REVIEW: SHADOWBREED - ONLY SHADOWS REMAIN

 

SHADOWBREED - ONLY SHADOWS REMAIN (Painkiller Recs. - 2001): Great death metal band from Holland!.This is death metal in the vein of Unleashed, Morbid Angel, old Sepultura or maybe Bolt Thrower. Crunchy rhythms and fast leads are trademarks of this style and Shadowbreed has that and much more (see as an example the CD opener "Warcraft (After 2001 Stories)"). A great guitar riff opens great song "In the Shadow of Ygdrassil" with rhythms to bang your head with. This band is supporting legendary dutch death metal band Thanatos in a tour through the Netherlands now and it seems from what I can hear in the CD that they must be a killer live act! (They have done shows with bands as Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Deicide, Hades Almighty, Primordial, etc. etc.). The recording has a killer sound: The recording was done in Harrow Productions Holland and was mastered by Harry Wijering (Harrow). I loved the guitar riff in the beginning of "Path In The Dark"…this is one of the best tracks not only in this album but in the death metal genre…it sounds great!. My favorite tracks: "Path In The Dark", "Battlerager" and "Warriors Blood" (with pumping bass sound included). Contacts: painkiller@infonie.be
