CD Review: Broken-Darkness Falls(2012)

I have been given the pleasure of reviewing albums now for Turkey Vulture Records

Hailing from the N.W. Suburbs of Chicago & Belvidere, IL and consisting of four members. BROKEN's hard hitting sound is a hybrid mix of modern metal and hard rock twists blended seamlessly with old school roots from where metal and thrash began. This unique mix of sounds, catchy melodies, musical hooks, and strong vocals creates a thick sound that is truly their own. BROKEN signed with Turkey Vulture Records in May of 2011 and released a new full length cd titled "DARKNESS FALLS" on January 10, 2012.

This is an raw sounding, impressive band with some good riffs and tempo for a new band they sound quite good.

But as we know a band that is considered new has always been around for a few years that's how they get signed.

I like their sound as they sound like they were recorded in someone's garage on allot of the tracks and that is what Metallica sounded like when they first started as well. There is just some rawness about this record that allot of studios frown upon and try to clean it up when the tracks are layed, but not here. That has made me happy.

Some good sounds all around.

I thank you for reading this

MOBILE DEATH CAMP

Clear and Present Anger

Boe Skadeland’s vintage Spectors drive a growly pulse-pounding low-end on this death metal rage-fest.  Deep, clear and unmistakably vintage Spector, Boe’s Kramer NS-2A and SSD Era NS-94 models manage his articulate and growly low-end sound with headroom to spare.  Boe shows why there’s no school like the old school and has earned my gratitude for proving that these older vintage models are still a force to be reckoned with.  Consider yourself learned.

BASSIST: BOE SKADELAND

BASSES: NS-2A & NS-94

BASS TONE: Excellent Vintage Spector Tone!

MOBILE DEATHCAMP KILLS IT LIVE | NEW MUSIC MONKEY

Mobile DeathCamp Kills it live | New Music Monkey.

Before a small but enthusiastic crowd,Toledo,Ohio’s Mobile DeathCamp brought along its Heavy Metal refresher course and schooled all present. Made up of  Dave Martin on Drums, Boe Skadeland on bass, and fronted by Todd Evans on guitar and vocals, the band unleashed it’s own magnificent version of speed and thrash metal with deft and surprising musical virtuosity.

The 75 minute set leaned heavily on the bands second and most recent release, Clear and Present Anger. Mobile DeathCamp’s super-tight musical show stayed focused and relentless, delivering a brutal and uncompromising set of high octane double bass thrash, the likes of which hasn’t been done properly in years. “Sesquac,” “Cover Judge” and “Human Popsicles” were all highlights in a show filled with solid and memorable performances.

Melbourne,Florida’s Prophecy Z14 was the only opening act on the bill I caught. They were a more than capable metal act, with considerable promise. Songs like “Pillar of Salt” and “Torn from the Flies” are indicative of where this band should be headed. Their secret weapon is phenomenal Bassist, Oz, whose presence proves to be a game changer, to help the band stand apart from other Metal acts of the same ilk.

Judging by the number of Mobile Deathcamp shirts recently being sported in and around the vicinity of the venue, a good time was had by all and like any artist worth their salt, Mobile DeathCamp left the audience wanting more.

MOBILE DEATHCAMP: CLEAR AND PRESENT ANGER - SAN FRANCISCO METAL MUSIC | EXAMINER.COM

Mobile Deathcamp; Clear and Present Anger – San Francisco Metal Music | Examiner.com.

The sophomore album from Mobile Deathcamp continues where their first one, Black Swamp Rising, left off. Old dogs don’t learn new tricks, but why should you when your old tricks are already great. Musically the band is still heavily set on speed metal but the sound of the new album definitely sets it apart from the older. The production value of the album is much higher and finally the band can show off their considerable talent.

The music shares qualities with the likes of Napalm Death and old Death Angel albums. The songs are short and to the point. There are no fancy preludes or overdone intros. The music is relentless guitar and bass grind with few death like stops peppered into them. There are two songs that break the pace, Emerald, which is closer to a metal anthem and doesn’t quite fit in. The other one is Uhyusti which is more deliberate tangent into a indian chant.

With more than ten bands between them makes Mobile Deathcamp surely doesn’t lack experience in performing or recording. The new drummer, Dave Martin, adds to the mix and fits in like fist in your face with Todd Evans on guitar and Boe Skadeland on bass.
