Konkhra is one of the most respected danish trash death metal bands over the
seas due its good taste on making music as well as the power the give to
every album. "Reality Check" is the last of them all ´till date, and as I
could notice, their most mature and stomping one, but I say Konkhra never
was a band that I liked so much. "Reality Check" is a trash death bomb from
beginning to the end, with really devastating and powerful rhythms. Sound is
vast, rounded and like a fist-in-your-face. Guitar sound so heavy but
excellent defined, with shines!. Surely, part of this guitar power sound
comes from the enormous and dense bass sound, that smashes melodies to
give´em more consistence. We could say the same for the drums, that sound in
the first line, but maybe a bit less than guitars, but present and
merciless. Tracks as the opening one, "Warmonger" or "The Lions Are Hungry"
are a real houwitsers of heavy and fighting trash death aggressivity with
some vintage melodies, but played as the new school says. For all the fans
of Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad, Jungle Rot, Meshuggah and similars. If
you liked previous assaults from this band, throw your head into the store
and buy this work, but if you thought as me and didn´t like Konkhra so much,
listen to it, and perhaps you change your idea about them.
