11. Mutisme
12. Shadowless
13. La Mauvais Oeil

Origin - Switzerland
Style - Brutal Black Death Metal

" Weeping Birth is a one man Brutal Black/Death metal project by Vladimir Cochet, also the sole member of Mirrorthrone and Unholy Matrimony. Anosognosic Industry of the I is his third album under the moniker Weeping Birth. It is well within the sub genre of blackened death metal, with references to melodic death metal and progressive metal. The last three tracks also have clear avant garde leanings and even shows influence from ambient music and neoclassical "

" The album starts off with fast paced blast beats, angry guitars and megawatts of obvious talent. The album is extremely brutal and tightly played. The production is mostly crisp and massive, and the compositions are varied and well executed. How a single individual is able to put together an album of such complexity and consistency is simply astounding. Cochet plays guitars, bass and vocals as well as programs synthesizers and drum-machines. The music is violent, dense,and long.....sometimes too long "

" In my opinion: This could have been split into two albums...because at over 73 minutes it is very exhausting and to make it all the way through is a job in itself....However their are some tremendous ideas and playing on this record...Think the faster parts of Zyklon,Emperor,Marduk....."


All in all, if you are a fan of Black/Death metal, it is worth the money....Just try it in two parts....Or not

Kreppnar asked for this one....Listen at your own risk !


Go Ahead Brother !........Get It!

Requiem - Premier Killing League (2007)


1. Can't Afford Won't Go Forward
2. Premier Killing League
3. Isolated
4. No Means Nothing
5. From Ashes To Ashes
6. I, Terrorist
7. The System Has Failed
8. Into The Unknown
9. The Great Masquerade
10. Trapped Inside


Origin - Switzerland
Style - Death Metal


" Produced by Andy Classen, death metal producer extraordinaire, “Premier Killing League” is a fucking death metal monster, boasting an exceptionally heavy, thick production, even more so than that of “Government Denies Knowledge”, on top of layers of thick riffs, excellent tempo variations, and a thick, prominent bass. In short, this is death metal in the vein of Bolt Thrower and Blood Red Throne at its absolute finest with no fillers whatsoever. In addition, the dual vocals of the deep seated growl combined with the Mitch Harris-style backing screeches once again work extremely well on “Premier Killing League”. Throw in politically-charged, war torn lyrical content, and you have such an effective barnstormer of an album "


" This may not be completely original....Fuck it who cares!....Requiem have enough firepower to pierce through the armour of scepticism donned by today's pure death metal fans, and going by their usually combustible nature, easily blow them up along with their house out of excitement. Premier Killing League is a smashing death metal album with substance and lasting power "

Coroner - No More Color (1989)


1. Die by My Hand
2. No Need to Be Human
3. Read My Scars
4. D.O.A.
5. Mistress of Deception
6. Tunnel of Pain
7. Why it Hurts
8. Last Entertainment

Origin - Switzerland

Genre - Technical Thrash Metal

" Coroner were one of those bands that never got the attention they deserved. They started as a fast, bashing Thrash band with "R.I.P." back in '87, and they kept right on releasing albums even if nobody paid any attention, never changing their style so much as they just kept developing it, ignoring trends and fads, and never losing their integrity. Coroner were technically a Thrash band, but they brought so much creativity and musicality to what was then a glutted and stultified genre that they lifted it above genre work. "No More Color" was their third, and many would say their best album. Released right at the crest of the Thrash wave of the late 80s just as it was about to tumble down into the Death Metal trough, Coroner still stood out from the pack "


Of the first three Coroner albums, No More Color certainly qualifies as a high point. The album featured above average production (as opposed to the sonically thin Punishment for Decadence) as well as a fistful of technically savvy, well written songs. As with any Coroner album, the most prominent aspect is Tommy T. Baron's absolutely devastating guitar ability. The production allows for his guitar to sound like an entire army of sweeping, swirling and overwhelming six stringers on a mission to engulf the listener. Never content to take the easy way out on a riff, Baron simply flies all over his fretboard while avoiding Guitar Tech Boredom that afflicts most proficient guitarists. All his excellent solos and riffology make sense within the songs.Every song here is excellent. The intelligent lyrics show that drummer Marky Marquis has spent some time in front of a good book or two and "Why It Hurts" features fellow countryman Martin Ain (Celtic Frost) throwing in a few words of his own. "Last Entertainment" is another exceptional number, featuring a very Twilight Zone-styled keyboard intro and deep spoken vocals from Ron Royce...Speaking of which he had a very unique voice that fit the music to a tee.. Coroner should have been elevated to a much higher status in the world of thrash in 1989 with this release; unfortunately it seemed most of the attention went elsewhere at the time. However, nearly two decades later this album still stands head and shoulders above most releases of the era. Coroner was challenging without pandering to technical boredom and this album should be in your collection at all costs.......

Read My Scars,Mistress Of Deception are easily two of my favorite thrash songs of all time!......If you never heard Coroner..start with these two tracks....and see what was going on at the end of my era(Golden Thrash Era)

Thrash Hall Of Fame!........Period!
