Reviews DEADSPAWN - ERADICATION - MUSICAZ 
Believe me when I tell you Deadspawn does not give a fig about mass market acceptance, popularity or trends. The German four-piece is heads-down brutal and pure death metal. Sure, a couple of elements smack of the members' individualism, but wading through songs like Philosophy Of Pain, Welcome Total Death, Terminus and the reference to the fast food chains' milkshake, entitled Cockcream, one hears all the death metal standards from beginning to end. The vocals are a mix of Unleashed's Johnny and Sodom's Angelripper (there is even a song about Agent Orange here). The singer sometimes takes over the mix as he spews his Cannibal Corpse-esque lyrics. The bass guitar is prominent and audible. Guitar solos are great where they exist - in other words, we need more - and the songs themselves are mid to fast-paced. The drummer is adequate, if only stuck with too light a sound. Otherwise, past all the pounding growlism and brutal mania the disc ends with a semi-instrumental melodic number called Eradication Of The Human Species. There they go with the exuberance again. - Ali "The Metallian"
