Trauma
Comedy Is Over
Deformeathing Productions
New and first re-edition of Trauma`s debut album is an important fact. Originally released in 1996 with 8 tracks and different artwork by various labels on cassettes but on CD (released by Pagan Records in 2000) that album was a rarity for almost two decades. New press has much better artwork, especially front cover, re-mastered sound and one extra track. Finally this new edition is available on the market. Music on it was a shock treatment for death metal fans in early days and still not that much people know this one. You can fix this by purchasing the album people because in ranks this band is as important as Vader for me and for lot of maniacs out there.
Polish death metal is mostly known for brutality, lack of melodies and blast beats. Trauma was, and still is a band that has it all what most of those bands have not. Exceptional guitar harmonies, melodies which are driving power of the songs and phenomenal mind set of Mister (guitars) for writing technical but mature songs. Back in the days I used to say that he is a Polish Dave Mustaine of death metal to some degree, even if some people won`t agree with my brave opinion. One thing I know for sure, there is no other band like Trauma with such original and amazing approach to death metal.
Comedy Is Over is not necessarily fast album. Have a lot of heaviness on guitars, few necessary progressive moments but foremost great and catchy song structures with amazing solos on top. The songs have incredible synergy of melodies and quality death metal riffs. They also used some short orchestrations for better music contrasts. Some songs are long but it doesn’t matter at all. They have very nice, technical build-up of tracks that need time to grow and find its flow, to finally hit you with sophisticated music and crushing guitar rhythms. Trauma is something more than just death metal. They are too good to have just that, I mind you.
Without doubt, it`s phenomenal album with excellent tracks. With this record, they still were progressing towards their original style which mostly, you can hear on this album already. Trauma has never recorded so special, so heavy and unique debut like Comedy Is Over ever again. But they just could not stop at this! So, the good news is; it`s not their best album yet...
