Nervecell - Psychogenocide
It seems like a sign of progress that there are Extreme Metal bands from the Middle East. In this case, Nervecell is from Dubai, in the UAE, and the group’s form of Death Metal is very precise and modern, especially the phenomenal drumming of session skin-pounder, Psycroptic’s David Haley. The Behemoth influence is a little hard to miss, which is more a compliment than anything else. Not that these guys need the help, but Nile’s Karl Sanders contributes guest vocals on the track “Shunq (To the Despaired…King of Darkness),” which is supposedly the first Death Metal song to ever have both Arabic and English lyrics. That’s cool and all, but I’m not really sure how much it matters without a lyric sheet in front of you. What is more important (to me, at least) are the riffs, the monstrous vocals, the aforementioned drumming, and how well they all come together with a nearly flawless recording and production, to make songs as intense as they are memorable. Psychogenocide is truly an impressive work of Death Metal art.
