Silent Obssession is a technical brutal death metal project hailing from Algeria and it is always nice to have bands from countries not so near and distant scenes we don´t know much about. There are three songs on this little opus, one being kinda intro and other two, namely End of an Era and Exhausted Resources being a mixture of brutality through well executed musicianship and atmosphere of hopeless despair. End of an Era is more straightforward old school death metal destroyer, while Exhausted Resources is more technical, even groovy in parts with some thrash metal influences thrown in here and there for good measure. Great death metal from distant Algeria.
Hateful Monday from Switzerland were already represented on the pages of this zine when I featured the review of their live record. This time, the guys released their new two songs e.p. The title song is phenomenal, sounds like a cross between Bad Religion, No Use For A Name with fantastic chorus just made for singing along full of harmonies and energy. Fast and awesome song! Dark Sunday is nineties skatepunk influenced song, sounding a bit melancholic in main melody, fast drumming and nice lyrics. I love this band. Hope some more new music comes anytime soon!
