“Axiom” #5 @ Equivoke/Sanakan’s Top 20 Albums of 2011 list!
http://equivoke-mdl.blogspot.com/2011/12/sanakans-top-20-albums-of-2011.html
I really didn’t expect anything in the grind/hardcore arena to top this year’s GridLink album especially from such a young band, but that’s what Axiom did in my opinion. I’m fucking addicted to this burst of chaotic energy in an absurd sense. A superb blend of breakneck cosmic grind, and crusty blackened hardcore expertly crafted into a truly fantastic and unique experience. Every song is memorable and paced so well, all elements gel together without becoming stale or crowded. The spacey overtone is wonderful. This band has incredible potential and what they display here is most likely only the tip of it.
“Axiom” review @ The Sound Of The Law (in french)
A righteous review in french… <<… Dephosphorus’ music is quite evident when we think about it. This fluidity is its power.>>
http://www.thesoundofthelaw.org/dephosphorus.html
Anciens gratteux des grindeurs de Straigthhate rejoint par le batteur de Injekting Khaos (du black grec influencé par la scène française froide et haineuse façon Antaeus, à la recherche d’un label pour un nouveau mini LP), Desphosphorus vient de pondre un truc qui tourne en boucle chez moi.
Cet ep m’a tout simplement botté le cul, peut être autant que le 1er release de Superstatic Revolution. Assez narratif, diversifié et surtout très bien composé, Dephosphorus ne sonne pas pour autant posé ou stérile, loin là. La rage et le feeling sont palpables. N’hésitant pas à martyriser les futs dans des élans grind ou à perdre quelques neurones dans des plans crusty, les grecs nous envoient aussi un peu plus haut dans le ciel avec quelques plans spacy. Ne tombant pas dans le piège d’une surtechnicité stérile, Dephosphorus reste accessible à tout moment et privilégie les ambiances dissonantes et ne rechigne pas à lorgner vers le death ou le black. Chiadé tout en sonnant spontané. Finalement assez hors carcan, même si grind et post hardcore sont les premiers mots venant à l’esprit, la musique de Dephosphorus est en fait assez évidente quand on y pense. Cette fluidité est sa force.
On ajoute un artwork intéressant et des gars pas cons en inties.prochain album sous peu « Nigth Sky Transform ».tout est prêt, ne reste plus qu’à trouver un label.. Pas la peine de s’étendre plus que ça.
Two reviews of “Axiom in italian
http://dundundudu.blogspot.com/2011/12/dephosphorus-axiom.html
Dephosphorus cominciano a fare robe nel 2008, in Grecia. Dopo anni di demo registrati e altri titititirititi, sbuca fuori Axiom, prodotto da una casa discografica tedesca. E son grosse esplosioni anagogiche e cosmiche in ovunquelato.
‘Sti mangia-aglio han svecchiato un genere come il grindcore nobilitandolo, a loro stesso dire, ad “astrogrind”, dando alla violenza dell’album un valore rituale e purificatorio altissimo e che ha radici enormemente antiche. Un certo tipo di esoteria simil-pitagorica permea tutto l’album sin dal titolo e dall’artwork. La geometria sonora e la perfezione della brutalità dell’album sono tutti i mezzi che i musicisti in questione usano per raggiungere la catarsi, per epurarsi, per diventare un puro esercizio di ragione nella sua accezione più antica, quella degli atti di pura forza che si eseguono in contrasto con la natura violenta della physis stessa. Copiosissimi viaggi metempsicotici ed elevazioni spirituali per un genere che s’era consegnato all’idolatria suicida di pochi fanatici che ne capiscono ben poco.

