N.S.T. review @ Don’t Count On It Reviews

http://dontcountonitreviews.blogspot.se/2012/09/dephosphorus-night-sky-transform-2012.html

I had heard quite a bit of Dephosphorus last year when they were getting acclaim for their Axiomrelease. At the time, I wasn’t listening to much grind so I didn’t pay much attention to it, but recently I have started listening to more so I went and checked out this new album. How could I pass up something that’s called astro-grind?
I have to say that when I came into this record, and based on what I had heard from others about the band, I was expecting something far more in the realms of grindcore. That’s not to say that isn’t in here, but for me, it feels much more like an even blend of black metal and grindcore, with a nice helping of avant-garde experimentalism thrown in for good measure as well. The production is nice and raw sounding, very authentic, which was what initially threw me off when I first listened to this, I was expecting something pretty polished, based on what I think of when I hear the term “astro-grind.” The rawness of the production actually does lend itself to the songs on here though, as they do appear to be more in the black metal vein on here (I can’t speak of the songs on Axiom) and it brings a bleak sort of nihilistic atmosphere to them. The riffs move between straightforward tremolo picking, death-grind blasts and chugs, bouts of energetic thrash, and something more interesting. It’s in those slower, more atmospheric sections where things start to feel a little bit like Deathspell Omega or something like that, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I wouldn’t say those moments are particularly DSO inflected or anything but I got a similar sense of uneasiness and discomfort while listening to them, once again, not a bad thing. Though it’s not slow at all, The Astral Putsch I: Plateau of Initiation pretty much gave me those feeling from start to finish, and I loved every second of it. I’ve listened to this a couple of times now and my feelings towards it appear to shift each time I’ve listened to it, though I can say I’ve never disliked it, each time it does feel like I am gaining a deeper appreciation and understanding of the record which is something I can’t say I’ve gotten when listening to a grind band/album before.
I hate to sound like I’m just skimming over this, but it is a great record. I wish more bands in the grindcore genre would be willing to push outside of their crusty boundaries and do something like this. It’s turning into a pretty good year for grind, do not make the mistake of passing up this record.
Overall Score: 8.5
Highlights: Starless, The Astral Putsch I: Plateau of Initiation, Aurora

“Axiom” review @ Plappernde Suelzen (German)

http://plapperndesuelzen.wordpress.com/2012/08/21/axiom/

Die Hitze ist einfach nichts für die Sülzen. Kein Wunder also, dass es hier mal wieder etwas ruhiger zur Sache geht. Trotzdem lassen wir uns nicht lumpen und hauen wenigstens mal wieder gute Musik für umme hier rein. Axiom von Dephosphorus ist schwer einzuordnen und auch die Band betitelt ihren Stil als “Astrogrind”, aber wenn man was mit Crust, Death Metal, Grindcore, Hardcore, Punk und Powerviolence anfangen kann, kann einem wohl egal sein, ob man es nun Astrogrind oder sonst was nennt, denn das Ding ist dick, dick und dick. Wem die Platte so gut gefällt, kann sie sich auch als edle 12″ LP über den eigenenShop der Band besorgen und wenn Ihr schon dabei seid, könnt Ihr euch auch direkt das Nachfolgeralbum Night Sky Transform (beide LPs werden übrigens von 7DegreesRecords vertrieben) bestellen, welches zufälligerweise auch schon Morgen erscheinen soll! Also, wenn man schon schwitzen muss, dann wenigstens mit der richtigen musikalischen Untermalung.

Trinta minutos!
È o tempo que chega para novamente o trio grego Dephosphorus destruir tudo á volta e mandar cá para fora um dos melhores albuns deste genero dos ultimos tempos.
Não, aqui não se pega na sonoridade sueca para dar peso e mostrar que se está dentro da cena, não se usa vocais berrados daqueles á At The Gates, aqui faz-se tudo de outra forma, vão se buscar aqueles classicos do Crust, enfiam-se dentro de um caldeirão onde os ingredientes são tão venenosos que tanto podem ir ao encontro daquelas dissonancias mais proximas de uns nomes atuais do BM mais vanguardista, como de repente e quase por artes magicas puxar o legado de uns Nasum ou Nails das faixas mais violentas, isto tudo é claro como a agua mas a sujidade Dephosphoriana é que continua a mandar e a controlar totalmente a maquina.
O resultado final é soberbo, e a propria construção e ambiente dos temas transmite uma aura muito estranha, não muito usual nos albuns deste estilo.
Já no anterior a banda tinha muito boas indicações, indicações essas totalmente aqui confirmadas e mostrando realmente que Dephosphorus são talvez um dos mais potentes concorrentes com aquele som tão em voga atualmente e que veio preencher uma lacuna dentro de um movimento que apesar de ter alguns bons momentos ainda não tinha conseguido explodir realmente, como acontece nos dias de hoje.
Até a propria tematica lirica está totalmente á parte daquilo que usualmente se apanha neste genero, o que a meu ver só demonstra que até nestes pequenos pormenores isto está um pouco mais além do resto do rebanho.
Algo que realmente adorei foi mesmo o som da guitarra, forte e pesadão conseguindo fazer um contra-balanço quase surreal entre algo mais antigo com aquilo que muitos hoje se entretem a jogar, alias basta ouvir com atenção uma“The Astral Putsch II: Array of Truth”, uma “Unconscious Excursion (The Hidden Galactic Truth and a Sphere Full of Sorcerous Solutions)” ou a “Uncharted”(aquele riff aos 2m destroi-me!) para se ter uma noção mais realista daquilo que estou praqui a dizer.
Um album fodido, noturno, e de um vicio enervante mas com um efeito nefasto logo na primeira escuta que pior…as coisas ainda se tornam muito mais complicadas ao fim de umas 15 ou 20 escutas…
All HAIL AURORA!!!!
