Review: ...and the bands from Italy keep coming... Deathwork is yet another metal band from the land of spaghetti and pizza working its way out of that so crowded Italian scene. These 5 guys from Catania are present now in Tempest with their second release, a self-released MCD filled with good rhythms for the ones of you nostalgics about the end of the '80's - beginnings of the '90's metal scene. They are playing the same genre since their foundation in 2002, and that would be an aggressive and fast kind of thrash death, or how I like to call this blend deathrash. Their music is plain and simple old-styled and there are no touches of modern scene inhere, so if you are into old Pestilence, Dismember or Bolt Thrower you might give it a try. I very much enjoyed their rhythmical section which is pounding, fast, powerful and reminds me of the good ol' days. The vocals of Fabrizio are a combination of Benediction and Bolt Thrower, and yes, as there is stated on their bio, they have a few touches of grind too, but those are so few that you can't really sense them unless you listen very carefully. So, after the listening session I can say I have another good and very promising band from Italy reviewed in Tempest which makes me proud. As a PS I would ad that if this CD was released 20 years ago it would have been a highlight of the genre! Unfortunately for them, we are now almost in 2006, so there's a very little category of metalheads still listening to deathrash.
