Terror Drome

Pre-Production 2006

Self-financed 2006

Relentless is the perfect word for this vicious onslaught.  Hailing from a land that is more famous for its black metal leanings (Rotting Christ, Necromantia, Varathron) and pretentious metal like Septic Flesh, Terror Drome unleash mercilessly brutal death metal with a hint of grind.  Though you can hear the hints of their original Floridian Death metal influences such as Monstrosity, they now bear a stronger allegiance to some of the more all out assaults of modern entities such as Nile, Origin, and Hate Eternal as it says in their bio.  To understand why I say this check out track three Infected Fornication for a dizzying display of guitar madness as the squeals bend to chugging rhythms and then bounce into a miniscule melody before insane squealing once again or on the whirling depravity of opening track Disputing the Throne.  Terror Drome has progressed admirably from their first two demos to this point.  Though Intravenous Multiplication and Sane-in-Sane had rumblings of individuality and song dynamics, neither of them possessed the same sort of impact when it came to songwriting as does the Pre-Production release.  Peter Ouzounis' vocals are so deep and guttural I am convinced he has some sort of throat deformity.  Antonis batters away on his drum kit like a coke addicted speed freak.  It is sometimes hard to believe that anyone would have the stamina for something this mind numbingly fast.  The production is pretty good despite this being a preproduction release.  I feel the guitars could be brought up in the mix a little and maybe the vocals brought down a tiny bit.  But these are minor discrepancies and overall this is a solid slab of music.  This four song taster gives an excellent and accurate feel for what lies ahead upon the release of their first full length album later this year.
