Mykorrhiza - _Mykorrhiza_
(Konqueror Records, 2002)
by: Pedro Azevedo (4 out of 10)
This rather brief (just over 16 minutes long) EP by Mykorrhiza serves
as an introduction to the band's mostly fast-paced thrashy death
metal. Unfortunately, it failed to leave me in any great anticipation
of the full-length they have released in the meantime [which will soon
be reviewed in CoC]. These Swedes alternate their death/thrash attack
with some unexpected clean vocal choruses, and whilst the effect is
somewhat strange, at least it gives the band something to build upon.
The flat, relatively lo-fi production doesn't help the band at all on
this EP, and since there is neither great tightness nor remarkable
songwriting to be found, the whole affair rapidly becomes forgettable.
It's not that this is a terrible record; it just doesn't really have
anything good enough to capture the listener's interest and at least
partially disguise its shortcomings.
