If anyone enjoys sick vocals, fast and technical drumming as well as heavy guitar and bass riffs then Pyaemia is just the band for them. With a lot of groovy riffs and beats Pyaemia hold a sort of style of their own highly familiar to that of their friends Disavowed. The drumming is full of blast beats and double bass. Guitars are complicated yet very understandable, as for the vocals they are deep and gurgley whilst the scream is loud and high-pitched. [1]
Fans of blast beats, deep grunts in the vein of Frank "Grizzly Bear" Mullen, heavy guitar riffs but also the necessary variation, will certainly be satisfied with this fairly civilised and transparent sounding cd, and I'm certain we'll hear a lot more from these four guys in the future. A small point of criticism though, apparently good songs don't last long, because after a little over 29 minutes the party is over ... [2]
"We dedicate this album to the gods of deathgrind Suffocation R.I.P.", so it is written in the cd booklet of "Cerebral Cereal", the debut album of Dutch band Pyaemia. And that tells you exactly where they went shopping musically; from the opening song "Disgorging On Mucus And Bile" onward, the Rotterdam band blasts tightly and in highest gear through their fast death/grind, whereby Suffocation indeed comes to the surface from time to time, especially in the slower parts where they play with the tempi. Nothing wrong with that, because the band adequately performs its task on this debut (with a very funny title), that was recorded in the Excess Studio in Rotterdam, without making their influences too obvious. [2]
As a band they are extremely tight. Everyone is great at what he does and knows what he is doing. Innovative ideas erupt in every song pleasing the listener from track 1 all the way through track 9. If anyone gets bored listening to these guys, he deserves to be hacked up and fed to wild bores.On the whole the production is good. Sound quality is amazing, the snare is slightly lower than the rest of the instruments but other then that it’s great. One can easily notice that the songs are based on gore just by observing the front CD cover. [1]
