Brazil has always been known for its extremely violent brutal death metal scene. The Ordher is a relatively new act that pairs a number of veterans of influential late ‘90s death metal acts Rebaelliun and Nephasth. Like their previous bands The Ordher specializes in lightspeed death metal full of blistering leads/solos and thunderous drumming. Guitarist Fabiano Penna Corrêa unleashes a torrent of short technical riffs with a slight German thrash undertone while drummer Mauricio Weimar provides the percussive backbone. All material of an incredible high level – both on a mere technical level as well as songwriting – but seem to miss the catchiness, groove or recognizable hooks that bands like Krisiun are able to put into their music. Fabio Lentino (vocals/bass) is his usual self and although his contributions are pushed too the back a bit too much his work adds a certain flair to the proceedings. Unlike their previous acts The Ordher is more war oriented in concept whereas Rebaelliun and Nephasth were anti-religious. The production done by the band in their El Diablo home studio in cooperation with Estudio 100 is amazing and reminds a lot of the later works by Krisiun. The artwork, design and lay-out are all quite spectacular. The cover art by Rafael Giovanoli actually reminds of the work by the acclaimed Tony Koehl (Abysmal Torment, Bloodsoaked, Infernal Revulsion, Malignancy). All things considered "Weaponize" is a strong debut for The Ordher but they have yet to prove whether they have the staying power of their previous bands.
