Dynahead-Antigen

Self-produced
2008

Hailing from Brazil Dynahead certainly attempt a diversified style of metal of their debut album. At first I thought they were going to be a straight forward semi-thrash influences outfit. A number of the songs start out with a down and dirty, heavy approach. Dynahead quickly prove that they have far more up their sleeves. They quickly begin to slip in both style and pace changes without hesitation. The sound is primarily aggressive and thick with rough vocals that accompany the above very well. The variations that they add in tend to be more melodic. That definitely adds some texture to their music. Obviously this is the band's strength and the element that helps to set them apart. I also get the impression that their is a certain honesty in their sound. That they are doing what they want because they enjoy it more than anything else. For the most part they are sharp enough to execute their style with a pleasing tightness. Although there are occasions where the changes are choppy and they interrupt the flow that could have been present. There are a few moments where they perhaps could be even better. For all that they attempt the results are certainly strong. Some more work and experience and this is a band to really watch out for in the near future.
