The promo sheet says Silovanje�s strongly influenced by Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Devourment and Regurgitate with a twist of GG Allin. In all honesty I think it sounds more like a death metal version of SMES, Microphallus or such. Like a death cybergoregrind mix, with maybe a dose of hardcore. Some of the stuff is pretty cool while others become a little bit too much for me. For a band that holds members from both Captain Cleanoff and Berzerker I think you can kinda guess what�s going on.
Rabid, high pitch screaming vs. regular growling. The two different vocals interact in a great way, though it�s mostly growling. Riffing-wise I can see the resemblance to both Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus, but the drums are so obviously programmed that I can�t help to think of cybergoregrind. I�m not an enemy of drum machines, but Silovanje haven�t really made an effort to make it sound like real drums, and so it sounds like Blue Holocaust and the likes. About 40 seconds into #10 there�s a breakdown that gives it an even higher cyber vibe.
Some bits are great, but in all honesty I think it�s just too weird for me. I definitely like the genres cybergore, grindcore and death metal, but with the three combined it�s a bit too diffused for my taste. They have an upcoming fullength on Grindhead Records so I guess we�ll have to see what I think of their new stuff that time around. And something really bugs me about this album. No matter how hard I try I can�t decipher the track titles to be more than eleven titles, yet there are twelve tracks�
