Apparently Bennie Fors (B-Force) woke up from his drunken stupor one day and realized that being the bass guitarist in Dark Funeral was as useful as being the male singer in a Boob Metal band. Instead of forming that long overdue band of ex-Dark Funeral and ex-Marduk members, Omnizide is made up of people I have never fucken heard of. The guitarist from Avsky is in this, and some guy from a band called Craft is on vocals. Instead of being fucken alpha and recruiting Paul Mäkitalo (Themgoroth) as vocalist and Fredrik Andersson (ex-Marduk) on drums this band went for the humble unknowns. This band would probably still be unheard of if it weren’t for Fors getting off his fat ass and playing his bass in this band. Anyway, the vocals remind me of fucken Bleeding Fist more than anything, and Omnizide itself has more of an Australian war-metal type sound. It’s not quite as out of control and violent, nor as thrashy – but I suppose it comes close enough. I’m not sure why they named this album "Death Metal Holocaust" cos it’s more of a black/thrash metal album than anything. The label and Metal-Archives agree on this being "black/death metal", so who am I to disagree? Anyway, these guys dress up in the usual leather get-ups and indiscriminately use corpse paint, so I guess they are black metal when it comes to it. As was expected, I can’t hear much of the bass guitar despite it being played by Dark Funeral’s most famous fattie. Maybe that’s too necro and kvlt for these black metal types, who the fuck knows, right? Although this band has a track called ‘No Remorse’ it isn’t a cover of that old great Metallica tune. So yeah, this is pretty good stuff considering there’s only guy who has been able to live off his music for a few years. "Death Metal Holocaust" might not be the best thing in the genre right now, but considering the amount of shit the black/thrash metal genre has brough forth in recent years this is actually pretty good. It isn’t something you haven’t heard before, and the only reason why people will bother checking this band out is Fors anyway. Hopefully they’ll finetune their sound a bit by the time the next album rolls around. Who knows?
