Press Reviews Pull The Chain - Newsletter #18, Autumn 1999Review by: Georges LaforetCLAYMORDS is a Norwegian (self labelled) Metal act come to life in 1994.Almost four years later, the band released its debut mini-cd.It includes four tracks and shows the band evolving in quite a varied array of genres and influences.You can hate it or like it, for sure, but this piece of music features amongst the most original and even innovative releases I heard for ages.The band alternates ultra violent passages (coupled with guttural vocal work) and more gothic metal influences (with clear voices).It's almost impossible to like this "…more sombre than life" in its entirety, there are so many differences between songs.I really like the most brutal tracks as "Beyond Redemption" or "Random Sincerity" as I'm not too much into their more experimental en soft ones "Enslaved by her".This is a more than recommended purchase, especially if you get the feeling that most of nowadays releases lack of originality.
