GOREFEST “Logo” /Patch/

Remastered re-release of the second and the third full-length albums, in one Set, by the legendary Dutch Death Metal band.
Еhe exclusive double re-release of two albums by Gorefest - "False" and "Erase"! The most interesting thing about hearing Gorefest’s second and third album back to back again is how much the general vibe between both differs. "False", from 1992, is hard-hitting, blunt and just immensely cool and brutal. "Erase", from 1994, on the other hand is actually, musically speaking, the better album. The compositions are just solid and rock from beginning to the end. The energy or feeling between the two is very different, and having them together on this beautifully laid out digi-pack, with extensive liner notes, is the only way that you’ll actually know that it’s the same band, and, more surprisingly, the same line up. In between 1992 and 1994 however, the band grew beyond the Underground Death Metal act they’d started out as, becoming a force Europe and even the rest of the world, had to reckon with.
With what Metal Mind now call "The Ultimate Collection" you get both extremes of the Gorefest spectrum, more like snap shots, and not the gradual scale on which the band changed. The journey from primitive brutality to intelligent bluntness didn’t just happen overnight, but it was still immensely fast, a fact that showed the originality and talent of this Dutch band.
Now would probably also be a good time to reissue "The Eindhoven Insanity" the band’s amazing live album from 1993, released in the interbellum of the two mastodons that are "Erase" and "False".
Get your head in the game and learn everything that there is to know about the history of European Death Metal the way it’s supposed to be played!!

The sixth full-length album by the legendary Dutch Death Metal/Death 'n' Roll band.
Gorefest's crowd-conquering reunion at the 2004 Dynamo Festival opened the doors for this comeback album, where they attempt to make up for a six-year absence by tapping into their well-regarded Grindcore and Death Metal legacy.
Heck, even "La Muerte"'s artwork recalls those classic Carcass and Napalm Death albums from the early '90s! Anyway, lucky for Gorefest that straight-up Death Metal was in such a stagnant condition in the mid-2000s that there's virtually no way "La Muerte" can fail, and its impressive opening tandem - the stately slow power chords and violent speed runs which alternate throughout "For the Masses", and the chugging, Entombed-like Rott & Roll of "When the Dead Walk the Earth" - seem to promise that an absolute tour de force is at hand. But it doesn't quite turn out that way - although, at their best, standout tracks like "You Could Make Me Kill", the joyously brutish "Malicious Intent" and the rather amusing "Exorcism" still trump most of the current competition with their mostly inspired collection of riffs and the often stark contrasts between Jan-Chris de Koeyer's crusty growling and Frank Haarthoorn and Boudewijn Bonebakker's melodic guitar leads.
Ultimately, all of the above may not be enough to announce a brave new day for either Gorefest or Death Metal in general, but it should more than justify the band's resurrection in their fans' eyes, at least!!
