Comment:
Chile has always been a country with great tradition of quality Death Metal bands like PENTAGRAM, SADISM, TOTTEN KORPS, ATOMIC AGGRESSOR, UNDERCROFT... but after some years of emptiness, DEFACING arise to lead the new wave of ultra-brutal bands from that country.
After and impressive demo in 2003 that completely astonished the underground, DEFACING are now able to become one of the new references in the worldwide brutal Death scene. “Spitting Savagery” is an album with a great production that discovers a band that blends the most extreme brutality with the finest instrumental precission.
Taking influences from bands like CRYPTOPSY, BRODEQUIN & DISGORGE (usa), this work goes one step beyond and will impress everyone with its extraordinary perfection in every aspect!!
No se si a todos les ocurrirá lo mismo, pero en mi caso me ocurre con frecuencia que debo enviar música hacia afuera, a algunos amigos o simplemente a contactos que me piden lo mas granadito y destacado de la escena metalera local. Y uno obviamente trata de buscar lo mas selecto o aquellas joyitas de exportación como para “sacar pecho” y decir… escucha esto... es chileno.
El primer larga duración de los serenenses DEFACING, titulado “Spitting Savagery” (y que viene siendo algo así como “escupiendo salvajismo) es precisamente uno de esos discos que una recomendaría a ojos cerrados, es brutal, es técnico, suena bien y nada tiene que envidiarle a verdaderos monstruos del genero como DEEDS OF FLESH, CRYPTOPSY o LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY. Mezclando una brutal dosis de Death Metal técnico con bastantes elementos Grind, lo que resulta es un sonido exquisito, el verdadero soundtrack de una carnicería demente y putrefacta. Una voz ultra gutural y podrida y un trabajo en batería que es por decir lo menos asombroso, suena perfecta, nítida, agresiva, llena de cambios, realmente animal.
Soy hace tiempo un ferviente admirador de toda la larga lista de bandas de Death Brutal/Grindcore que hay en el mundo, y no creo pecar de exagerado o nacionalista al decir que este discazo poco o nada tiene que envidiarle a bandas en el exterior, esta absolutamente al nivel de las circunstancias y es un digno sucesor para su primer trabajo. El demo “The Beginning of Human Cruelty” lanzado el 2003.
El disco transita por nueve tracks realmente insanos, mas menos de un promedio de tres minutos cada uno, y donde destacan pistas como: “Endorsement of the Eternity”, (la que es mi favorita), “Fllagelated by Insanity” o “Captive in Agony” solo por nombrar algunas, de hecho, otra particularidad de esta placa es que es sumamente homogénea, es decir, el nivel no decae en ningún momento y desde el momento que escuchas “Into the Vile”, realmente no puedes parar hasta que la masacre termina.
DEFACING esta compuesto por Edvile en los reflujos, Juan Corp y Diego en las guitarras, Joe Fekalizator a cargo del bajo y lo más destacado por lejos de la banda, Claudio Popeye Engman en la batería. No es mi intención en ningún momento desmerecer el trabajo de los demás integrantes de la banda, ya que todos son muy talentosos en lo que hacen, pero la demencia de Claudio en los tarros va más allá de cualquier análisis, sencillamente notable.
No se si el 2005 nos regale un disco mejor que este en la escena extrema nacional, si les gusta el Death Metal brutal o las nauseabundas melodías del Grind yo no iría a comprarlo, si no que derechamente correría por el. Un imperdible, un discazo de principio a fin. Desde ya estoy esperando que estos cinco señores pisen suelo santiaguino para presenciar en vivo toda la fuerza de un disco realmente brutal.
Being unable to find any background information on this band that was in English, let's just say that Defacing is from Chile and they had a demo in 2003, and Spitting Savagery is their first release, on Spain's Xtreem Music. Honestly, you don't need much more history on them than that. What you DO need, is to hear this album, it's easily the best brutal death release so far of 2005, possibly even going back farther than that.
