Disbelief - 66Sick
I don’t know what’s more of a surprise, that these guys are actually still around, or that this album is actually pretty awesome. The last I’d heard from this band was on the Death Is Just the Beginning 4 compilation in 1996 and not a peep since. When I put this in, I sure wasn’t expecting something this refreshing. First off, the sound is amazing. Everything is crystal clear and heavy-as-fuck! The music is Death Metal, in essence, albeit in very modernized form. I’m not gonna lie, there are traces of Nu-Metal found, but what makes this absolutely impossible to resist are the ear-shredding vocals of Karsten Jager, whose overwhelmingly tormented lungs immediately unearth memories of Martin Van Drunen (Pestilence/Asphyx). In fact, he sounds downright possessed by the man. The album isn’t quite flawless, occasionally there are some clean vocal mistakes, but as I said, an extremely pleasant surprise offering of crushing extremity. Hatred, sadness, rage, and it’s produced to perfection to boot. Optimal headbanging program: “Sick,” “Floating on High,” “For God,” “Rewind It All,” “Try,” and “To Atone for All.”
