CoC : 34-D - 34-D : Review

34-D - _34-D_
by: Adrian Bromley (4 out of 5)

This is a good demo and I'll tell you why. This demo showcases us ten songs that are delivered fast, furious, and in a totally reckless fashion: no holds barred intensity. 34-D's demo is yet another release from Mexico City that we are reviewing, a city in a country where metal music is so cherished and loved that fans eagerly await every new metallic release. 34-D is a bar-styled thrash metal/rock outfit with influences from Entombed to Metallica and even Pantera in their music. It's violent and angry and rarely does the anger within the music and lyrics subside. While the lyrics are written and sung in Spanish, not to mention the production of the record not being the best it could have been, the band's ability to hit us right between the eyes almost every song out distracts us from not really comprehending what is being sung. I like this record for the fact that the band has no set agenda on what or how they should play. It seems as though the band had a few beers, plugged in and let it all out. For those who like their music rough.
