Germ Bomb – Under a Fading Sun

May 20, 2015 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

This spring swedish crossover thrashers Germ Bomb releases their 3rd full length ‘Under a Fading Sun’. My first encounter with them was with their debut album back in 2010, when they made me sing ‘Infected! Infected!’ all summer.

Allthough I know the band is not found of being categorized, they still play powerful crossover thrash with hints of both heavy metal, black’n’roll and doom. To me, ‘Under a Fading Sun’ feels alot darker and dirtier than their previous material. In ‘Funeral Blues’ for instance, the riffs are slower and doomier, matching it’s title perfectly. ‘Endless Thirst’ has more melodic vocals, sending me to heavy metal land. Last track on the album, called ‘Religious Vomit’ has a perfect groovy black’n’roll riff in the middle, making my nose wrinkle (in that good metal way).

Germ Bomb – Under a Fading Sun

So, to sum it up, I think ‘Under a Fading Sun’ is both darker and more diverse than Germ Bombs previous releases. It’s reflected on the album cover which is inspired by polish surrealist Zdzisław Beksiński (who by the way is one of my favourite artists – you should google him!).

‘Under a Fading Sun’ will be released later this spring, in CD, vinyl and tape edition.
The album was recorded in Welfare Sounds Studio in Gothenburg (Bombus, Bombs of Hades) in october 2014 with Per Stålberg and Olle Björk behind the knobs and as producers, mastered by Daniel Johansson and artwork created by Lenore Ani.
‘Under A Fading Sun’ tracklisting:
 
1. Abomination
2. Black Mass
3. Funeral Blues
4. Stench
5. Endless Thirst
6. Under A Fading Sun
7. 1000 Suns
8. Religious Vomit

VIDEO PREMIERE: Germ Bomb – 1000 Suns!

May 20, 2015 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

Black Forest Magazine are proud to present the world premiere of Germ Bombs brand new video ‘1000 Suns’!

Vocalist and guitarist Hampus tells us that the video ‘1000 Suns’ was shot in Gothenburg Sweden in march/april this year and are produced by Die on the Kitchen Floor Productions.
– The lyrics in the song which reflects the video are issues about how we treat this planet and how we more or less will destroy ourselves with greed. We wanted to do something different and not just capture a band playing a song straight up and down because its boring and done a million times before!

Enjoy Germ Bombs brand new music video below:

Don’t forget to read our review of their upcoming album ‘Under a Fading Sun’, and our interview with bandmember Hampus.
