Stillbirth - "Global Error"
2015 / CD
Rising Nemesis Records/Noizgate Records
Germany
Of the two Stillbirths in Germany, this one is definitely the most active. Since forming in 1999 they have released albums consistently since 2004's "Happy Stillbirthday Party". The band is usually categorized as grindcore, and in the press sheets they add "death metal and hardcore" to its list of musical influences. Stillbirth have nothing to do with either hardcore, or grindcore – in fact they play functional, if completely faceless death metal, of the reviled modern kind, to make matters worse. Every single thing you expect to be here is accounted for: bass drops, breakdowns, almost no solos, unfunny songtitles ('Mothertrucker', 'Faces Of Meth', 'Schmand An der Hand'), undecipherable vocals, a plethora of riffs that go nowhere and annoying samples that everybody was tired of in 1996. It's clear that Stillbirth has its heart in the right place, and that they don't take themselves too seriously – but it is time to decide whether they want to be a genuine genre act, or just a bunch of guys goofing off. "Global Error" makes the critical error of wanting it both ways, and never committing to any particular direction. The jury's not out on whether Stillbirth just made a string of horrible creative decisions, or if they genuine don't know what to do with this genre. At least they are persistent, and "Global Error" has pretty funny artwork and an absolutely killer bass guitar tone to boot.

Co za debiut! Jestem absolutnie zauroczony tym co zaserwowała ta norweska ekipa i absolutnie nie dziwię się, że Dark Descent nie zwlekała z kontraktem. Dotychczasowe doświadczenie muzyków Sover...
...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
