The first one █ █ █ █ delivered their latest 2012 demo ôIndomitableö, with three █ █ █ █ songs, while the later has used their three tracks from █ █ █ █ Promo 2010. Both bands play sort of brutal and modern death █ █ █ █ metalà and I must admit that on the first listen I was like █ █ █ █ ôoh, this ainÆt my shitö, but after few more spins I █ █ █ █ started to like one of the two bands, while another still █ █ █ █ remains dull for me. █ █ █ █ Of the two I definitely like Writhing more, as their slab █ █ █ █ of American death metal brutality is not bad at all. I mean █ █ █ █ their music is fast, technical, but with some truly killer █ █ █ █ riffs and whole fragments, like in the opening song █ █ █ █ ôIndomitableö. Ha, definitely they take a lot of influence █ █ █ █ from the likes of few recent Deicide albums, Malevolent █ █ █ █ Creation, Suffocation and stuff like that (is it just me, █ █ █ █ or the riffing in ôDeath of Your Dreamö really sounds a lot █ █ █ █ like Vader???). Surely thereÆs a lot of potential in █ █ █ █ Writhing, they do have some great ideas and definitely █ █ █ █ technically they managed to nail their music perfectly. As █ █ █ █ I said, I do like the riffs, actually each of the three █ █ █ █ songs has something what I like about them, also the █ █ █ █ production is really good, so I can assure you that █ █ █ █ Writhing is kind of band, which you just must no hesitate █ █ █ █ and just listen to. █ █ █ █ Meanwhile Ad Patresà well, stylewise they are way more █ █ █ █ modern, with almost some of that shitty deathcore influence █ █ █ █ here and there, but a bit of grind as well (for that just █ █ █ █ check ôTo the Fathersö)à no, sorry, but I just donÆt like █ █ █ █ such stuff. OK, there are some riffs I like, but as overall █ █ █ █ there is more stuff, which I hate about the modern death █ █ █ █ metal than I like (that mentioned ôTo the Fathersö song, █ █ █ █ reallyà what a shiteà). This stuff is I guess comparable to █ █ █ █ the recent Aborted and Suffocation albums for instance, █ █ █ █ with more core here and thereà And sure, it is pretty █ █ █ █ intense, brutal, kicking fast and sometimes I do find it as █ █ █ █ pleasant, but thereÆs always something what disturbs me █ █ █ █ (like some vocals lines when the growl is mixed with pig █ █ █ █ squeal and high screamingà eh). Surprisingly the production █ █ █ █ value of this Promo 2010 is bigger than of the Writhing █ █ █ █ demo, as it really sounds professional and I guess I can █ █ █ █ say that it is good enough for an album, sounding almost █ █ █ █ like some of the Hertz Studio releasesà but all in all this █ █ █ █ just isnÆt my kind of music. Oh, interesting is the fact █ █ █ █ that the band line up includes a couple of Seth / Enthroned █ █ █ █ members. █ █ █ █ █ █ █░█ █░█ █ █ 1. Writhing - Indomitable 3:12 █ █ █ █ 2.
