Album Review
It so happened before I put to listen BURIED IN BLACK to have PANZERCHRIST’s ‘Ode To A Cluster Bomb’ on (from ‘Regiment Ragnarök’). The conclusions were immediate. I was bored to death. Maybe this band from Hamburg tries to rewrite a new definition of Death Metal in order to include the aforementioned example of exaggerated boredom. To put it clearly - they are influenced by Thrash and Death Metal bands from the mid 80’s but these bands did not just “formed” their sound as they say in their promo material, they have actually trapped them inside it. Everything sounds fine in it, as if it were a puzzle which pieces are connected somehow but the result is very predictable. One can hardly find any traces of imagination in it. Surely the best moment of the album is ‘Godseed’, not because it is closer to the old Death Metal forms but because in it the band actually expands a theme in a more aggressive and interesting way. This CD, their first one, actually is a step back from the by far more interesting first EP of theirs, ‘Hands of Armageddon’. Guys take my two-pennies advice; freedom begins as an act of patricide. I don’t think that there’s anything more to say. This ‘Black Death’ proved to be a minor case of common flu.
