This review does not exist! - 70%

oneyoudontknow, August 15th, 2009

This review does not exist! Neither does SCID nor their debut full-length Injected. So if you follow these lines with your eyes, then you will read something that stands in contrast to the rules of physics and reality. Why is this so? They are from Bielefeld and it is widely known in the world, the universe and all alternative realities that this town does simply not exist. So how would I be able to own an album recorded by persons -- are they really real? -- from this non-existent place? Impossible! Preposterous to state.

In case you do not believe me, you can easily check the causality of Bielefeld with these three questions:
1. Do you know anybody from Bielefeld?
2. Have you ever been to Bielefeld?
3. Do you know anybody who has ever been to Bielefeld?

As the existence of the town, the musicians and this release can be doubted, it is necessary to write the review -- this piece is supposed to be for those who refute the aforementioned aspect and are further part of the conspiracy -- in the proper grammatical form.

Under the supposition and the theoretical framework that Injected is indeed part of my music collection, then the following description of the band's art can be given: a mixture of brutal death metal and grind-core can be found here, but the compositions are not limited to one style of tempo. These would then range between midtempo and fast; calm and aggressive; groove-influenced and blast beats. A lot can be found on this non-existent release and on which SCID might have attempted to offer no monotonous or minimalist style of brutal death metal; each composition comes with a new set of arrangements; my personal favourite would be: Exit: Hate, because in contrast to the other tracks its first part has a nice drive, which would later progress into blasts. The vocals' style could be describes as growls with some rare screams; a reference might be Corpsegrinder Fischer of Cannibal Corpse.

Drilling In The Brain (Rage Against the Machine cover)
Well, this is a strange cover version of Killing in the Name and it is difficult to state whether it is a good or bad one. The extreme kind of vocals are of course a facet which did not appear in the original, hence the listener has to get used to it. Of the dynamics of the original not everything has been kept, as the Germans play this song in a faster style. An ambiguous experience.

Ghostriders in the Sky
Another cover version can be found at the end of the release and it is even stranger than the first one. The style of the music is different from the preceding compositions and rather in vein of a pop/rock song with grind-core growls in the background as well as some sort of screams in the chorus part. Good for listening to it once or twice but nothing more.

Final bits and bytes
So, would this release exist and would the band exist as well as the town they are from, then I could state that the music is interesting and well crafted. Yet, as the evidence speaks against this hypothesis, I am unable to give this statement. To present a recommendation under these circumstances is absurd, because it deals with an object contrary to the understanding of the majority of the people; those who refuse to follow the Bielefeld conspiracy theory belong to it of course. Even though the cover versions are a bit bland, the rest of the music is actually not bad, so this non-existing release can be listened to.

So, should you able to lay your hands on this release, then you have proven that there are holes in the theory about time and space.
