CoC : Death List - Severed : Review

Death List - _Severed_
(Cross Rhythms Music, 1998)
by: Alex Cantwell (8 out of 10)

This is a release which does not require a long review. I believe that I can sum up this CD with simplicity and conciseness, that will provide you, the reader, with a clear image of the music. It might be irresponsible and unprofessional (which, of course, I am) of me to write such a short review and then simply compare Death List (formerly known as Obliteration) to other bands, assuming it would suffice to explain to you what this sounds like. However, if my saying that _Severed_ sounds like equal parts of Fear Factory, Sepultura, and Napalm Death, and you don't get a clear image, then a clear image you shall never obtain (sounds like a Yoda proverb, eh?). Let me add that a real photo of a girl being severed at the neck is in extremely bad taste, although not without a message (martyrdom).
