Yog-Sothoth - "Conversion"
(Finland, Self released, Slow Black/Death Metal, 2003)
Finally a band with this lovecraftian name (sorry but I've really needed to say that). Musically this is some kind of slow Black Metal but the deeply growled voices, which are of such an inhuman nature (you would rather think that they are coming from a grave than from a human throat), is giving to it a Death Metal approach. The song "In Slumber" is almost Doom with that slow guitar attacks from the beginning which turns at the middle of the song into a brutal piece of Black Metal and then turn again to that haunting slow doomish atmosphere and then ends with that brutal and high speed Black Metal storm. "Slaughtered Perish" is the fastest song in here and the simplest in composition. A small complain for the vocals which are used properly all the time.
Yog-Sothoth - "Promo"
(Finland, Self released, Death/Grind, 2003)
A new release from the one man band called Yog-Sothoth. The style is Death Metal with Grindcore touches. This band sounds like Abdominal Cavity but with longer songs and a different lyrical approach. The songs are played very fast again I mention the very good drumming and the vocals which I think that are the best. You can get this 3-track promo from the address below. Oh, I've almost forgotten to mention, there is a song here which has lyrics taken from the book of "Necronomicon"! Beware!
