Fatal - Genocide

Good matrial, Weeeeak production - 80%

Defiler, November 22nd, 2003

If one's to point at Israel's finest low-budget demo - it will be Fatal's Genocide.
The album was recorded in 1997 or so- don't remember exactly - and it shows a great case of musicianship (if such a word does exist in the metal world... or at all). The main adventage of Fatal is their lead guitarits. Fatal is manage to present a harsh blow of melodic death metal as the first 2 Dark Tranquility and evolve it into more progressive type of music, which invloves keys and mid-tempo groove-motives parts, and also a few acoustic intros.

Erez the vocalist has a tallented throst, noticed on stage more than in this demo. Even he is sound a little unexpirinced - the two-style screams are perfectly matching the music.

They are two main problems in this demo-album.

The first and more important one is the weak production. It really drives back all the music. If the band could add 100 $ to the production and hire a real studio worth playing it would be easier to listen to it.
The second problam is the lack of bass guitar, but that doesn't matter - if they was one - it was probably swallowed behind the weak production.

This demo is fun to listen - as long as you can handle demo-matirial and not serious production. But in general - not for collectors only
