SPHERE
'Homo
Hereticus'
(Masterful
Records)
Add yet
another jewel to the Polish death metal crown. Sphere are one of
those bands that have realized that you can actually mix different
influences alongside brutality and sheer aggression, thus keeping
things more vibrant and interesting for the listener. I won't be
laying and say this is one hundredth percent awesomeness, but I can
see myself reaching for this album in the coming future. These guys
seem to be fuckin pro's on their chosen instrument and the production
makes them justice – drumming is really top shelf stuff, guitars
have those little intricacies that makes you pay attention and
they've been clever enough to give the bassist his time in the
spotlight. And then there's the romantically named Analripper
demonstrating his ability of sounding both brutal and coherent at the
same time. I can't see why anyone who's been raised on a steady
musical diet of Morbid Angel, Deicide, Suffocation and Krabathor
would willingly overlook Sphere. That said, my personal fave off
'Homo Hereticus' is the punk/d-beat nurtured 'Sadisfucktion', closely
followed by the grindy lead out 'War'. That's just me however. [7,5]