Tout court: adrenalina pura.
arrivano direttamente dalla Atene in tumulto che si devasta tra risse con la polizia e spese sociali ai supermercati, il debutto sulla breve distanza di questo trio che gode di un’ottima produzione e di una composizione a tratti davvero ispirata- visto che riesce a mettere più d’un accento personale su un territorio alla fine abbastanza difficile da scardinare e rinnovare come quello grind. ma i ragazzi hanno le carte in regola (e non lo dico soltanto io, pure ondarock lo dice) per prepararci un debutto su ellepì che potrebbe portare una devastazione sonica ancora mai vista in questo terzo, lugubre e riottoso millennio, non so se mi spiego? oh, io incrocio le dita, voi invece gugòlate i ragassi e ascoltatevi le sette tracce: promettono un gran bene.
qui il loro sito officiale dove trovate tutto, e quando dico tutto intendo proprio tutto (frì daunlò, ndr): dephosphorus!
“Axiom” #4 @ Corporate Demon’s top 10 list for 2011
http://corporatedemon.blogspot.com/2011/12/favorite-albums-of-2011.html
4. Dephosphorus – Axiom
Sadly, I don’t even remember where I first read about Dephosphorus. I easily follow over 50 metal sites in my Google Reader. But I am eternally grateful to whoever it was that wrote about this album and enticed me to download it (they released it for free, I do not steal music). For about the first month after I had it on my computer I constantly found myself craving and revisiting it. So I ordered the vinyl, because these guys definitely deserve the support. Axiom hits every sweet spot in my body. Raw fucking energy, intelligent lyrics and a captivating aesthetic. If you haven’t heard this yet, download the free copy and give it a listen. And if you like it fucking buy it. Support the music you love. It feels good. Trust me.

Dephosphorus – Axiom LP
Hard working Greek lads get their great self released CD onto wax. Bit crusty, nicely varied, always melodic and always evil.

“Axiom” review @ Hangar18
http://www.hangar18.com.ar/index.php?topic=27324
Ok, evidentemente éste es el año en que el Metal extremo y los delirios alucinógenos decidieron unir fuerzas definitivamente. No es que antes no hubiera sucedido (nombres como Skeleton Of God, Cephalic Carnage, Agoraphobic Nosebleed o Portal así lo demuestran), pero en la actualidad parece haber una suerte de rebrote de locura generalizada que, en bandas como Mitochondrion, Baring Teeth, Psudoku, Gigan o Flourishing (entre tantas otras), está alcanzando niveles inéditos de creatividad violenta. Dephosphorus es un trío griego nacido en 2008 y, si nos guiamos por lo expuesto en estos siete temas que conforman su debut discográfico, tienen todo lo necesario para sumarse sin problemas a la lista antes mencionada. Se nota una clara fundación Grindcore en su sonido y el hecho de prescindir de bajista los puede asociar directamente con Discordance Axis o Pig Destroyer, con lo cual ya tendríamos un buen punto de referencia para empezar. En efecto, más allá de las voces podridas, los alaridos, los blast-beats y los riffs carnosos, aquí la cosa se pone bien retorcida e impredecible, con múltiples cambios de ritmo operando al filo del caos absoluto, una guitarra que se expande en intrincados y convulsionados paisajes cósmicos, haciendo gala de una vasta gama de recursos e ideas puestas al servicio de trastornar neuronas y quebrar huesos al mismo tiempo. Y es que, aún teniendo en cuenta la demencia surrealista que desprenden estas composiciones, el trío se las arregla para no perder de vista cierta energía visceral que funciona como perfecto balance y le da un sabor particular a su propuesta. Por momentos, suena casi como si en Napalm Death hubieran logrado resucitar e incorporar a sus filas al inmortal Piggy de Voivod, en otros asoma la cabeza cierto espíritu Blackmetalero a la Deathspell Omega pero cubierto de gruesas capas de alquitrán Sludgero y más adelante pueden hacer pensar en unos Neurosis epilépticos y nerviosos. En fin, material con personalidad propia, creatividad desbocada y la rabia suficiente como para atrapar a cualquier amante del extremismo musical que se precie de tal.
