Grindhead Records, 2006

Silovanje, which means ‘rape’ in Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian language, is one of the most brutal death grind bands down under. Taste of Death is band’ debut album, a very short one, but very intense, brutal and interesting. There’re a few things I like about this album. First I like the guitar attack performed by guitarist Sam, contributing with fuller and thicker sound. From the very beginning of the album the guitars are in front, being heavy and brutal. Interesting enough there’re quite few solos on this release, which is unusual for this kind of music. I also like pure, powerful and raw vocals esp. on tracks like “I raped the rapist” and “Silovanje”. On the other hand I’m not a big fan of this form for programmed drums. Lyrically speaking the band is cliché, singing about rape, sex, violence, death and other ‘brutal’ topics. The band reminds me a lot of some of the 90s American brutal bands such Cannibal Corpse, The Berzerker and Dying Fetus. In general I liked Taste of Death a lot being overall a very decent and nice grind album. I can highly recommend you to check these guys out esp. if you’re a fan of above mentioned bands. www.myspace.com/silovanje or www.grindheadrecords.com
