history
The band was founded in 2001 by five musicians. The first appearances followed as well as various line-up changes. In addition, several demos were released before the debut album Worldwide Hypnotize was released in January 2012 via Massacre Records . The album was recorded at the end of 2010. This was followed by tours through Europe together with Chimaira , Suffocation , Origin , Cattle Decapitation and Cryptopsy . In addition, the group was seen at the Bloodstock Open Air . In January 2014 the second album under the name Rottendam followed via Eternal Sound Records . Then the guitarist and songwriter Tommi Helkalahti left the line-up, after which the band paused for a long time. With a new line-up, the EP Total Lack of Communication followed in 2015 . The next album followed in September 2016 via Saarni Records under the name The Era of Precarity .
style
Dominik Winter from Metal Hammer wrote in his review of Stop This Evolution that it was Death Metal in Scandinavian style with a strong Thrash Metal influence. The song Shieldshock offers a “ scream-grunt mix ” and briefly has a groove that is reminiscent of Napalm Death . In the other songs, the group combines melodies and blast beats . In a later issue, Anzo Sadoni reviewed Hypnotize Worldwide . The group says that they try to play Gothenburg style Death Metal , which you can also hear from the music, but a comparison to Callenish Circle or Detonation , which would play a more extreme version of Melodic Death Metal , is more accurate . The group also incorporated elements from modern metal such as gang shouts and breakdowns . In the same issue, Dominik Winter interviewed Jouni Matilainen. The group play a mixture of Thrash and Death Metal and can be classified between The Crown and Machine Head . In addition, influences from Black Metal and Grindcore can be heard. Matilainen stated that the album was trying to criticize modern society. According to Andreas Groh from rocktimes.de , mainly Death Metal can be heard on Rottendam , with Thrash Metal as well as Grindcore parts. However, there are no permanent keyboard sounds, as is usual in Finnish Metal , but "two shredding guitars that also occasionally sprinkle leads and pounding drums". The singing consists of " grunting " and " barking ".
