Deathcage - 3 x 7''

After the kindly request for Deathcage from the good internet friend Mr. vengeance is mine aka screams from the gutter, I could not resist my self to say no to him, so I’m posting these “burning spirit” freaks from Australia…
Deathcage constitute 5 ugly individuals from around the globe and to be more specific : sweden, australia and japan (there is no one handsome japanese guy in the whole world i think). They deliver the usual awesome japcore with speedy guitars, full of hellish dog-biting riffs, some new wave of british heavy metal solos alongside thrash technique and fast drum changes... A combination that makes them so fucking tight and heavy…
We can call them “Australia’s burial” ‘cos I can hear major influences from the german wolves mainly in the way that the tracks has been written. Maybe the sound is not so heavy and clear but they are not clones…
Here you get all the three 7’’ that deathcage have released so far. Production differences from one to another make the listening far more fascinating... And they hold the death side flag quite high…
Get them all :
“From despair to where” 2008
“Chaos nightrider” 2009
“Tomorrow we die” 2009

Dbill's hour :
As posted by fifteencounts... owner Mike, Deathcage hails from Australia, a country of which we don't get many records to learn more about the scene there...at least not in greece...

To the tunes now, the aussies seem to blast some nice japcore songs with lots of thrashing metal mixed in...I'm liking the drumwork in the records, but unfortunately they sound too much ''Burial'' to me. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to get guidelines and borrow elements from older bands, but i think the result is in this case is too much ''sounding like the new japanese hardcore bands''...

My guess is that if these guys can put some more of their own personality in their music...their next releases will kick our asses harder than a kangaroo's backlash!!!

Never the less, these three 7inchers are worth the listen, with my personal preference being ''Tomorrow we die''.
