't sound too good is the vocals. This is also the reason why
there are only artificial drums on this recording even though the band has a
drummer of their own. Neocrima is in its foundation a melodic and very
technical death metal band but as shown on this demo they are definitely not
afraid of mixing all kinds of influences into their music. The opening track
is a very beautiful instrumental that displays the technical skills of the
band. The second track is a rather basic death metal song but it also sounds
fairly good. The third track is a slow atmospheric track which features both
nice female vocals as well as the traditional growls. Then comes the fastest
track, a song in true At The Gates style but also with some great Iron Maiden
sounding melodies. This is one of the best, most atmospheric and emotional
melodic death metal releases I've ever heard and I could have never guessed
that Kyrgyzstan could give birth to a band like
this!
