Sil Khanaz - Pendita Gila
Pendita Gili is supposed to be a release made in 1995, but it seems like it's been reissued! Interesting indeed!I guess there isn't much to say! The Malasian outfit plays a blend of old school thrash and old school death metal, and the blend is quite a good one, however the dominant one sounds more to be thrash, with few hints of groove.
Right, the first track 'Kiss of the Whisper' is quite a bad choice. Besides having a semi-badly produced release (which is conceptual), the spoken female voice sounds quite odd, and so unexpected that it doesn't fit neither by production. At least the good solos and melodies compensate quite a lot.
The guitar work reminds me quite of the old school times (heh good olde times), especially the typical long Thrash solos but not excluding the rhythmic structure. That is the representation of the first four tracks. From track five (Sinner Burning), till track 7 reflect a representation of another recording, judging by the production and a bit by the compositions that features a strong old school Death Metal Orientation, especially through the drumming blast-beats.
Speaking of drums, for some reasons they use a drum machine. I cannot complain about the programming as it is properly made, but the sound leaves much to be desired in Thrash. In fact having a Thrash music production with a semi-digital drum machine sounds can be problematic for old school metal lovers.
The whole album contains another 2 tracks, the last 2 tracks which are both electro (huh!) remixes. There is a remix for Sinner Burning, where a metal version of the song is also featured into the album. As such the remix is poor and too monotonous.
The same guitar composition, accompanied by few analog sounds, passages sounding like TB303's, and the drum programming typical of drum'n'bass and breakbeat. The next and final song is Bara Pawaka. That one sounds more Industrialized and better than the previous song.
To conclude here, I cannot say that the release is bad, but I cannot say that the album is that good especially the electro songs, although the ideas are good, the remix could be better, and the same with the drum machine sound in the whole album.
