Centinex – “Bloodhunt”
I know some people, bands included, that really hate, or at least dislike reviews that compare “this” to “that” bands sound or influence. Most of the time, it’s not good if a “critic” is too lazy to explain what a band really sounds like. However, if done correctly, a reader will have a pretty good idea of a band’s sound, if the review is accurate. Centinex’s “Bloodhunt”, I think, is what Dismember’s “Pieces” Ep would have sounded like as a full release. Centinex doesn’t have any intros. or outros. with this one. Just six songs of intense Swedish death metal in the (good) tradition of Entombed, etc… Yes, Centinex is also from Sweden. No black metal heard here. Only that low-tuned riffing, fast pace material, a strong voice, like one would find from the “Left Hand Path”, or “Like An Ever-Flowing Stream” era, except that Centinex is more “concentrated”, more speed, on top of speed, and continuos speed, with the guitar and drums that have machine-like precision. Centinex does not allow to rest, you can rest when the CD is done!
