AMON - Shemhamforash
(Witchhunt Records)
This was released way back in 95 , but I just happened to get it , so here it is . Hailing from Switzerland , Amon is very
much a typical death metal band , though upon hearing this album , I would classify their music as being both death &
black metal (perhaps only in vocal aspects) . Anyway they play well for this album without too much changes in their
music structure . However , the somewhat hollow vocals sometimes come in at the wrong time & does not suit certain
parts of the riffs well . On average , the band sounds bored and this album also contains a lack of aggression in it . A
few pieces of solos injected offhand does however help to enhance some of those tracks . Anyway , considering the
fact that this album was put out so long ago , I guess I would call it a pretty decent effort on the part of the band .
House Recommendations : average release
Rating : 6.5/10
