CHTONIAN LIFECODE
2004 Retribute Records








“Excellent!”
- John Peel, BBC Radio1

“A dissonant, aggressive frost permeates their material ... Calculated, clinical bludgeoning with riffs like slabs of icy steel...”
- (7/10) Terrorizer Magazine

“‘Chtonian Lifecode’ is an attack and with their original mixture out of old school Death like Morbid Angel and new school Death like Nile and Hate Eternal etc. Chton made an outstanding debut. You like extreme music...damn...you better check out these guys!”
- (7/7) Daredevil Magazine

“Chton deal in sinister, brutal death metal that has viciously discordant elements and twisted time signatures mixed in with its savage blast.”
- (7/10) Powerplay Magazine

“I think the arangements are the best part of the record. Every song is very well put together and always interesting. ... Personally, I think it's one of the best metal CDs I've heard this year. Definitely in my top ten. I really suggest getting this if you like extremely dark and evil metal ...”
- (9/10) Trancending the Mundane Magazine

“I have to confess that "Chtonian Lifecode" is a true devastating death metal record ... I'm really surprised by their unrelenting brutality and an extraordinary production, just think of brutal mid-tempo and fast death metal with a slightly black metal touch but through the thick production they always have a stunning sound!”
- (5,5/6) Silentstagnation Magazine

“Jesus this band is whacko, for lack of a better word. They take death metal by the balls and make it spit blood. Their precision meets their brutality head on, and they add elements that I've never heard in death metal before all mixed into a lustrous mix of insanity. ... if you enjoy death metal and wish to hear death metal that isn't run of the mill and ordinary, check this out.”
