Infected/Infected Generation/Metal Scrap Records/2012 CD Re-Issue Review


   Infected  are  a  band  from  Ukraine  that  plays  a  death  metal  with  a  grindcore  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  1996  album  "Infected  Generation"  which  was  re-issued  by  Metal  Scrap  Records  during  the  year  of  2012.

  Drums  range from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  in  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffs  that  dominate  throughout  the  recording  with  some  bass  leads  being  utilized  at  times.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  incorporate  a  great  amount  of  thrash  and grindcore  influences  in  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  a  very  melodic  sounding  death  metal guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  classical  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  briefly  they  use  finger  picking to  add  some  darkness  to  the  music.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts  as  well  as  some  clean  singing  being  utilized  on  one  song,  while  the  lyrics  cover  philosophical,  hateful  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  powerful,  strong,  heavy  and professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present on  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Infected  are  a  very  great  sounding  death  metal  band  with  a  grindcore  edge  and if  you  are  a  fan  of  this style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Infected  Generation"  "Alcoholic  Storm/Flotsam  And  Jetsam"  "Pimply  Life"  and  "Sova".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
