Caedere - "The Lost Conveyance"
2014 / 3cd
Sevared Records
Holland
Where in the past Caedere sounded like an utterly massive Severe Torture (Hammerheart Records era) clone with its third album the Morbid Angel influence is far more pronounced. Unlike a lot of others they too understand the importance of bottom-end heaviness, and "The Lost Conveyance" has an incredible crunch in regards to its concrete bass guitar and kickdrum tone, even though the snares and toms sounded better on prior records. ‘Against Better Judgement' sounds as something off "Gateways to Annihilation" before the acceleration in the last minute and a half. ‘Union Of Substitutes' has some very prominent bass licks, and a slowly unfolding tortured solo towards its conclusion. All three tracks of the prior "Corruption" EP make their return here albeit in re-recorded form. ‘Facing Reality' has guest vocals by Mike Hrubovcak (Divine Rapture, Monstrosity, Vile). On the whole the material on "The Lost Conveyance" sounds a lot more controlled, better paced, and more importantly, better written than anything this band has done before. On all fronts that matter "The Lost Conveyance" represents a major leap forward with Caedere sidestepping the obvious rakes, and limitations of the death metal genre - instead pushing forwards towards something more musical, more technical, and more conceptually ambitious. The wonderful artwork by Noisecraft embraces an old school aesthetic lost on most contemporary acts in this genre. The fact that this was released on Sevared Records, a label rightly despised for its bottom-feeding roster of substandard artists, of all label imprints exposes what is wrong with the metal industry as a whole. If there was any justice this would have been released on a bigger, more visible imprint - but Caedere's unwillingness to compromise its vision for commercial considerations speaks volumes to its strength of character, and headstrong belief in its wares. "The Lost Conveyance" is the best death metal record you'll hear this year, and it would be a shame to let this one pass by in a sea of banality, mediocrity and hyped up drivel.

Co za debiut! Jestem absolutnie zauroczony tym co zaserwowała ta norweska ekipa i absolutnie nie dziwię się, że Dark Descent nie zwlekała z kontraktem. Dotychczasowe doświadczenie muzyków Sover...
...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...
