CD REVIEW: JASAD (Bandung) - "Rebirth of Jatisunda" CD (2013), by Andrew Sick of Sick Reviews

Jasad (Ujung Berung, Bandung) - Rebirth of Jatisunda (Extreme Souls Production) 
 
Jasad had accustomed us to the long waits between each album and this one is not different, after eight f***ing years of waiting for their third album, they are back with a full length entitled ''Rebirth of Jatisunda''! Jasad is back with a pure Brutal Death F***ing Metal and they have added several elements more Death Metal but keeping their side f***ing fast and extreme! The line-up of the band has not changed much in 15 years, Yuli (Bass/Vocals) doing a f***ing awesome job on Bass and Vocals; Man (Vocals) is good and has, I think this time, a more Death Metal style vocal; Ferly (Guitars), with his really f***ing enjoyable and catchy riffs, has excelled in all f***ing aspects; and their new drummer since 2011, Abaz (Kaluman / Undergod / Embalmed / Demons Damn (studio only)) is totally f***ing insane with killer blastbeats and his slower parts are very well performed! The production of the disk is f***ing flawless, probably far surpassing their previous works, damn excellent mixing and the sound is f***ing enjoyable but a bit clear and surely related to their more Death Metal style! ''Rebirth of Jatisunda'' is f***ing excellent shit filled with riffs that stick in our head but unfortunately it has also a few annoying parts making some songs better than others, and, for my part, I found the vocals a little bit boring after some time, missing too much f***ing guttural! Despite its weaknesses, Jasad gave us a f***ing piece of shit of a f***ing high quality and it is mandatory for all f***ing fans of Death Metal of all kinds! F***ing Enjoyable Shit! 8.5/10.

CD REVIEW: CANNABIES (Bandung Death Metal) - "Sativa Syn" CD (2015), by Andrew Sick

Left to Right: Bobby Hydro, Andri Cannabies (vokalis), Indra Cannabies (drummer), and Kieran James (Busuk Chronicles) @ Bandung
Cannabies (Bandung Death Metal) - Sativa Syn (Brutal Mind)

Cannabies are already back with a debut full length album called "Sativa Syn" only composed with new f***ing songs! Andri (Vocals), Esa (Guitars), Ega Undergod (Bass) and Indra (Drums) are the four blunted f***ing heads making part of that hydro shitty f***ing bomb and performing a Death Metal totally f***ing sick with some more technical elements and a very influenced Brutal Death Metal side! Delivering a release in the same f***ing vein as their last EP with an energy creating their identity, Cannabies returned in force to provide a near-perfect f***ing songwriting and give us "Sativa Syn" which is totally f***ing enjoyable and inspired! Andri on Vocals is very powerful, being a little bit redundant and missing a little of diversity but still f***ing enjoyable, Esa on Guitars is f***ing great by giving in majority great and brutal f***ing riffs but performing a few a bit less good, same with Ega on Bass who is f***ing awesome and very present in the production making his job f***ing enjoyable, and finally Indra with a insane f***ing drumming filled with blast but still being able to diversify his job very well! Sativa Syn contains a very great and powerful f***ing production, mixing very well done giving an important place to the bass guitar with a total devastating sound, maybe lacking a little of heaviness, but perfect for the style of Cannabies! The four sickos are offering ten new songs (including one instrumental outro) and lasts 32 frosted f***ing minutes that will make you high as ever with all excellent songs and some having maybe a few less good parts but quickly forgotten because of the amazing ones! "Sativa Syn" is a near perfect debut album offering all elements to create a memorable f***ing shit from start to end and Cannabies just proved the important place they take in the Indonesian Metal scene and they probably smoked some of the greatest ganja to provide this awesome album and a must f***ing have for all sick f***ing heads! Outstanding Violent Hydro Death Metal! 9/10. [This review was first published by Andrew Sick of Sick Reviews and is used here with his kind permission.]

