Asphyx are true death metal legends from the abyss of The Netherlands. Their slithering, doomy aural hell had pleased the most lunatic brains among metal music freaks since 1987. The band broke up in 1995, but re-emerged next year with a new line-up featuring ex-vocalist Theo Loomans (played also all bass and guitars on this one) and forming member, drummer Bob Bagchus. For those who knew the band already, with 'God Cries', something a bit different was presented, due to the changes in the line-up. The band were faster, thanks to the thrash metal facet they had found during the break. Still today, this album is an individual take of thrash-mixed-up-death metal with some HC/rock attitude (dissonant and open-string guitar playing). If you want to try some rabid death/thrash metal, you could absolutely headbang yourself insane to 'God Cries'. This isn't a typical Asphyx album but it surely deserves to be heard!
