Three years after their debut, the Greek
BIO-CANCER
has not changed. If in their young attempts they were punk middle tempo thrash
metal, now they are selected by
Candlelight Records
for something completely different.
The thunder in the short intro leads us in the eye of the storm where the ultra
fast speed thrash meets vocals like these of
Dani
Filth
on fast motions. The wall of sound is powerful but chaotic. The solos also are
fast swaths in the high frequencies without conquering the tops of virtuosity.
Churl backing vocals support the main voice on every couplet or chorus. Calmer
passages and riffs make the picture diverse. Although them the songs of the
Athens’s quintet remain unified and similar one to another.
The chasing of speed in combination with the sound in the high frequencies makes
the impression for listening on fast motions. If I still had my old cassette
recorder, I would be embarrassed! The over energy of
BIO-CANCER
is not supported by
master’s control over the instruments neither from memorable achievements in the
composing. With no doubt, they do not miss a style but it is not focused yet on
the making a memorable album. The band is in the framework of
blackened thrash,
for which fans
is made "Tormenting
the Innocent."
But the sound is better than the aiming demo productions without over jumping
the middle level.
