Reviews MAGNACULT - INFINITUM
Magnacult and not Magnacvlt? Ok. Infinitum is the third release of this Dutch band formed all the way back in 2005. Groove metal is the first phrase the band has chosen to describe themselves, death metal is the other. To be both at same time takes some doing, The opener, Righteous Murder, is certainly aggressive, chaotic, with screams and so called harsh vocals. The second song is somewhat less so and probably something-core, deathcore perhaps, I'm Chosen does feature some heavy and catchy guitar work however. Scars has the band settling to something less than death metal, underneath the rhythm and Seb's screams David and Thomas do some good guitar work as the song slows down and ends with some clearer heavy riffing. Liberate is structured like the song before it. Be Freed By Death is a short intermission but it is not acoustic. Holy-Um follows and features a welcome solo before the title track surprises with acoustic sections and female vocals. The band's bio lists Holy-Um as featuring the guest vocals of Theresa Smith (Metaprism) but everywhere, including the band's own site, have the seventh song as the title track! Interestingly the song simply titled 8 is listed as the ninth song on the CD and everywhere else too. The confusion aside Magnacult closes Infinitum with an unlisted heavy and sometimes speedy 12th track. Before that there is another intermission and some more chaos, good riffing and a blast beat too. The line of attack is at www.magnacult.eu. – Anna Tergel
