Coldworker
Coldworker was founded in early 2006 by
Nasum
drummer Anders Jakobson shortly after the
sad demise of that band (due to its founder,
Mieszko Talarczyk,
dying in the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster).
While there are grindcore influences here and
there on
The Contaminated Void, in general
this is far closer to typical brutal Swedish death
metal than true grindcore.
As such, it's got all the right elements for prime
death metal, such as bludgeoning riffs, gruff
vocals, and a good, if not dense production.
It doesn't exactly overpower with originality, but
then again this is a young band perhaps still
looking for a direction.
The Contaminated Void is solid if unspectacular,
but a safe bet for fans of old-style Scandinavian death metal.
