"FALX CEREBRI" (Ep-2010)
Progressive/Experimental Metal - Self-production
ITALY - Rome
Destrudo, a group that at first glance may have a Hispanic flavor, but they are absolutely our own, or come from our capital, Rome. The Destrudo arise in the winter of 2010 with their second demo, or after we find ourselves listening to Homunculus falx cerebri, a record that if we were to judge by the cover could guess that this is a psychedelic rock band, it is an art work very imaginative and very well done from all points of view. The latest work of this group begins with the song Matter in a ghost world, from the very beginning we realized at once the quality and the sound of all, in fact, the whole is very well designed and very nice, a really nice piece though it was not for the strange electronic voice that begins in the middle piece that could turn up their nose to the purists of the genre but there is to say that does not disturb the listening. Continuing with the second piece, ie Concussion, we can not say that the song you forward in the progressive death environment that is very well studied too without marking the whole, this piece gives a nod to Meshuggah and very rhythmic structures associated with Mastodon . The third song instead puts us in front of an instrument, or the song that takes its name directly from the demo, we are talking of falx cerebri, a piece of no great length that has a sax solo (!), A group of very brave choice that pays very well to be honest. The fourth and last song of the demo ends with Lord of War, a song very much in line with the first two that unexpectedly culminates the middle with an acoustic section enhanced by a very slow speech, a situation of very successful, we could say that introspection is also a very courageous choice. Finally, we can only make compliments to this group, very courageous and very humble in some parts in other (ie do not overdo it with unnecessary technicalities) the only constructive criticism if you really must be done could affect the rhythm section, or somewhere a would be more vigorous failed in the end, however, remains a very critical to be taken with pliers because you do not have anything to criticize about this brilliant band.
Enjoy!!!

Review published on Rock Hard - May 2010 by Michele Martini
That advocated by Destrudo
is a particularly experimental
metal scene: initially conceived
as a reality devoted to extreme
sounds, the project has
gradually changed skin to
marry in this debut work
of a design philosophy focused
on the search for forms of
personal expression and
innovative rated by their very
nature to run after anything
but simplistic solutions
or discounted. What stands firmly by the three passages is a perspective that brings
together in a convincing manner and ages varied influences, channeling them into a musical
kaleidoscope that is thevariety of fantasy and its guidelines. Exploring scenarios
marked by countless nuances, Destrudo have built amulti-artistic world by entrusting
the task to their own creativity to roam freely in the conquest of new goals, to be
consolidated during the next experiment in the recording studio.
