I still cannot believe a guitar pro file lying around on my computer actually became a properly recorded song. Mad props to Taureg Tariq and Mutee-ur-Rehman.

This is pretty cool. Taureg Tariq’s latest project, and acts as sort of a sister band to Cauldron Born. What type of music do they play? Well, if Cauldron Born was death/thrash with more of an emphasis on refining the death metal aspect of the sound, this is just straight up balls-to-the-motherfucking wall thrash metal with a shade of death metal. Sounds similar to the 80′s wave of death/thrash bands, like Numskull, Incubus (NOT the shitty pop band, the FIRST, REAL, Incubus), Slaughter, Sacrifice waghairah.
In this limited time-frame, this is all I could come up with. Cauldron Born is analogous to the missing-link, which to an evolutionist would be as important as Cauldron Born is to the Metal Scene of Pakistan. Let’s cut the crap and get right down to business. They have recently put up a new song called Blood Crusade which was posted on the Markhor two days ago and I must compliment them on the effort they put into it that is evident.
The song starts at an ominous pitch – you know that you have heard a similar intro before and you can tell from your experience that what follows may dissapoint you but you are left dumbfounded. You can easily infer that the band has shifted toward a more brutal-death typal sound with Blood Crusade. It deeply grieves and abysmally saddens me that I lack the words required and I feel incapacitated; I don’t have anything else to add. Boing!
The guitarwork is naturally phenomenal because of the Taureg Tariq element however, this time around, the bass manages to stand out which is a rarity in Cauldron Born. The Bass Shred somewhere in the middle of the song will endear many a tight-ass metal fans. And this time around, Hassan Ghori is not at the background but alongside Taureg at the forefront. There are some places, though, that the guitarwork sounds a little predictable but it is in no way repetitious as was the case in the previous Cauldron Born song, Exit Wounds. The guitar tone, I must exclaim, is perfect for the heavier variety of Metal that Cauldron Born plays.
The drums are, well, programmed and even though, not the most exciting subject to write upon, are pretty decent and sound very close to the real thing. I am guessing EZ Drummer was used. I was a fan of EZ Drummer but I have only recently realised that EZ Drummer may not be the best option.
The vocals sound awesome but are not normally that potent and the mic may be held responsible for that. The vocals are also overshadowed by the guitar and the drums drown out the sound of the guitar quite a lot.
I personally think this song was a treat and I expect nothing short of unadulterated brutality from Cauldron Born now that they have raised the bar for Pakistani Deathsters, whateverthefucksters. I do hope that they come up with a full-length album
the next time instead of just singles because this is what the Pakistani metal scene is badly in need of.
Man, these guys never fail to deliver. I can’t post a review right away because of studies but this shit is pretty intense. I’d really like these guys to release an album instead of just singles. See for yourselves!
