In our ongoing investigation of deceptive and outright fraudulent extreme metal acts, we pull the rug under a handful of established outfits that don’t even seem to bother hiding that they are after your money first, artistic integrity a distant second - an audience satisfaction not even registering. The more we pull away the blinds the more obvious these practices become. Maybe your favorite band is in here, maybe your life-long inspiration only cares about the dollars/euros you’re giving him/her? Don’t be fooled, there are plenty of honest, hard-working metal bands everywhere in the scene. It’s just that these money-hungry, artistically vacuum units make it difficult for everybody involved. These bands stopped caring, they lost the passion and fire. In short: they Sold Their Souls...
I had some material done already before the demise of Lord Belial. Some of the material was actually intended for the next Lord Belial album, but since we disbanded I changed around all of the ideas into new songs.
I don’t really consider it that much superior. But we KEPT the quality from 1st to 4th album, and that is something that is not easy to do! And I think there will come a 5th album that will kick just as much ass.
Caedere is one of Holland’s long standing death metal acts, forming in 1998, who released two albums prior. 2003’s “Mass Emission” was released by American label Goregiastic Records while Spain’s Grotesque Productions released their second album “Clones Of Industry”. Just like their “Promo 2007” this three-track “Corruption” EP is meant to arouse label interest in the band and their music. This EP is also the debut for new drummer Jarno Olinga (ex-Thronar). “Corruption” consists of three tracks that clearly cull inspiration from US death metal (Morbid Angel, circa “Formulas Fatal To the Flesh”), Cannibal Corpse (“Bloodthirst” and “Gore Obsessed”) with a minor dash of eerie melodies reminiscent of early Swedish death metal. Caedere never fell into the same trap as Disavowed and never made blastsections central to their compositions. The interplay between melody and brutality is as strong as ever. What Caedere does isn’t exactly reinventing the genre, but the combination of old school and new school genre traits never sounded more convincing than here. Anybody who liked Caedere’s previous releases will have no problem liking this new EP. “Corruption” isn’t much different from the rest of the band’s catalogue and is another solid exercise in brutality.http://www.caedere.comcomment itWouter 7
