Shizoparanoic Platoon – Warfare: Mass Annihilation
Greece
Askio Productions
The
latest EP from these Greek tyrants, entitled “Warfare: Mass Annihilation,”
mercilessly bludgeons the listener’s brain into submission from the get-go. The
album contains six tracks and clocks in at thirteen minutes, launching a
barrage of straight-ahead aural violence characterized by ugly riffs, sickened
growls, and cavernous drums. The hellish cacophony is supported by a raw
production that fits their style perfectly.
Fans
of bestial black/death metal will absolutely love this release. The EP is
short, but makes up for it with pure visceral brutality. On top of that, there
is no filler, so to speak. There’s a lot of replay value, thanks to the
punishing riffs and well-arranged songs.
Prior
to this release, the band released a compilation album, which I haven't heard,
but after being blown away by this EP, I definitely plan on checking it out.
Every track on this EP is great, especially the cover of Blasphemy's Demoniac, which I highly
recommend hearing. Schizoparanoic Platoon's name pretty much tells
you what to expect, so be prepared to have your brains reduced to a pulp with
this disc. A highly recommended War Metal act from Greece! (HT)
