Artist: REBORN Z
Album: Broken Glass
Year: 2001

Reborn Z from Germany is a band I got to know a little time ago, because of Reza from Golem 101. Their whole Broken Glass demo is downloadable from their site. They make some kind of industrial death metal, with lots of symphonic influences.

The first song is called "Your Eyes". Long intro, followed by some great symphonic choruses and couplets of pure industrial death metal, which remind me to Malmonde in a way. There is a lot of sorrow hidden in this song, and the quality of the sound surprised me in a positive way (it doesnt sound like a demo if you know what I mean). After "Your Eyes", it is time for the title song called "Broken Glass". Same concept with the couplets, but the chorus is pretty weak if you ask me. The music is good, but the "Walking... walking... walking... walking on the broken glass" gets really boring. Also in this song: great atmosphere. "Dive" is the third song of this demo. The intro is really industrialized, and the vocals on this track are way different than on the other songs. This song reminds me in a far way of Tiamat, but it is a little more industrialized. Best song of the demo if you ask me! "10 minutes" aint 10 minutes long, but it is the last song of this interesting demo. Pretty strange couplets if you ask me, I dont know how to explain it, but it just sounds kinda weird when you compare it with the rest of the demo. Sounds more like a Svenia song, but a little more industrialized. Well, some final words: this band really is talented, and got a good chance to become big when they develope a little more.

Vote: 74 / 100
