REVIEWS:

Signs Of Dying, Desire Is Suffering - In 2001, the brutal US Death Metal outfit ‘Signs Of Dying’ released their debut mini-album “Desire Is Suffering”. The six-track CD delivers some ultra fast and technical Death Metal from this tight and proficient band. The drums are clearly electronically programmed drums, but this certainly does not take anything away from the music. Vocalist Steve Crumbley delivers a mass of devilishly deep guttural growls that fits the sheer aggression of the group’s sound perfectly. The tracklisting is as follows: 1. Perpetual Killing 2. Impaled Within The Cerebral Vortex 3. Godlike Necrophoria 4. Desire Is Suffering 5. One In Chaos 6. Vicious Cycle The album is a non-stop barrage of competent Death Metal that races through your stereo to attack your ears. The only exception to this is the instrumental track, “Desire Is Suffering.” The track begins and continues for what seems like forever, with a mundane drone of weird guitar noises and electronic effects placed on top of a tribalistic drum beat. This persists for a long time until the track finally floats into a rather beautiful and atmospheric ending. This final change in the track saves the four minute song piece for me.
