No, this is not the American or Greek Sickness. Rather, this is the fairly unknown German band, with one of the earlier Folter Records releases. The album is based around war it seems, as the packaging has various distorted war photos. Most of the lyrics are in German, and the music can best be described as old-school death metal, mixed with some black metal influences.

This could have been a decent album, but the production is just so fucking miserable. It really did not impress me in the least, simply because it's terribly quiet sounding, and in no way does it fit this music at all. The music isn't so great either, simply because it's so simple and boring. There's no real atmosphere or brutality.

Mostly death metal for the most part, there's also some minor black metal vocals heard in the background at times. This reminds me of Deicide actually, although slowed down, and without any real technical ability. Yes, this is nothing more than background music, and fairly miserable sounding background music in that respect. What more can be said about such a bland and unimpressive release? Nothing really! Not worth tracking down outside of a tape trade.
