Blind's Review:
Is this a joke? Seriously, is it? I don't think I've heard vocals that were this bad in many moons. The frontman honestly sounds like an old man struggling to take a shit.Yes, it is that bad.
I am also disheartened to read in the press release how this band is trying to sound like modern-day Swedish death metal. *GROAN* Another one?!?
Let's see... what else? The producer decided to make the TERRIBLE vocals louder than the mediocre drums and generic guitar riffing. Wowee! Could Malstrom possibly saturate my ears with any more crap?
The checklist thus far:
- Horrifically bad vocals? (If Al Bundy [Married with Children] did vocals on an album, it would sound like this.) Check.
- Sub par production? Check.
- Mediocre songwriting? Check.
- Generic band name? Check.
- Unimpressive, unhelpful presskit? Check.
- Non-working web page? Check.
There you have it, folks. Let that be your guide as to whether or not you even want to attempt to listen to this crap.
I'm really reaching deep to find something good to say about this music, but I'm coming up short. It's more accurate (and fun) just to make fun of it-like the last breakdown of the second track where the drummer tries to fire off with the double bass and fails miserably. It is laughably bad and a testament to just how horrendous this band is.
I guess the bass player is pretty good. He keeps up with the music well and sounds competent enough. There. I've found something.
Nevertheless, this is on par with the worst music I've ever heard. I can't think of a name at this time with which to compare it, as I try to forget the musical abominations that come across my desk.
Spare yourself this punishment.
