SANITY´S DAWN - CHOP COPPER (Shredded Recs. - 2000): This Grind / death band from Germany has released a really good record for lovers of the style ( I think that people who like more extreme hardcore music will also love this release because there are some riffs that remind that style). Two different styles of vocals (it reminded me of Brutal Truth´s singer in some places) are the main characteristic of the band. The opening with "Half a brain" is a really powerful one with some rhythmic guitar riffs in the middle part. In fact I think that the band should exploit more this type of rhythms instead of ussing the blast beat parts that have the characteristic of sounding similar. For example the riff in "Fat Stinking Bitch" (0:35) is one that can be expanded and explored or for example the riff that opens "Pulled out tongue for my Kebap". Some riffs in "Komisch in Kopf" reminded me of early Carcass records I felt something similar listening to "Sewing lampshades with a scrotum and spermatic cords". I think this band has the potential to become one of the bests in the genre. Plus I think their drummer is really good at what he is doing. Favorite tracks: "Komisch in Kopf", "Pulled out tongue for my Kebap" and "Fat, splat and dead". Email: shredded@t-online.de
