Abjured - Life You Know..?! FLAC

04/07/2012 - PUTRID DYSENTERY 'ZINE special review :
ABJURED : "Life you know...?!" - CD 2011
This german band started in 2005 and after their 10 tracks demo in 2007 they released in december 2011 this first album self-released and self-produced, recorded in their own studio.
Fans of early Nasum and Swedish grindcore, this is for you ! They deliver here 16 tracks of raging grind straight in the face plus a last doom/crust title.
The sound is really good and powerfull with a great production, maybe a little bit too clean for that kind of grind if you know what i mean haha. Vocals are composed of a mix of mainly screaming and some growlings plus backing vocals by the drummer. Guitar sound is the vein of the swedish grind acts and alternate fast grind riffs, just few loud moshing parts and here and there some rock referrences. This gives a great energy and variety to the entire album, so every song is interesting to listen with attention to catch all the different styles. The drums parts are very energic and hammers in your brain with a fucking great sound, blasting most of the time with a great intensity you can also find in the "normal parts".
For the general atmosphere, songs really reminds mainly of early Nasum and the great swedish grind bands but without copying them and with their own originality. As a friend said to me : "Close your eyes... and feel Nasum !"
From my point of view : one of the best discovery for me in this first part of the year 2012.
Don't hesitate to contact 'em to buy this great album !
