Crutch is the early incarnation of what is now Aletheian. I got a copied version of the album sometime much later due to the company i used being extremely slow in downloads. The whole album is slow and a bit less technical than the Aletheian material but still i find there needs to be something, but i don' know what it is. Track 9 "Proverbs" is obviously the best song on the album and blasts in with a mad crazy guitar lick with a person speaking in the background. This song raises up the whole album, but then there always has to be something to ruin that. Track 3 "A Cold Dark Whisper" ruins number 9's good doings. The song is poorly put together with a really crappy guitar overdrive and crappy sounding drums that sound like trash cans. The vocals and bass are off and doing their totally own thing. This drops my overall expectancy for what good can come out of this band. Overall Rating 6.3/10
I went to see Obituary this past november with my pal and we saw this one amazing band called Dimentianon. Although the guitarist has pentagrams and inverted cross tattoos, he's still a really chill guy. (He's actually the chapter leader of NYDM {New York Death Metal} and LIDM {Long Island Death Metal}). We met the singer M. and bought their album off of him and he gave us this demo of his band with the drummer and guitarist of Dimentianon and other members. I brought it home and didn't listen to it in depth the first time i heard it. Zoltan (guitar for Dimentianon) formed the band in England, only to relocate in the Netherlands; so half the members are there and half the members are in Commack, New York. The 2nd time i listened to the demo was to add them to metal archives. The demo starts out with and intro that has keyboard interludes and sound samples from the movie Silent Hill. It freaks you out when you first hear it. The rest of the demo is basic straight up death metal with blackened vocals, very quality though. Overall Rating: 6.7/10
