Cataract - Golem

"Golem" CD was released in the last month in 2000 under Ferret Records as the debut album by these crucial Switzerland's Metalcore band - Cataract. Contains "only" 9 tracks which each of them running for 3 minutes in average duration. Latest at the hyperspeed-beginning and the doublebass attacks of "Two Seconds" it's totally clear that Cataract are as big Slayer Fans as half of the Rock Hard readers. While cataracts deal with the degeneration of sight, it is your sense of hearing that will be under full aural assault during Golem . This is one powerful and loud chunk of core; thick as a fucking brick, and crammed to the hilt with pit-inducing tempo changes and vocal roughness. The guitar work on this CD is absolutely mind blowing , Cataract has an endless supply of shredding riffage & they even unleash the hard to find metal solos. This album consistently hammers away with riff after riff, scream after yell, and relentless metal groove after metal groove.
The band posseses more than blast beats & breakdowns , they throw imelody & innovattive lyrics into the mix resulting in a dynamic listening experiance.The lyrical content consists of very introspective topics such as personal struggle and societal and religious issues. Overall, it was the best from other Cataract's effort in my opinion. But i'll let you decide..