Putting the CD in, pushing play and the music starting is the equivalent of stepping out your front door, minding your own business, and BAM! being hit by a Mack truck... followed closely by a Greyhound bus, and then a tank. If you're looking for in-your-face aggression and brutality, this is the album you've been waiting for. It's got speed, technicality, and flat-out violence.
The guitars and bass are tightly woven and intricate; the drums are ungodly fast, sounding almost like a machine gun, and the vocalist has what all brutal death vocalists should strive for, the perfect growl. Not pitch-shifted, not the shouty bellowing grunt kind... but deep, booming, ferocious growliness. The songs move right along and never get old no matter how many times you play the disc, and this is only their first album!!
This is one of those bands you'll definitely want to keep an eye on as their careers progress. It will be interesting to see where they'll go from here, I don't know if it's possible that they can get any heavier than they already are. Let's hope they don't change their style any. For fans of brutal death, completely essential. For those who aren't fans of the genre, this album will make you one.
Yeah!. Defacing are without doubts the most fucking brutal band from Chile ever!. If you just carry the savagery of Internal Suffering, mix it with complex arrangements from Cryptopsy and the intensity of Brodequin, you'll be in front of Defacing. Ultra guttural vokills (totally impossible to vocalize!), unmercyful unnatural drum beating (it seems sometimes like a mad deviated drum machine!), and some good riffs makes this album a very good piece of shit to blow out your thin mind.
This item is only similiar in brutality to Brodequin's "Festival Of Death", so if you like more calmed music, this is not for you at all!
Hace unos meses me avisaron de que el debut de este grupo chileno iba a ser de órdago, una masacre musical en toda regla. Desde luego no se equivocaban, poco más de media hora de música apocalíptica sin descanso. Las influencias son variadas, pero todas con un referente común la brutalidad sonora: vienen nombres como CRYPTOPSY, DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE... vamos, de lo mejorcito del Brutal Death.
Se formaron en 2001 con muchas ganas de no dejar títere con cabeza, lo cual quedó bien demostrado con su demo "The Beginning Of Human Cruelty", con un sonido más que decente y dónde su gusto por el Brutal Death con envoltorio de la vieja escuela quedaba más que expuesto.
DEFACING cogen todas sus evidentes fuentes de inspiración y las combinan con un regustillo old school y una producción que potencia las cualidades del grupo. Potente y pesado sonido, pero sin grandes pomposidades lo que ayuda a crear el aura sucia que es tan acorde con el espíritu del grupo.
Las composiciones, aunque lineales en su estructura y planteamiento, tienen un desarrollo bestial, lleno de calidad instrumental de todos sus componentes, desde el increíble batería, pasando por la tela de riffs que los guitarristas confeccionan sin titubeos, y terminando con una voz brutal, heredera del mejor Lord Worm de los primeros CRYPTOPSY. Destacan temas con detalles clásicos de grupos como IMMOLATION, con acelerados solos atonales de los guitarristas como "Flagellated By Insanity" o "Curse Of The Deformed Fetus". Las voces guturales de Ed Ville se combinan con otras más agresivas, estremecedoras que hacen de temas como "Spitting Savagery" o "Captive In Agony" auténticas películas de terror.
El disco se cierra con una versión del temazo de CRYPTOPSY "Phobophile", bastante fiel al original aunque sin conseguir el aura maligna que los maestros canadienses consiguieron en su disco "None So Vile".
Desde luego no aportan nada en especial a la saturada escena extrema, pero ganas y buenas maneras no les faltan, así que habrá que dar una oportunidad al que probablemente sea el grupo más bestia de Chile. Sólo falta que consigan sacar su propuesta más lejos, pudiendo entrar entre los gustos de los oídos cada vez más exigentes del público extremo. Recomendado a todos aquellos que disfruten con el buen Brutal Death Metal sin grandes superproducciones pero con honestidad.
Personally, I would have preferred the vocals to be a bit more distinct, but as long as they stay away from the pig/frog approach, I am ok with it. Especially when the music to back them up is as powerful as in the case here. "Spitting savagery" is a severe onslaught of rarely heard brutality. The music is modern and ultra-brutal yet at the same time has quite memorable riffing. Without a doubt one of the better new bands from Chile. Great production as well.
