According to the info sheet you can hear right about what you want in VICTIMIZER`s music; death, black or thrash. They released a demo, \u201cDevicderin\u201d, in the nineties, made their debut with \u201cDivided As One\u201d (2003), followed by an EP, \u201cThe Spiral Dawn\u201d, and here is the all-important follow-up. They have not been signed for long, still they have opened for bands like DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, ALTAR, ASPHYX and ENTOMBED. Now they want to show themselves for a wider audience, and to secure that they\u00b4ve hired Dan Swan\u00f6 at Unisound to do the mastering. Hit it!<\/p>\n
Aaaargh, these grinding drums! Drummer Romeo\u00b4s efforts sure don\u2019t get an approval from me. Niels biting growls feel ok, and the guitars will not put me off either. But opener \u201cFor What Matters Now\u201d doesn\u00b4t build any atmosphere, which is a minus with me. The guitar solo improves matters in spite of being a bit too close to black metal. The beginning of \u201cA Psalm to the Fallen\u201d is promising, even though the drums are trigged to the max and the grinding is overkill. VICTIMIZER has a good sense of melody that they don\u00b4t make the most of since they blend in everything brutal. The fluent guitar work is proof of another possible area for development for the band. I think they are at their best in \u201cFeeding the Rats\u201d, when the melody is given space and the drumming more sensible. The best part is the lead guitar, but they need to put less emphasis on shrieks and grinding, that is for less gifted peers. Between the three outstanding songs, \u201cFeeding the Rats\u201d, Preserve from Precipice\u201d and \u201cReunited for Eternity\u201d, there are far too many hysteric moments this time around. Without ill-fated attempts like \u201cPast the Eulogy\u201d, where they feel out-of-pace amateurish and \u201cLeft Unsung\u201d, that follows suit, this is a good sign. Some important changes will no doubt get this lot far!<\/p>\n
