Machetazo & Cianide - Machetazo / Cianide [Split] 7''EP (2005)

Cianide are US death metal band was formed in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois, by Mike Perun (bass/vocals) and Scott Carroll (guitar). Like so many others from their genre, Cianide made their initial impression with two demos, ''Funeral'' and ''Second Life''. The addition of drummer Jeff Kabella helped bring their crushing musicianship and steadfast exhortations on the nature of decomposition to a wider audience, and the trio went overground in 1992 with ''The Dying Truth''. Building on their influences (Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Venom, Death), ''A Descent Into Hell'' (1994) delivered a further caustic epistle, including a cover version of Canadian death metal crew Slaughter’s ‘'Death Dealer'’. Kabella was replaced by Andy Kuizin on 1996’s ''Rage War 1996'' demo (later re-released by Cyronics Records), while the following year’s ''Death, Doom And Destruction'' found the band increased to a quartet with the addition of second guitarist Jim Bresnahan. Their first album of the new millennium, ''Divide And Conquer'' (2000), was released by Merciless Records. Reduced to a trio with Bresnahan’s departure. The distribution was good, and the band's following grew rapidly. Soon the band started writing and rehearsing new material for a next full length.
Songs were completed and the new album, 'Hell's rebirth', got recorded, with advance copies to shop around to labels worldwide. From Beyond Productions heard the advance, recognized the sheer intensity of the material, and a deal was closed soon thereafter. The album will be presented as CD and limited LP. With 'Hell's rebirth', Cianide again stays true to their initial intentions to create pure and heavy doom death for those who can appreciated things the old school way.
