:19cb9m8x said:Asphyxiate was founded in 2006 by Jarno Verhels
(Vocals, Lyrics) and Wim Oers (Music, Guitar) after the
demise of the Death/Thrash Metal Band Butcher they
started in 2005 with former guitarist and comrade Yannick
Wilryckx. After usual line-up changes and internal struggles
Wim started to find and expand his musical identity,
heavily influenced by other genres such
as Classical Music and Jazz.

By late 2008, they finally managed to get a stable and
like-minded line-up with Jens Cautereels (Bass, Lyrics),
S‚bastien Thienpont (Drums) and Stijn van Bever (Guitar).
The hard work paid off resulting in the Demo
^Ominous Depth^, which will be released in 2009.

On this demo you can enjoy the quality
of Death Metal, merged with Fusion influenced
drum patterns and slight musical references to
Jazz/Fusion and Classical Music. Paying attention to beautiful
harmonies, complex rhythms and a lot of variety,
Asphyxiate's music can be described as easy-listening,
adventurous and of course not for the weak-hearted.
Asphyxiate's strength can't be found in extremes,
he main ambition is to bring the best of differen
worlds together.

They're quite alright I must say, musicly they're quite inovative but vocals sound quite forced and amatuerish. The singer should take some lessons or practice more or something I dunno.

Yeah I know, but I have too say its mostly the production. Jarno sounds much better live !

Yeah I bet he does sound better live but I still think he should experiment with his voice some more, maybe incorporate some clean singing or different style of growling/screaming more suitable to him. Either way experimentation is the key, after all it seems that is what this band is about.
