FOMENTO - "Either Caesar Or Nothing" - 2009 - CORONER RECORDS


Glancing at the album cover gives off the impression that the lyrics and music were going to be influenced by roman history or Egyptian history. The first thing that came to my mind was a thrash metal version of Kataklysm. Don’t judge an album by its cover though. This is a far cry from a thrashy version of Kataklysm.

The music isn’t anything new or amazing. The guitars are doing nothing special for the album except background noise. The drumming really doesn’t help for the matter either. Where’s that damn bass? Not to be heard on this album either. The vocals are a mixture of death and hardcore. Shouting and growling through out the entire album. There is no real change in vocal styling at all except when the entire band starts shouting. If the band were to find a different singer and made more interesting music they would probably find themselves somewhere successful. I really wish I could’ve enjoyed this album but it’s just not enjoyable.
