Passion and Technics combined into Death metal you won't forget. Production is outstanding. Nothing to add, just listen.

Songs are too similar for me. Nothing stands out. Too bad 'cause the basis for good Grindcore exists.

Mostly average but also some great songs. Technically very solid. One of very few german bands which you can compare with something like Hour of Penance. Check this out - you won't regret it.

Rating: 8.5/10

There is nothing special about this release except that it reminds me extremely of Origin. So I said nothing special but when I'm thinking of Origin but not listening to it means that Henker have done an excellent job. It's not easy to get on the same level like Origin but these guys have the potential to do that and have already done a major step towards it with "Slave of My Art". A must have.

Very hard to define Zubrowska's music style. But not hard to say that it's beautiful. Yes beautiful, although it is chaotic. You don't find gems like "Family Fault" often these days so get off your average metal bitch and do yourself something good and listen to it.

Heavy slam from matty and co. Just check out the first song. There're some shappy tunes but mostly it rocks. I think they can more and hopefully do it on the next release.

From kiddy Metalcore to some mature music. Sadly there're only a few great songs. Excellent Production. Anyway give it a try.
