Release Date: 2002 | Tracklist

Review Summary: Solid Death Metal with even blends of OSDM and brutality.

If a poll were taken of how many people listen to metal for the riffs, the numbers would be staggeringly high; in favor of riffs. Kaamos self titled, first LP release is full of desirable riffs and death metal elements. While not containing the most innovative elements they take proven techy formulas and blend it well into their own sound.

This is album that plays solid death metal while jumping into the brutal and techy areas. Now the techy elements must be really understood here. This not the wank techy where higher scale notes are used. Kaamos really focuses on the lower end riffs, but making then solid and techy as fuk such as tracks such as "The Storm of Coming" and "Khem". While the techier elements are solid it does get over used a bit and would fare better if more slower parts were blended in. The riffs are extremely desirable for what they are and are taken to a whole new level by the expert drum playing of Repugnant drummer Christofer Barkensjo. His technical refined style can be deciphered well on "Blood of Chaos"; the speeds he exudes while playing cuts and breaks alongside guitarist Konstantin, of Dead Congregation, is remarkable. Fortunately this same track does offer slower tempos and is well placed in the middle of the album.

A certain level of monotony can be found on "Kaamos", but it is mainly a good death metal album pushing more on the extreme sides; which can be enjoyed by many fans of death metal subgenres such as brutal, grind, and tech. Man do the Swedes write some awesome riffs!!

Captain, I often find spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes in your reviews. They are well
written otherwise though, I just thought you might want to know this. Proofreading helps!

"If a poll were taken of how many people listen to metal for the riffs, the numbers would be staggeringly high; in favor of riffs."

Remove the semicolon.

"While not containing the most innovative elements they take proven techy formulas and blend it well into their own sound."

Change "it" to "them."

"This is album that plays solid death metal while jumping into the brutal and techy areas." "This not the wank techy where higher scale notes are used."

Fix those sentences.

"Kaamos really focuses on the lower end riffs, but making then solid and techy as fuk such as tracks such as "The Storm of Coming" and "Khem"."

And this one.

"...the speeds he exudes while playing cuts and breaks..."

How does one exude speed?

"A certain level of monotony can be found on "Kaamos", but it is mainly a good death metal album pushing more on the extreme sides; which can be enjoyed by many fans of death metal subgenres such as brutal, grind, and tech."

Again, the semicolon.

As Pizza said before, you should give your reviews a proofread or two before hitting that tantalizing submit button. You're a good reviewer (often of albums that don't already have reviews, which is fantastic in its own right), and I always look forward to your new reviews. Good job, dude.

I can't fucking stand music, but I enjoy literature very much and I do play video games nearly every day. I'm kind of an unpaid singer/songwriter. I'm listening to Titus Andronicus right now so m/

What about you, Cap'n?

Naw, I love music just as much as I love the written word. I sing clean, although I've been experimenting with harsh. I'm working on a kind of aggressive style of acoustic. I've tried doing bands but they don't work for me because I'm too controlling, although I'm always up for another shot. I do have recorded samples but they're really rough as I do my recording with my phone. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to recording music. I once recorded a mean rendition of Katy Perry's Firework, though.

When you say family, do you mean wife and kids? And there's a reason CDs have holes in their middles.
