Note: Band request
First of all, I'm not quite sure what Greezminh means (if it actually means anything), but I feel a little repulsed by the name. It doesn't appeal me in any way or form, and if I was only to use the name as a base, I wouldn't give it a try.
Having a total of 5 self-released albums, I'd say Greezminh has it's stack of fans (not only judging by the half naked girls posing with various bodyparts signed GREEZMINH on his myspace page).
As me and my friend are planning on starting our own cybergrind band, I have some hopes that maybe Greezminh will give us some inspiration, and perhaps a good listen. Musically, it's pretty calm and synthish, which is both a plus and a minus. Not a big fan of synth in it's purest form, but some calm cybergrind isn't what you come across very often. Although a very thin line to cross into Cybergrind, there are some elements, like blastbeats and double bass pedals.
What this one-man band is missing is some vocals. Not sure if Lowi is capable doing them himself, but I think it'd be a good addition. However, some instrumental bands are better off without vocals. But maybe he should venture a try.
On a side note, I have to say that almost all songs sound pretty much the same. Pretty monotone, nothing that stands out, it's just the same noises over and over again, which gets pretty boring after a while.
What to think about: Maybe add some vocals, atleast on one song to see how it works. Second, create something that stands out in the songs. Don't make it sound like one neverending song. And maybe decide on a specific genre to lean more to. If you want to be a Cybergrind band, then add guitars and more drums a la wecamewithbrokenteeth. If you want to be a synth band, then... do that. It's a pretty weird combination right now that doesn't quite add up.
Best track: Ex Nihilis
Score: 4/10
