Korekyojinn - Korekyojin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After 30 years of being one of the Northwest's busiest players, Portland bassist Kevin Deitz finally puts his compositions to disc on this wide-ranging debut recording. With fellow Portlanders John Stowell, Paul Mazzio, Mike Snider, Renato Caranto, Warren Rand, and others, Deitz' long history of performing with artists as diverse as Mose Allison, Dave Brubeck, Art Blakey and Dan Siegel shines through in his approach to composition and his dynamic group aesthetic.

There is an idea of hidden depths suggested by the title of Koreless' debut album. Agor is the Welsh word for open and it's an apt name for a recording which exists at sensory thresholds, helping guide the listener from one realm to another less visited. Agor sits at the intersection between technology, nature and humour, and the ways in which these worlds collide vary throughout the project. Through Koreless' impressive and meticulous production, the music on Agor conjures images of mythology, fantasy, cult, dance and wonder, and provokes juxtaposed feelings of pure serenity and complete chaos, of mind-boggling complexity and of sheer simplicity. It is a human electronic record, with a personal touch buried within each element, and blood and guts where the wires should be.Vol Side Track Artist Title1 1 1 Koreless Yonder1 1 2 Koreless Black Rainbow1 1 3 Koreless Primes1 1 4 Koreless White Picket Fence1 1 5 Koreless Act(s)1 1 6 Koreless Joy Squad1 1 7 Koreless Frozen1 1 8 Koreless Shellshock1 1 9 Koreless Hance1 1 10 Koreless Strangers

Hark and behold, all ye supporters of the darkest of Metal, the time has finally come. 4 years after the sheer onslaught which was InchSumerian PromisesInch, Sijjin return with their 2nd opus entitled InchHelljjin CombatInch. The German/Basque trio has delved into depths absolute, focusing their lens on the most antediluvian variety of Death Metal while bringing up a derivative of evil Thrash with utmost evil intent. The album conjures it's own life of satanic imagery, diabolical debauchery and biblical fatalism. Sijjin follow the firm path they once took but permanently turn to the south of heaven. Recorded live at BlackStorm Studios in Karrantza, Basque Country, the new songs brim over with satanic energy, countless tempo changes, vile twists and turns, a demanding instrumental performance and riffs that drag you directly to the lowest point in hell. On top of that, blessed with abysmal strength as it seems, Gericke's vocals never sounded as raspy and malevolent as on InchHelljjin CombatInch, or to put it simple, dirty as F**k. Adorned with an authentic and completely dry 80s analog sounding production, the record takes aim like fallen angels, storming the vaults in high heaven. In stark contrast to the tracks on InchSumerian PromisesInch, Sijjin's newer direction focuses on more extensive song structures as practiced by the godfathers of mid 80s Metal insanity, bringing such infamous names as Infernäl Mäjesty, Nasty Savage, Possessed, very early Slayer or Megadeth to mind. In conclusion while seeking combat in hell, the trio of Sijjin has once more ultimately testified to be the trident in the left hand of the devil. So mote it be!
