MP3 REVIEW: Defago “Roots of Evil” (Graveyard Calling Horror Records)



            There are a few ways to describe Defago, but being they are on a record label with the word “horror” in the title of it seems pretty fitting.   Through moments of dark synth, “Paint it Black” hints and of course some video game bits, Defago manages to pull off something that isn’t too far from what you’re used to hearing in this overall genre, yet can be rather… disturbing.

            Some Knight Rider sounds come out, but that doesn’t make this any less terrifying.  Who thought it was a good idea to put that crying on the sixth song?   If you told me this was to be played inside a haunted house, then I’d be likely to make a whole lot more sense out of it.

            Granted, as we get toward the last few songs it sort of tames down and that’s okay.  Overall, it has some moments that certain people just shouldn’t listen to (the really young or really old, the faint of heart, etc.) but in terms of instrumental video game type doom, Defago could easily be the Misfits of it.
