Phantom Pain
The Hypocrite
Rating
Style: Death/thrash metal
Release date: 2008
 

After Prey for Nothing here's another band from Israel. There is more going on, on the Israeli metal scene than I thought. This self released EP has a good sound and looks very professional. The band has not found a style of their own, but the songs are of a good quality.

 

The aggressive grunting and sometimes guttural vocals combined with modern Death/thrash with a kind of groove and Swedish influences make this a nice EP. I think that there will be some interest from labels in the band. Not that they are very original, but what they play, they play good and a band from Israel is again something different.

 

If you are in for some good sounding Israeli Death Metal, take your chance.
