about

Classic 1997 album re-issued on CD, first time on vinyl!

Said to be the best selling act on Diehard Records, Konkhra definitely had a huge potential to become the next “big thing” to come out of the death metal underground after Sepultura and Entombed.

Basically nothing short of being a supergroup, this now American-Danish quartet created quite a stir in the underground press with their previous release titled “Spit or Swallow” (to be re-issued later on as well). At that time their sound could be defined as “death’n’roll”. However, with the addition of ex-Machine Head drummer Chris Kontos and an omnipresent James Murphy, Konkhra has definitely moved in the aggro-metal direction best defined by the drummer’s ex-band’s first album. Though much heavier and without lame attempts at becoming a new big-hair metal sensation, “Weed Out The Weak” could just be the breakthrough the band deserved. James Murphy has a definite talent to liven up the music and his feeling of melody is unsurpassed, and it’s at its best on the track called “Pain and Sorrow” tacked in at the end of the album, with “Misery” should also be mentioned as one of the highlights of the album. As far as the individual songs go, there are some tracks that you get to like automatically upon the first listen. Such is “Time Will Heal” with its thrash structure and pounding rhythm or “Through My Veins” that has won the title of the catchiest song on the album. Konkhra’s frontman Anders Lundemark puts in a lot of deep emotion with vocals varied from growls to powerful spoken word that accentuates the band’s thoughtful lyrics. Chris Kontos delivers solid drumming, with a lot of energy that wasn’t that evident on any of the Machine Head recordings with him.
