« The icing on the cake as Apoptose is a stellar release. Exciting, interesting and challenging. »

So gelangen wir zu den Anspieltipps, welche noch zum soeben Genannten als «Hear Us», «Crawling Chaos», «The Hiding» und letztlich «Grind Me», welches zusammen mit Julien Truchan von Benighted eingespielt worden und der wohl deathigste Track geworden ist. Eine sehr interessante, hervorragende Combo aus heimischen Gefilden, welche die Banner zu «Apoptose» stolz im Winde aufrecht flattern lassen kann.

Album opener ‘Kotlas Connection’ is a knuckle dragging doom laden crawl crossed with mild mannered death metal vocals. The slumber with which ‘Kotlas Connection’ moves is so heavy and slow it’s like an anticipation fuelled long wind up that leads into the energetic and pulsating ‘Rabid Dog’. More like the bands root sound ‘Rabid Dog’ is a fierce fury of traditional heavy metal mixed with death and doom. And the throaty growled vocals feature so much menace they’re quite scary!

« That earlier mention of Scandinavian sound is not without merit, too, especially when you consider “Crawling Chaos” – an AMON AMARTH song by another band. That intro riff, from the note choice to the production, just needs the addition of Johan Hegg’s gutturals and you will be reaching for a broadsword in no time. »

« Des Rêves Noirs is again proof supreme that the French language just fits when it comes to slaking your darkest urges. This one’s so older-style Rotting Christ, we just had to get it on endless replay for a while over here. Or take the strange case of Grind Me, an unusual brand of Deathcore, brutally – well – grinding Jérôme Thomas‘ shouted vocals into a puddle by guesting Julien Truchan of Benighted.. »
