ROCKET REVIEW: SARGON – “In Contempt” (CD)

Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metal act SARGON has unleashed their incendiary debut entitled In Contempt. It was recorded and mixed by Ignacio Molino at PTY Studios and mastered by Eric Koondel at The Audio Refinery in Florida. The eight perfectly-produced tracks mix death metal and thrash elements at a breakneck speed that reminds this reviewer of early SLAYER meets DEATH with a nice hint of MEGADETH. I was blown away at how well Sargon is able to pay homage to these great names yet still carve out their own identity of pure musical mayhem. The lead vocals and guitar chores are both handled with excellence by Frank Van Kwartel, while former MALEVOLENT CREATION drummer Alex Marquez performs like an absolute ‘blast beat-loving’ beast, showing us why he is one of the best going today. Edgar Candandedo holds down the low end with his bass guitar like his life depends on it. My favorites are the non-stop, full on pummeling assault delivered on gems like “In Contempt”, “Attack” and the positively brutal “Restless”. All I am going to say is that if you call yourself a true lover of metal music, Sargon’s In Contempt will soon belong in your collection. This trio is definitely one of my favorite new acts to come out of the underground scene in a very long time and clearly these dudes are a force to be reckoned with.
