Philosopher

A few voices from the international underground press concerning PHILOSOPHER,
their demo “What dwells beyond” and their debut-Album “Thoughts” :

“…Impressive! ….”

“…Just mark the name of PHILOSOPHER in your memory, dear folks, if you are still
hungry for more old-school Death Metal sounds and have any kind of understanding
for the word "quality". GREAT fuckin´ shit here!!…”

“…As for Philosopher music-wise, well,... what can I say, but... wow!!…”

“…Unlike many Death Metal bands these days, PHILOSOPHER don´t try to be the most
brutal and barbaric sounding Death Metal band on earth, but count more on making
their songs stand out right from the very moments when their songs start capturing…”

“…Very good chaotic death metal coupled with excellent vocal work…”

“…A stimulating tension melds from this album churning morbid rythm and riffing...”

“…Murky, eerie, melodic, thought-out and timeless... five quality keywords that
I´d like to use to describe PHILOSOPHER´s songs on this mercilessly catchy and
excellent 4-song demo. It´s easy to welcome PHILOSOPHER´s well-moving and brilliantly
churned out Death Metal in and ask it to stay with you a bit longer if bands like Death,
Morgoth, Apshyx and the likes have ever managed to reach your admiration and respect
due to a different bunch of some particular musical values…”

“…new German Death Metal messiahs…”

“…It is exactly the way death metal should sound!…”

“…PHILOSOPHER show a high level of originality and creativities…”

“…It’s pretty hard to believe these Germans founded their band only in 2002 – first
of all because of the quality of their music and, secondly, because their style sounds
more like early or rather mid 90s incantations à la DEATH or MORBID ANGEL. Maybe they’re
a little more melodic (no Gothenburg-influences on here, though). Less complex, yet
technical in a way. But as a listener, not as a musician: who needs awfully complex songs
anyway as long as they rock?…”

“...Promising band!...“
