Notes
Enhanced CD that includes a Video-Clip for the Song “Retribution”.

Yet again we have a band who describe themselves as Metalcore who are really less hairy Death Metallers. Sure there are hardcore elements to this album, but tracks like -cutting Away- are full on D.M with some raging lightening riff runs and Honey Monster vocals. The following track -retribution- switches to more melodic DM, with even a hint of AMON AMARTH. What is worthy of note is the fact that SRTK incorporate the better elements of Hardcore to brighten up the Metal mass. Jigger-picking away from a solid mid-pace to some break neck string abuse -reborn- is actually a mature album fizzing away with youthful energy. This is music you can headbang to and punch away at the air with abandon. This is heavy music and because the band keep the tempo set to an urgent pace, there is just enough room to let the riffs breathe allowing for butchers block choppiness. The guitar interplay works well, the crisp crunch of the rhythm set against the warp of the lead insinuating into the ear with all the subtlety of a drill bit. Another aspect of the bands Hardcore side are the lyrics which again show maturity and make a change from typical Metal subject matter. That said the themes are not too dissimilar, just expressed differently. It is quite interesting to note the different way that genres articulate despair. SRTK have a full meaty sound, the production allowing for all five knuckles to connect with maximum effect, yet also preventing the band sounding too clean and clinical. With songs predominantly lasting around three minutes your interest will be maintained and where the band deliver longer tracks, they craft them so that they are proportionate as opposed to stretched versions of their shorter siblings. The band also add in short flourishes on a frequent basis that heighten the listening experience, including resorting to the occasional Hard Rock technique. The musicianship here is exemplary, one thing any Metalhead can use to good effect in any argument with those not privileged enough to understand is the fact that most Metal musicians can run rings around the purveyors of -lower- forms of music, SRTK are proof of that. Everything here is in balance from the gruff bawling of the vocalist to the insistent pummelling of the drums, which though always kicking up dust refrain for the most part from entering the blast zone. This is a hard edged album full of vim and vigour and also, importantly, thoroughly entertaining. Theyâll have to introduce quotas soon on the amount of clean looking kids that can deliver rough arsed Metal. So, on yer bike then, go experience the judder.

By just listening to the sophomore release by Germany’s Six Reasons to Kill, 2005’s Reborn, it’s easy to assume that the group members must have hair past their shoulders, dress in studs and all black, and favor white pancake makeup on their mugs. But once you open the CD booklet, five youngish, hardcore-esque gentlemen greet you — proof once more that you should never judge a book by its cover. Although there’s been a five-year break between their latest and their previous effort, the 2000 debut, Kiss the Demon, Six Reasons to Kill haven’t strayed far from their original, brutal musical path. Singer Christian Valk often sounds like your typical death metal growler, while the others boys in the band keep the rapid-fire riffs and drumbeats coming fast and furious. Unlike some metal-based bands of the early 21st century that like to keep their listeners on their toes — with a few musical detours here and there — Six Reasons to Kill play it straightforward. If it’s death metal with hardcore lyrics you want, then that’s exactly what you’ll get on such tracks as “”Symbols of Ignorance”” and “”A Cold Sensation.”” As their press release states, Six Reason to Kill may not be “”reinventing the wheel,”” but what they do, the sure do convincingly.

Six Reasons to Kill – Reborn – 90%
Well, I’m not kinda the biggest fan of Death Metal mixed with other non-Death Metal-or-Grind styles, but since there are a few very good and interesting bands, that mix Death Metal with Metalcore, and create crushing music (you can only describe Six Reasons to Kill as “”crushing””). And I was not very excited when I threw the ‘Reborn’ release into the player, but when the first song started, the music impressed me at first. Their mix of non-gay Melodic Death Metal (Carcass & At the Gates, old school) and non-gay Metalcore made me curious. I never heard of the band before, although they exist since 1999. ‘Reborn’ represents their second Full Lenght, releasing between this and the first, ‘Kiss the Demon’, only 2 Splits, with Deadlock and Absidia, both from Germany, both in the same vein as Six Reasons to Kill (further SRtK). Most of those bands mixing different styles don’t succeed, but fail in their attempt, and they deserve it. But not SRtK.

After the first song, which is a perfect opener for the rest of the album, “”Symbols of Ingorance””, a Melodic Death Metal song par excellance, they follow up with “”Cutting Away”” – beginning with blast beats and becoming really Metalcore after that. And just like I said before, this band has some old school Melodic Death Metal influences, and Carcass and AtG is the best influence you can have. This shows “”Retribution””, one of my favorite songs from the release. SRtK also shot a video for this song – a simple video, but it represents the band’s music perfectly. Christian Valk throws in some clean vocals, but thank god they don’t fuck it up, no, they just straighten it up. With “”Against All Enemies”” they made a song with a great sing-along chorus, a real Metalcore-style song. And be sure, you will bang your heads and shout “”Destroy all all enemies, that fight against you, against all enemies, justify your war.””

The cover of their sophomore release states the album title – ‘Reborn’ – an anthropomorph insect, with the head of a human and the body of an insect. Reminds me a bit of ‘Morphology of Fear’, their Split with Absidia. Their record does much to represent and advertise their bands. Especially since Marco Andree, the guitar player of SRtK, is the owner of Bastardized Recordings. They have a wide range of bands, from Grindcore, over Death Metal to Metalcore. And most of the bands sound kick ass, like SRtK, Heaven Shall Burn and Japanische Kampfhrspiele.

And they show that they can combine all these styles into one – just listen to “”Dying Peace””; roaring guitars, screaming vocals, pounding drums, and heads that bang the ground. SRtK perfectly mix fast Melodic Death Metal with slow and groovy Metalcore, adding from time to time some Grind to it, and the final product is a release that Metalcore ain’t a style that will ruin Death Metal, at least if the right bands combine it in the right way, then it will contribute great and replenishing music. The totally represent the progress of Death Metal with their bashing music, and Bastardized is doing well with having bands like SRtK on their roster.
