WOHEDNESS - Skeletal Life (Independent - 2000): Pure grind/death is what this band does and they do it really well!! A really drummer is the fundamental part of this band that goes to the extreme of what is guttural. The riffs are played at hyperspeed. Do you remember "Scum" era Napalm Death? That is the band that Wohedness made me think about. The principal difference is that Wohedness plays more variety of riffs and include short solos in some parts of their music (is it a fuzz distortion pedal what I hear in the solos?). You can hear all this in songs like "Conspired Possession" or "Keeper to Tormentor" (with the most guttural vocals). I think that this band deserve a better production (eventhough the sound is good) to be more effective (perhaps making the drums sound a little less thin than here). They are really good in what they do. Maybe exploring more with the solos and melodies that they use sometimes will be a good idea. My favorite tracks: "Keeper To Tormentor", "Stenchcore Nextdoor" and "Truth of Fiction" (with short blast beats all over the song and some interesting drum breaks). Contact: corpsecore@excite.com
