Release: CD

Thirteen years after their formation, Greek and Swedish metalheads “Insidead” advanced towards the release of their debut album called "Chaos Elecdead". Quite a while, but in the meanwhile the band matured, did some live appearances, learned the ways of the studio work and made contacts with people in the music business enriched the development of the band's experiences.
But the band really got successful when they had the chance to play (and of course even more after playing) during the summertime of 2008. The band performed at Rockwave Festival alongside with world-famous bands such as Judas Priest, Cavalera Conspiracy, Morbid Angel and Carcass.
Their debut album witch probably will be in stores when you read this probably will make some mixed opinions. It has certain trash metal elements like the typical fast muted blast beats, tempos and rhythm changes. But on half of the songs the chorus changes into either sinister melodic death metal or just melodic metal. In its own right this isn’t a bad thing, it brings variety but to be honest, they way they do it actually turns some of their coolest songs with amazing vibes to just rubbish and make them sound pretty lame. Even here and there a few faulty notes on the vocals, so production wise, I have my questions about this one.

50/100
