PSYCHOBOLIA
”Chiaroscuro”
(Great Dane Records)
Battle Helm Rating
If I hadn’t known I would have guessed that this is a French death metal band. Why? Because they have that quirkiness that is so common for French death metal bands. Instead of going from point A to point B they seem to be all over going from C to D to F to E to G to H and then back to A to B to E to H… You get my point. Trying to keep up with them is like running a marathon in terrain. But in all this controlled chaos you’ll find a really cool death metal album. if you like bands like Meshuggah turned up to 13 or think that Cannibal Corpse are as soft as a freshman prom night then this is the stuff for you. If you excuse me, I’ll just pick up my jaw from the floor now. Anders Ekdahl
