REVIEW: UNAUTHORIZED - BLACK SKY

 


UNAUTHORIZED - BLACK SKY (Independent, 2001):


Technical data:

Recorded and Mixed at Harrow Studios

Recorded, Mixed by Harry Wijering and Erik De Boer.

Artwork by Niels De Roo / Nelson Bros.


Track List: 1- Bothered, 2- Blacksky, 3- Falling, 4- Guilty as charged, 5- Confessions, 6- Bulletproof


Very modern death metal with vocals that are similar to their country men Pestilence...just a little bit heavier. The guitar riffs are more rhythmic than melodic and they are prefering brutality than simple speed. There are also some thrash metal riffs thrown here and there. I like a lot the track called "Falling" because of that slow and melodic beginning before getting into a part really powerful (this slow part is an important part of the track and reapears later to change the mood of the song). There is also "Guilty as Charged", a track with an excellent and original riff. Favorite tracks: "Bothered", "Falling and "Bulletproof". This band has achieved the perfect combination of brutality and technicality within their music, being fast when they want and not loosing originality in the meantime.
