Antigama/Meteor/Selfmadegod Records/2013 CD Review


  Antigama  are  a  band  from  Poland  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with    musical  style  I would  describe  as  being  brutal  grindcore  with  elements  of  crust,  noise  and  progressive  music  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Meteor"  which  will  be  released  by  Selfmadegod  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them,  as  for  the  sound  effects  when t hey  are  utilized  they  bring  elements  of  noise  and  progressive  music  to  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  grindcore  riffs  that  are  heavy  and  brutal  sounding  while  also  use  some  crust  and  technical  elements  in  the  riffing  and  there  are  little  to  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on t his  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  grindcore  growls  and  high  pitched  screams  with  some  spoken  word  samples  being  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  philosophical  and  scientific  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful, heavy,  brutal  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Antigama  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Key"  "Prophecy"  "Stargate"  and  "Perfect  Silence".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
