Thy Sexxxmageddon

(2005 Self-Released Promo)

This is their third official release & the most clear sound to date as compare to debut album ‘Eye Of Deviant’ or ‘Polymorphous Perversion”. They still carry on the guitar-base melodic black metal without any keyboard input but it’s more thrashing than ever. The music is like Marduk meet Impaled Nazarene meet Kreator. Some riffs are the most enchanting they have ever created like at the end of the song entitled ‘Thy Devilish Drama’. Sometimes, it’s sound like they have two guitarists. Naz’s vokill is so clear but the one thing I’m a little bit disappointed is about the drum sound. It’s hard to hear the double paddle & the beats not really attract me. They re-recorded an old song entitled ‘The Borneo Chaosmaker’ & the last song is a cover of Kreator, ‘Tormentor’. It’s brought in the original composition but the vocalization is not in the Petroza’s style. Hahaha… Naz, no. 195, Fasa 1, Lorong Bunga Fatuma 10, Rmh Murah Kepayan, 85200 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. www.mantakdeviant.cjb.net
