Sadiztik Impaler - Demonic Sadiztik Onslaught

Worse Things Have Been Released - 75%

Vega360, November 19th, 2007

I got this for 6 USD so I figured (based on the name and the equally unimpressive layout) that this would end up being a coaster or something. Now there is really not much of a reason to get his anyway because all of the bands music is on there full length, the only extras here a re a rehearsal recording and two covers (I won’t discuss the covers much because I haven’t herd the original versions of either song).
However after a couple listens I can tell you that I am glad I listened to this before the full length, probably will save me some money.

The vocals are done by about three different people who are probably better known in Singapore than the rest of the world. Despite whatever bands they came from, the vocals are all pretty much the same traditional raspy black metal snarl that can be herd on almost all black metal albums ever recorded. Azaroth does somewhat of an interesting performance on the third track but the other two guys don’t do anything impressive.

Any bass guitar on this is lost in the horrible production. I think I herd it for a split second but I could have been wrong. The normal guitar the riffs are pretty basic; of course every single song manages to have a lot of variation and tempo changes everywhere so you don’t get stuck with one thing for the entire album. The third track has a slow calm part with more droning riffs but everything else is consistent black or thrash metal riffs.

The drums don’t really do anything special. There is a lot of blasting, but that’s about it. Track two has some consistent drum parts so eventually you just drown them out in all the buzzing and whatnot.

If you love samples, this is the disc for you. They go nuts with medieval barbarian samples through out this entire thing. Sadly they overdo this one really cool sounding drum sample, where it sounds like someone is banging on a giant wooden door, so it loses a little of it’s impressive value as everything progresses. Track three even gets some spoken word piece about the horned one which was unexpected.

Whoever mixed this did a horrible job. There are many random volume changes and a couple random quiet parts in the songs after the samples finish. The sound in the recording studio isn’t too decent either and the entire third track suffers from this.

If you like this style get this I guess or go with there full length maybe it got a better production deal. For six dollars I don’t think I got ripped off or wasted my money and if I ever find any of there other stuff cheap I will probably get it too.
