DEAF AID – Precursors Of Extermination – Review english
DEAF AID – Death Metal from germany!
Old School Death Metal
is the thing of DEAF AID (homepage). The men have already released an EP in June this year and luckily this somehow found his way to ‚metal-heads.de‘ after all. So I would like to introduce this band to you. The guys are from Freiburg and the roots of the band go back to the 80’s! They started out as a trash band and changed the sound here and there until they finally ended up with classic death metal. But there are also influences of other styles like Thrash or Doom. After the release of the album „Pictured Pain“ they toured with POWERWOLF, SKULLFIST and DISBELIEF in 2008. This was followed by the next album „Shreds Of Insanity“ in 2015, which also received good reviews. After that there were many concerts (Do you remember the time before Covid 19 with concerts and social life? It´s really sad now…) and in June 2020 the result of the latest creative phase followed with the EP „Precursors Of Extermination“. So DEAF AID (Facebook) are old hands in the business and you can hear that in the songs.
DEAF AID – Precursors Of Extermination
make a strong violent impression. „Fragment by Fragment“ starts right away with full throttle. Immediately the thrashy roots come out. The chorus slows down the tempo a little, but stomps forward very massively. Marc´s sinister Growls go through and through and fit the sound very well. Impressive drums alternate between vehemently pushing forward and powerful stomping. The guitars sweep raw and nervously through the song. Sometimes the song sweeps away like a tornado, only to take its destructive path again like tough lava.
DOOM
is also a companion of the musical appearance. „Bullet“ is an absolute breaker song that really gets to you. Dark sounds resonate at any time and often the gloom intensifies into black darkness. The song will definitely blow your ears free. And these cool riffs from 02:28 are really great and give the song a portion of groove before it breaks out again with all its might. A deeply shattering experience succeeds, which breaks through with a lot of dark energy and unadulterated rawness. All neck swingers will have their bright joy with the sound.
Oppressive and bizarre
the last track „The Grudge“ has its appearance. A song that is fundamentally different from all other tracks on the EP. A crazy bizarre song that doesn’t roll down the listener with a massive wall of sound and carries him away, at least most of the time. Instead it succeeds with few means in creating an eerie dark atmosphere. A song that could be played as the perfect musical background for the next demon summoning. Twice, however, the song suddenly bursts out demonic with power. In my opinion, the song is a little bit too long with its 08:00 minutes.
Result of DEAF AID „Precursors Of Extermination“
DEAF AID open the gates of damnation and unleash some real crushers on humanity. A raw and unadulterated sound that spreads an incredible energy and presence.It remains to mention that the coverartwork of Chris Cold looks just awesome. On Bandcamp you should therefore urgently order the CD edition limited to 100 pieces for only 6,66€. Furthermore the men promised that they are already working on other songs and want to release something in shorter intervals. Let’s hope that they keep their promise.
