Biography:
Formed in 1997,
after 16 years, in June 2009 Sothis formerly Anestesia have been forced to
change their name yet again to Sawthis
because an American Black Metal band has now obtained exclusive rights to the
name. The guitarist Andrea Giordano has now left Sawthis due to musical differences and has been replaced by Janos
Murri, who has long-standing experience. Sawthis
are now finishing the mixing of their new album Youniverse.
The Logical Colours
This track
closes its embrace around the aural with a blistering malevolence as it pounds
furiously into an apocalyptic abyss. Typical of its thrash nature but none the
less immense and potent in musical quality. Vocally superb this will leave
scorch marks on the listener’s ears as it reaches its climax.
The Waking Up
This possesses
an evil thunderous rhythm with equally damming vocal enterprise. It lurches in
a jerky momentum and gives off superb primal aggression.
The voice falls on me
Powerfully
scourging, its lethal intent obvious to even the un-tuned ear. The harmonious
gait is unparallelled and possesses some mesmeric antagonistic moments with
clear unbridled rhythms.
The Disturbed
Another
venomous track that holds little regard for the ears and drenched in a solid
powerful rhythm. Confrontational it chews feverishly upon a bed of rapacious
riffs and is highly absorbing.
The Crowded Room
A more slow and
sinister track that is unique I its own right, holding compelling contagious
rhythms and deep grooves. A truly insatiable track that possesses great
harmonious qualities and powerful riffs.
The Indelible
A more
malevolent feel to this one as it brews up some mind bending riffs and quality
rhythmic sway. Eating, like a corrosive liquid into the aural it simply burns
and bristles with intensity caused by the frenzy of deep musical passion contained
within it.
The Impure Soul
A slower maelstrom
of mesmerising beats, wrap themselves greedily around the aural cavities with
sheer abandon, but soon raises the roof as the track unfolds and brings its own
rewards with a sonic array of riffs.
The Spotlight
Brilliant
atmospheric track that bubbles with intent. Richly inspiring it bounces on a
frenzied rhythm. The harmonies bring the track to a climax but although it
contains momentous musical qualities the vocals sound a little mixed up, so it
gives off the impression the vocals do not fit into the track but should be on
another, which is a shame.
The Mad
Unique track,
full of ambiance with distinct qualities, which show clearly another side to
the band, however returns to its comfort zone of thrash and harmonies quickly.
Still one powerful track that deserves credit.
The Switch
Rippling with a
mighty intense power that is all consuming and engrossing, fast and brimming with
strenuous arms and carries a jagged little rhythm that packs a punch to the
nether regions.
The Walking
Bubbling with
more intensity and a rhythm that will slap you around the head with compelling
qualities is one way to describe this track. It has an addictive presence but
that should not surprise you as whole album bar one track unleashes a certain
vicious spite and this is no exception to the Sawthis realm.
To Sum up:
One mighty powerful
album that holds more raucous moments than not. Sawthis love using the word ‘The’ and have incorporated it into all
of their tracks. The guitars simply
grasp the senses, whilst the drums expand the sound continually, with sonic
bass lures and vocal scourging complete with harmonies, this is an amazing
album. With only one lapse of intensity ‘The Spotlight’ but the rest of the
album goes on to overwhelm the listener with a rugged infusion of compelling
ferocity and so I can forgive them for that one lapse.
