  • Selbstentleibung - "Kategorie: Tot"
    NIHILISTIC EMPIRE/NEW MUSIC DISTRIBUTION
    AUSTRIA

    Selbstentleibung - Kategorie: Tot Oh, please. Make it stop. I’m not drunk enough for this shit yet. So, here’s another post-modern black metal act cos the world really needed one more. Selbstentleibung (that is German for ‘self-disembodiment’, a fancy term for suicide. No, these guys aren’t pretentious at all) apparently pride themselves on its post-modern and nihilistic song titles and lyrics. This is suicidal black metal, so exactly how novel do you think they are? Not very. Now, I’m all for suicidal black metal – but what is it with all these fucken rock riffs on this record? Holy cow, do you guys think you are rock stars? Get the fuck over yourself, you Germknödels. If I want a rock album, I’ll grab my Triggerfinger, AC/DC or ZZ Top records, but not this. I suppose it sounds all deep and profound in German, but it’s really quite limiting if you want to reach somebody in the non-German speaking world. The song titles are a hoot: ‘Kategorie:Tot’ (‘Category:Dead’), ‘Schlaflos’ (‘Sleepless’), ‘Überdosis Leben’ (‘Overdosis Life’) and ‘Abrechnung’ (‘Payback’). Oh sure, whenever the band actually stop rocking and do this whole slow, pondering, introspective suicidal black metal thing, they are pretty tolerable – but that’s about it. There’s far too less of that, and too much of that stupid black ‘n roll thing which Satyricon and Khold popularized in the twilight years of the ‘90s. Odin knows it was terrible then, and I’m telling you it is still terrible now. Fucken stop that, really. Yeah, yeah, the record is annoyingly catchy and it never really takes off, or goes somewhere – but that is par for the course in underground black metal, and I really don’t expect otherwise anymore. The production is clean, but on the thin side. You can actually hear the bass guitar, which is a plus, cos the guitars aren’t doing anything worth remembering. The drumming could have been done by the entirely awful Greg Gall (ex-Six Feet Under) cos they are that terribly uninteresting most of the time. No. I put off reviewing this record for the longest time exactly for this reason. Did Yara from Hegre Art do any new photo shoots recently? Cos that’s more interesting than any of what this band committed to record. In fact, I hope they get committed cos this is fucken pretentious, and terrible. No. I’d rather listen to the early Abigor records and pretend like this band doesn’t exist. If they are to be pretentious then I will do the same. Be gone! You are dead to me! Fucken bratwurst pricks.

...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
