Damokis/Optimist/Torn Flesh Records Net Label/2010 EP Review


  Damokis  are  a  band  from  Malaysia  that  plays  a  very  brutal  form of  grindcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2010  ep "Optimist"  which  was  released  by  Torn  Flesh  Records  Net  Label.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  grindcore  riffs  that  utilize  a  great  amount  of  death  metal  influences  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  deep  death/grind  growls  and high  pitched  grindcore  screams  along  with  some  samples,  while  the  lyrics  cover  hateful  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Damokis  are  a  very  great  sounding  grindcore  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Sounds  From Scratch"  and  "Missionary  Impossible".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
