There are always times in doing reviews that I come
across a band that is completely new to me, and it gives
me that experience of wonder. Will it be something
special or just a waste of plastic? Much like we all
have gone through, mainly when we step into a record
store and are perusing the bins for something new to
strike our fancy. Be it the cover art or a
recommendation, we all take a chance on something new or
unknown on occasion. With TÚMULO, I have experienced the
same sense of wonder and curiosity. I have never heard
of the band, and although they are located in
Switzerland, the lyrics and titles, and the band name
itself are all in Portuguese. Transplants perhaps? So
upon pressing play, you can color me surprised, in a
good way, mind you. So let me back track a little bit,
I'm a huge fan of Thrash Metal, and I do enjoy many of
its sub-genres. Bands like WRAITH, TOXIC HOLOCAUST,
SADISTIC FORCE, NIFELHIEM and CRUEL FORCE all strike a
chord with me and get me raising the devil horns on
numerous occasions. This band and its sound are heavily
influenced by, and if not derivative of, the
aforementioned bands. So here is the thing on my part
that makes this such an enjoyable listen. Yes, they have
the same approach as my faves above, but they play with
such energy and enthusiasm that it's hard not to get
caught up in the whirlwind of its blackened Speed Metal
energy. Plus, and this is the main kicker for me, is
that you can hear the bass! Granted, the band is a trio,
and it's to be expected, but the production highlights
this fact and gives all members their due and time to
shine. When you are a cobweb-ridden, crotchety ol geezer
like me, this can still get me thrashing about the room
in a mosh pit of my own imagining. It's such a cool
personal (sound) thing for me, and its presence is
joyfully felt on my part. So yes, nothing here is going
to change the world. It is single-minded in its approach
and minimal variety, but you cannot resist the tidal
wave of force that comes screaming out of your speakers.
So maybe all you fans of the genre, and notably the
bands I have spoken of, it would do well for you to look
into the band. Who knows, they may move atop others in
what could be your new go-to.
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
