Album Review
Have you ever had the feeling when you wished a band you once liked disbanded and found something different to do before it was too late and you had to cringe at what they’ve turned into? COMBICHRIST in ‘This Is Where Death Begins’ smells like NINE INCH NAILS with an after-taste of MAD MAX: Fury Road soundtrack, a derivate in other words. The barrage of guitars is supposed to revive otherwise empty corpse but the corpse just doesn’t want to be The Returned. Having forged a career in angry music since 2003 Andy LaPlegua seems to have run out of steam and makes music that sounds angry but the anger is just a façade and as such fails to connect with whatever authentic anger and pissed off-edness dwells in the listener and as such gives no catharsis but a yawn. It’s a caricature of its former self, if there’s such a rating as bin it, here goes it.
