Kaamos,
this old school Death Metal foursome from Sweden, is undoubtedly highly
respected and appreciated amongst so-called true Death Metal crowd these
days who are being able to capture all those musical elements tightly
together one by one that are essential and vital for this kind of Death
Metal. When the band hails such Death Metal pioneers as Possessed,
Autopsy, Grotesque, Dismember and the likes as their main influences,
it?s pretty obvious which school Kaamos comes from.
The
band?s latest album, apptly titled LUCIFER RISING on Candlelight
Records, is a great effort to prove what makes old school Death Metal so
old school sounding that it manages to throw you through a time gate
back in time; back to those times where bands like Autopsy, Morbid
Angel, Incubus, Grotesque and such wicked and grotesque sounding old
school Death Metal leagues reigned supreme. Kaamos has found that
precious heritage of the old school Death Metal legends, and they are
doing amazingly good with it.
I hooked
up with both band?s vocalist and bassist Karl and guitarist Konstantin
before their show in Helsinki 4th of February 2006, and we talked about
one of our favorite common topics ?old school Death Metal? what it is
all about - amongst other things, and lots of Kaamos -related issues
were naturally touched upon as well.//interview - read more
