REVIEW: COBALT - COBALT

 


COBALT - COBALT (Independent, 2002)


Produced By: Cobalt


Tracks: 1- Angel Fangs, 2- Hammerfight, 3- Lunar Warfare, 4- World on its knees


Recorded by Cobalt


Here we have Cobalt´s brutal as fuck MCD. Here we have four tracks of pure death / black / grind metal dementia. Here we have the blast beats, the chainsaw like guitars and the screaming vocals. Everything here has also some sort of thrash influence in some of the rhythms.  There are many ultra fast parts (even if the second track is slower and more rhythmic) with extremely distorted vocals, almost grindcore. It seems that this guys are using some sort of drum device to create the blast beats and rhythms because they sound quite mechanical, specially the cymbals and that adds a special feeling to Cobalt´s music. I would like the band to mix clearer the guitars and the snare drum that are a little bit buried in the mix. Here we have an ultra brutal band with good ideas and extreme violence.

Favorite tracks: "Angel Fangs" and "Hammerficght"
