IBEX MOON RECORDS 2010

Release:     06-08-2010
Origin:     Germany
Length:     35:29

When, after the intro, the first song “Entombed in unknown Graves” comes crawling out of my speakers I know already where this darkness journey is going to end. I am already lost at the left hand path during the beginning of the 90’s so when this re-release is also repacked with Dismember’s “Casket Garden” there is no escape anymore. Swedish Old School death metal is presented here.

Lifeless is coming from Germany and their one and only release “Beyond Threshold of Death” was already recorded, produced and released in 2008 in a very small quantity by the band itself. Now almost 2 years later Ibex Moon gathered these pieces of brutal old school death metal from the deep depths of the grave to dismember and excruciate these 8 songs with a cover version of Dismember. The body was repacked, refreshed and released with a different cover. Most important the internal organs of the dead metallic corpse were evocated by Vesa Kenttäkumpu from the band Evocation, bringing back a glimpse of the old school 90’s feeling, when death metal was all about riffs, dirtiness, dead and horrific feelings.

Anyone that has lost his track in the early 90’s death metal boom can without a doubt also listen beyond this threshold of death metal to pick up the right path. Fans of more modern death metal or technical death metal should reprogram their map.

A decent and obscene release after more than 20 years, but still the originators have already paved the left hand path ways ago.
