CoC : Myopia - Concentration of Suffering : Review

Myopia - _Concentration of Suffering_
(Independent, 2000)
by: Adrian Bromley (8 out of 10)

Okay... since the disc has been finished, there have been changes. Singer Dave "The Butcher", who is on the disc, is now out of the band, and there have been some other changes in the band. Fuck!? Good thing I visit their website and check the news frequently. Guess we'll have to wait and see how this affects the band live and on the next recording. As for the recording in my hand, titled _Concentration of Suffering_, this is definitely a powerful and well-executed slab of brutal death metal. This West Coast act have really done their homework in terms of applying a real congruent and sickened style to their sound. The music oozes with intensity ("Onward to Extinction" and "Salvation in Death") as the band steamrolls through 24 minutes of mayhem. Strong production and a real professional attitude may just get these guys noticed. If you like brutal death metal, then let these Canucks rock your world!
