Agathocles ,the Belgian mince/core legends  ."Commence To Mince" is the new  album of Agathocles and it offers only 35 minutes but awesome oldschool grind (mince grind with some old punk touch « Orgulho Americano » countains some punk/crust  riffs…just some element who offers a great mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  you  can  also  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording  and  there  is  also  a  brief  use  of  chaotic  guitar  leads  and  all  of  the  songs  stick  to  a  very  heavy  and  brutal  musical  direction) - short songs, blastbeats and death  metal  growls  and  high  pitched  screams  vocals. In case you are into anything from the previous Agathocles' releases then you will not be disappointed by this commence to mince, and I happily say an album which pleases my ears groovy oldschool relaxing flavour the track « Orgulho Americano »…..what else !!!! just taking some fucking beers  and i’ts makes us forget the shit of modern death metal albums of nowadays that are structured just of accelarateted and robotised death métal (fuckity  fucking modern death metal .metalcore death core djent metal shit who invaded death ,grind,black metal scéne )

So if you like grind old style Napalm Death (old), Repulsion,  Terrorizer, Cripple Bastards, Extreme Noise Terror, Anal Cunt Brutal Truth do not hesitate ,do not hesitate and do not hesitate this 35 melodious incisions spread out in just 34 minutes, what song slamming, thrown into your face. This style of indebted texts. Chaos, musical pressure, riff brought about brutality and you have a classic to fetid light.

Agathocles are now classic, simplicity, commitment, energy, these are the basic characteristics of all the work of these crazy Belgians with their infinity splits since 1989 !!with several bands .

The sound production is good and professional  Agathocles  creates  another  recording  that  remains  very  true  to  the  mincecore  style  of  their  previous  releases,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  violent,  angry, hateful ,sick ,dirty rotten  and  political  themes.

 (which wasn't always the case with some of the Agathocles releases in the past the only thing who’s similar with fuckin modern metal bands just  "Commence To Mince" is an awesome  chaos & freedom) and all the ingredients for a good old grinding fun are present enjoy in any case I think , you you must have  "Commence To Mince" in your collection.

Slave One – Disclosed Dioptric Principles (2016)

Label: Dolorem Records

Tracklist:

1.Deus Otiosus       

2.The Antikythera Mechanism    

3.Obsidian Protocol Achievement          

4.For Shiva Whispered the Universe                

5.Aeon Dissonance          

6.Liquid Transcendental Echoes                       

7.Degenesis       

     

At first I underestimated this album , The rhythm and the fusion sound of other musical style (it’s not acceptable like the long shity intro of track 5 Aeon Dissonance and track 7 Degenesis ) and progressive death metal riffs thing that gave me bad impression and other important thing in this album It’s lacks of brutality and old-school atmosphere approach .

………. Fortunately some beers help me to understand Disclosed Dioptric Principles because a great technical dose slaps me to my face (maybe the thing who save Disclosed Dioptric Principles) without forgetting the cover art of this album it’s fit perfectly with the concept . Its a nice portion of the mythological art perfectly reflects what the album is about. It has a metaphysical /mythological aspect  with a scientific approach…………………….. The technicality of the progressiveness of the multiple notes are well done .

Slave One use the methodology of majority of the new bands they do possess , which means modern death metal sound perfectly process and recorded , Drumming very attracted by drum triggers It allows to have gained great attention , riffs affected and accelerate, leads and solo well felt as well as precise and correct double-pedal shots, but all this does not come out of the ordinary …………… It's a bit what jeff walker said about modern death metal “people have been tolerating a kind of substandard product”

Slave one remind me two great names Necrophagist and Obscura but if you compare Necrophagist don’t miss brutality ….in brief Necrophagist brutal death metal a pure death metal followed with a great dose of technical brutality Obscura miss a lot the brutality who Necrophagist get but the great likeness is the technical playing except that’s more prog , so we can say in brief it’s progressive technical death metal the case of Slave one , in any case I think , you should have " Disclosed Dioptric Principles " in your collection if you want.
