COMMON GRAVE (ger) - Dehumanized CD
Crunchy Death Metal. The digital world already invades the world of metal for a very long time now – and they still keep adding more and more “plug-ins” for that. I despise such ‘cleanliness’ in this kind of music. Of course, all things really worked well with Common Grave. “Dehumanized” was produced by Necrophagist member Muhammed Suicmez at Aexxys Art Studio; so with all this kind of information, you have the idea of how this CD sounds like – production wise. I never heard their previous work so I got nothing but to go over on all these songs (10 tracks). First and like what I’ve said earlier, I never like how this CD sounds: too clean, too tight, everything in here is just so clear, the kicks on the bass drum were so “clicky”. If you are looking for that kind of production, then consider those as an added bonus. Second, eventhough that I never like the clean sound, I have to say that I don’t have any complains on the songs! There were some really great catchy riffings here and there that the clean sound just gets all over me just fine. I understand such music requires clarity but why do they don’t use Soundlab instead? Probably trying to stay away on the typical Soundlab sound? I see it as The Abyss Studio of Grindcore. Third, after continuous listen, songs bore me to death already. Probably I’m complaining about the clean sound once again? I’m sorry, but I think that Common Grave should perhaps do more catchy riffs like what happened in “Necrocide” (starts 2:17), great harmonics on “Reborn through Hate” (starts 2:00) and not all these blast-slow-blast-mute-etc making all the songs sound the same. Add on that is the terribly monotonous low growled vocals, which fits the music perfect by the way, but is painfully overheard on this disc. I wish he could stop singing and let some instruments do the talking for a while. The lyrics were pretty short (booklet says) but vocals were all over the place and just never stops (he stops for a while but he’s back again), even on the last minute of the last track “P.G.”, those growls closes the disc, thanks a lot! Recommended for fans of Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, & Gurkkhas. 7/10 -
