One of the most horrible intro ideas that I have ever heard, “the silence has been broken” that’s what Stillborn went for as their intro vocals, and the problem is not what that tiny phrase means is the voice that says it, I mean this is suppose to be death/black metal, and yet they put this boring not scary or even mysterious at all voice…. Oh well I guess I have to get over it and talk about what’s important here, the music.

I guess that previously introduced label works fine as to give you an idea of the kind of metal this Polish band displays in “Manifiesto de Blasfemia” for some reason both their full lengths have Spanish based titles, I think is cool that Spanish is becoming some how a “cool” way to name your albums (Just read Gorefest latest album title…La Muerte); anyway, lets get into the record; there is no surprises, no welcome rediscoveries of a now very popular blend in the underground, just death metal with satanic lyrics, black metal imagery and a couple of black oriented blastbeats.

“Manifiesto de Blasfemia” is brutal and fast, not as fast as lets say Azarath, but they do their best in the speed department; besides is not like speed is going to save you the embarrassment when you don’t write anything close to a memorable riff, and that’s why I just couldn’t make myself like this album, even after many spins (I swear I did!), the reason is the lack of songs based on a catchy, killer, groovy, brutal, how ever you want to call it, riff, this is just the same formula and a continuous recycling of simple and plain boring riffs over and over and over and over and over again.

Well into some highlights… Natural Born Destroyers sounds like a track written by Behemoth and that’s good right? Well maybe if you consider their best track on the record as sounding very similar to perhaps the most famous Poland extreme metal act these days.

If you listen to just one song from Stillborn you are going to be intrigued and attracted to buy the album, because of their brutality, but be careful, because if you have listen to one song, you have listen to the entire production.
