VOICES
FROM THE DARK SIDE 2007
NOMINON
Remnants Of A Diabolical History
(Pulverised Records)
43:15min
Announced
by the band as "the ultimate cavalcade of Death
Metal hits from beyond“, this mixed bag of rare,
previously only on vinyl available tracks by this
long-standing underground heroes took some time to
see the dark of night. After some trouble with incompetent
labels, which these guys probably had more than enough
of during their 13 years in existence, Pulverised
finally unleashed this collection of re-recorded,
unreleased or hard to find tunes by one of Sweden’s
best kept secrets in terms of oldschool Death Metal.
It contains mostly material from their promo CD back
from 1997 and the “Blaspheming The Dead”
EP, covers by acts such as REPULSION, VOIVOD or WHIPLASH
(vinyl-bonus from their last full-length) and then
some. The sound-quality varies but their sinister
approach to the death-cult, somewhere between KAAMOS
and SADISTIC INTENT, combined with a huge slab of
Thrash (‘Sodom’s Fall’!!) never
fails to convince. Personal highlights: the new versions
of ‘Blaspheming The Dead’ and ‘Servants
Of The Moonlight’. In conclusion this collection
serves as a nice little gem for the die-hards as well
as a cool introduction to the work of a truly dedicated
horde, which deserves your support far more than overrated
retro-acts such as BLOODBATH or DEATH BREATH (when
it comes to the latter, luckily tastes are different…
