Amagortis is a band from Switzerland and they play Death Metal, Old School stuff, like Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation among others. This is their first full length and it's self-released. The band is composed of three men and one woman, who handles the bass duties. Before this they released a demo in 2002, and they're releasing a new album sometime around 2005. They finally signed with DeadSun Records.

Those were the facts provided by yours truly, I think more than one already know if this band suits his/her likings, is a little thing I invented to avoid waiting the precious time of our readers, in some reviews I'll post the facts before the actual review, so people can know what to expect.

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase and tell your that this is an Ok Death Metal album, nothing really new or innovative, ultra low guttural vocals combined with furious drumming and average production. The artwork is quite funny and attractive, but sadly it doesn't contain a booklet. I couldn't pick an specific song because I don't think no one stood from the rest, although the whole bass playing kicked ass all through the record.

Amagortis delivers a worthy try here, the record, although not spectacular, is quite enjoyable, some songs made me wanna headbang, and that's always a good sign, although I must admit that when I listened the record was mostly as background music while I was working (which I find an excellent way to really assimilate a record).

Good to know a label picked them up, maybe with better production, whole Cd layout and the proper promotional support, this band could go places. Even one of their songs was used as soundtrack of a splatter movie ("Evil Shit"). Be sure to check 'em out, there's some Mp3 downloadable at their site.
