Unbelievable! Imagine 77 minutes of chanting death-noise, it's a monotonous travel towards complete musical hypnosis with heaps of pathways leading away from the original deathination. That's what makes this album sor far away from predictable, so impossible to figure out just where that sound is leading to. One thing "Greatest Death" do lead to is far away from this presence, because to us this just bring us out there and into the music, into the sounds of death and desolation. "Greatest Death" control severe power of mindtripping sensations, we are hooked and close to an overdose. We want more! |

Roger Karmanik's fixation with death is apparent not only in his record label's name, Cold Meat Industry, but the band name, Brighter Death Now, and the name of this disk itself, which compiles the best tracks from a series of Great Death releases. You don't often hear about greatest hits records within the underground, which basically seems to be a contradiction. This CD is embodied proof of the possibility, however, and the inclusion of every song on this disk was fan determined through a mail-in vote. The initial releases of the Greater Death material were obscure and printed in limited editions. This CD makes the very best of this material readily available for the first time. Not surprisingly this music was dubbed "death industrial" by Brighter Death's morbid founder himself, and no name could better suit what this album entails. The music is slow and heavy, with sounds resembling someone methodically taking a hissing flame torch to a sizzling pile of gristle. Mechanical throbs and tumultuous drones carry each track through it's grizzly path, with vocal samples becoming the only trace of humanity left behind. The noises are furthered by an incestuous distortion that gives the songs a gritty texture. Brighter Death Now is as dark as it gets, and after hearing this music you'll probably agree that all the death and gloom in the titling is far from overkill. Ben Didier |
