Deathwork - Evolve to Extinguish

Not indispensable but refreshing ;) - 87%

HEADTHRASHER, March 26th, 2006

The first theme begins with a brief intro where an undergravelike voice (computerized effect) spit unrepeatable sentences. It gives us the raw welcome the first theme titled like the MCD "Evolve to Extinguish", it has a slow tempo in the beginning, that gains speed as advances the theme, is a Thrash Metal become related to the Bay Area, it has even some melodic parts.

We follow with "Deranged Sanity", now without hesitation a corrupt power attack to us, without warning a fast and much more violent tempo, Thrash metamorphosed in Death Metal, the bass more powerful than ever, it’s very refreshing, my respect to Mr. Riccardo Costantino.

Soon arrives "The Last Defilement", more rhythmic, kind of boring perhaps (it gives that impression because the previous theme was very forceful), but it’s not bad, actually in the end gives us good strokes of the brush! What I would do like is to listen to a better mix, I guess that the production came out a little badly, the vocal work of Fabrizio Malaponte go to waste.

The fourth track is "Buried by the dark", it begins in a supreme way, good mixture of instruments, I am excited while listen to it! Again DEATHWORK gives us a theme with airs of Death Metal, that is the style that fits better to the voice of Fabrizio, which do has potential, but it still needs to be worked; going back to the song, it has good changes, a Death with thrasher riffs, but pay attention, this is new school definitively.

Armando Alioto shines in the following theme that seems to be composed specially for him, I talk about "Way to the void" which has very good riffs, here if I feel old school pretensions, the changes of tempo in the drums are very refreshing. We close with "My own to war" that begins with a rhythmic tempo, quite Bay Area, but with a guttural voice and heaviness in the bass that stress the almost always present dose of Death. Tempo is becoming faster, blastbeats and maniac bass, this song is born Thrash and die Death (sorry for the redundancy), I liked better the second part.

This band is recommendable, they are young Italian with enough potential, they dominate their instruments, give yourself the opportunity to listen to them!!
