I have known about this band ever since the release of their 2013 album, Unearthly Monument, and I really liked their follow-up EP, but somehow missed this release back in the Year of COVID. I came across it a while back and was just listening to it the other day, and was inspired to promote their material. Unfortunately, it seems the band is on-hold, but hopefully they get back together and release somthing new.

Misanthropian is a band from Stockholm that originally went by the name Mindslip and released a few demos. They then changed their name in 2005 and, five years later, released this album before promptly splitting up. For some reason, when I listen to this album, I am reminded of the Dutch band Victimizer, which would release its final album in the same year. Overall, I think this is a pretty good death metal album and would have liked to hear more from them.

5. Give Me Fire

Witness: -[*]-
This band has been around since the late 90s, and I believe began as a 3-piece unit. I know that I've heard their 2003 Art of the Insane album, and I actually thought I had a rip of it, but it seems I don't. For the past 11 years or so, I think Denata has been 1 man, Tomas Andersson, who has been there since the beginning and at the same time was also in several other bands, but only two that I am familiar with. He is currently in Seance but didn't perform on any of their early stuff that I have heard, & Freevil, which included 2 founding members of Seance and had 1 album that I just posted here. They are not a band I listened to much over the years. With all of that said, I do kinda like these 5 tracks, they speed by with a raw thrashy appeal.

I have had this rip for a looong time but it has never been a favorite of mine. I have listened to it very little over the years, but I recognized the link to Denata, so I wanted to put this one up.

I've heard this thousands of times before, but I still like what this young band is doing with these tracks. I don't think they're a finished product because there is a lot of "basic" on display here, but I think they have potential, and will be interested to see how they progress in the future.
