SLYTRACT “Existing Unreal”

SLYTRACT
“Existing Unreal”
(NoiseArt Records)
My experience with Hungarian metal is pretty much nil. Whenever I try to think of a metal scene in Hungary I end up with images of second rate Sepultura clones. Which I pretty much know isn’t true. In this day and age it doesn’t matter where you are from when it comes to playing metal. You can come from the most remote place in the world and still produce the most invigorating metal ever heard. Slytract are a melodic, not melodeath, death metal band. Pretty much like Hypocrisy is a melodic death metal band. Just so you get a general idea of what we’re talking about. There is a certain European slant to the sound. Not knowing where the band is from you’d still guess Europe. And that is reassuring to know. Having not known about Slytract before, I’m glad that I got to hear “Existing Unreal”. This was a pleasant new acquaintance. Anders Ekdahl