CD REVIEW: HUMILIATION (Soreang / Bandung) - "Fatamorgana" CD (2015), by Andrew Sick

Adam Humiliation (vokalis) and John Yoedi, April 2012
Humiliation (Soreang / Bandung) - Fatamorgana (Groupies Merch)

From Soreang (South Bandung), Humiliation come with a highly anticipated second album after an absence of three f***ing years and are rewarding all expectations with "Fatamorgana", an intense f***ing bomb of Technical Brutal Death F***ing Metal greatly done including a solid composition with its flaws but successfully delivered a high-level technical f***ing shit! Humiliation is back again to offer ten songs and, like on their debut album, we find an instrumental intro and a cover that this time is from Burgerkill and f***ing well played! Adam (Vocals), Agi (Guitars), Vman (Bass), Iho (Drums) are the four Indonesian sickos making part of this blasphemous project and are doing an excellent f***ing job, vocals are f***ing powerful, more Death metal and maybe a little redundant but still f***ing great, guitar riffs for a most part f***ing fantastic, same for the bass that is f***ing present and enjoyable with a total insane f***ing drums which are f***ing brutal and mixing very well the slow, fast and technical parts! The production of "Fatamorgana" is for the most part f***ing perfect, an excellent mix with perhaps only a flaw to miss heaviness in the sound which is not a negative thing given their technical style and this f***ing shit still sounds like a real ton of f***ing bricks! Humiliation proves with this second release to be able to perform this style without being too over shitty technical and perhaps lacking a bit of brutality in a few f***ing songs but still having those moments which are totally f***ing crazy especially in the title track of the CD! "Fatamorgana" lasts more than 35 minutes containing an astonishing technical brutal death metal having in every song a few parts a little less interesting but this killer release remains a pillar in the genre! Despite some negative, this disk is recommended to all fans of Death Metal by its quality and a composition of creative intensity! Great Technical Brutal F***ing Shit! 8/10.

CD REVIEW: TENGGOROKAN (Kediri Kingdom DM) - "Execution of Death" CD (2015), by Andrew Sick

Tenggorokan (Kediri Kingdom Death Metal) - Execution of Death (Disembowel Records, 1,000 copies)

From Kediri / East Java, Tenggorokan are back after a few years of silence to offer their debut f***ing album entitled "Execution of Death" and spreading the terror in the world of extreme f***ing musick! This Indonesian band performs a Brutal Death F***ing Metal that could also be called Barbaric Death Metal f***ing sick and enjoyable being able to mix very well the Death Metal and Brutal Death elements! "Execution of Death" contains ten f***ing songs including an intro and are for the most part of high f***ing quality, maybe a couple of songs a little less good and some less enjoyable riffs but in general this f***ing shit is a pure bomb of brutality of a great f***ing success! Tenggorokan is Viky (Vocals), Yahnes (Guitars), Martin (Bass), Yuna (Drums) and the sickos are delivering a mighty f***ing composition and despite some imperfections, they do their f***ing job very well with this excellent f***ing release that just marked the beginning of a brutal shitty journey for this great f***ing band! Viky is doing an excellent f***ing job on vox by giving a powerful guttural that could be perhaps a mix between Mark "Barney" Greenway (Napalm Death) and Fabio Marin (Internal Suffering), Yahnes on guitars is f***ing great and offering some great and brilliant riffs with an excellent songwriting, Martin on Bass is also doing a very good job and finally Yuna on drums is f***ing brutal and fast still mixing very well tempos but missing maybe a little energy at some f***ing parts! The production of this f***ing shit is still very good, well done mixing despite some flaws and a good sound maybe lacking a little of rawness but still sounding like a f***ing ton of f***ing shit! 36 brutal f***ing minutes of pure savagery that are mostly f***ing excellent with an oppressive atmosphere added with a brutal music destroying everything in his f***ing path! Tenggorokan has managed their debut in the Brutal Death Metal with an ingenious f***ing composition and "Execution of Death", despite some negative points, is of an obvious f***ing enjoyment and is definitely recommended to all Death Metal and Brutal Death f***ing fans around! Great & Brutal F***ing Stuff! 8/10. [This review was first published by Andrew Sick of Sick Reviews on 3 January 2016 and is used here with his kind permission.]
