VERMIN (NED)
A NIHILISTIC SWARM
Written by Dave Waite on Tuesday 17 October, 2006. Last updated on Tuesday 17 October, 2006
Formed in 2002, this Dutch five-piece known as Vermin have been working incredibly hard in delivering you lucky sods some mighty fine brutal death metal. Influenced by the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Deranged, Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape Plan they pack a punch others can only dream of, successfully combining the brutal with the progressive in one furious blast. ‘A Nihilistic Swarm’ is the bands second full length released by the up and coming Deity Down Records so lets turn up the volume and see what the band have to offer this time around.
Featuring a rabid fuckfest of down-tuned, bestial riffing, gravel-throated roars and a percussive drive akin to having your head caved in for eternity, Holland’s Vermin are here to serve you with a very tasty platter of some mighty fine brutal/progressive death metal. Doing nothing particularly refreshing in terms of bringing anything new to the genre, ‘A Nihilistic Swarm’ is simply what it is; fast, technical, a tad progressive and uncompromisingly brutal. The constantly changing riffs showcase the level of talent on display here and give a distinguished air to each of the 17 tracks on offer here. Whilst the production isn’t exactly what you’d call outstanding, there is enough variation and dynamic within this album to warrant Vermin as a force to be reckoned with in the death metal underground. The track ‘A Nihilist’ in particular proves that there is more to this band than meets the eye, with it’s almost Akercocke-esque progressiveness and screamed backing vocals mixed in with the otherwise unrelenting death metal fury. Although Vermin have a long way to go before they are up there amongst the genres best, ‘A Nihilistic Swarm’ shows a huge array of talent that you could do a lot worse than to check out. If you like your death metal both bold and brutal then get this before the Vermin get you.
