Criminal

[ElPredicador]

I just went yesterday to see Criminal, a Death/Black/Doom (never got the real difference between the three.. ) band from Chile! Although they left Chile because here there isn't enough market... I heard they are doing great sales, specially in Japan. Anyway, they just plain kicked ass!! I mean, it was just great. Anyone heard of this band?

is there a link to check this band out?

Well, http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stage/7885/ is an unofficial page and has a couple of clips, and is in spanish. To get the soundfiles, go to criminal / archivos de sonido. I'll try to find another page with clips, but my internet is quite slow right now

Amazon doesn't seem to have the other albums: No gods no masters (2004), and Cancer (I don't know when this one is from)

http://www.metalblade.de/criminal.html This one seems to be the "official" page (they have no website, so I guess their label's page would be the "official") and has a couple of sounclips

Also, Anton Reissenegger (the frontman from Criminal) was the frontman from Pentagram, a band from the middle 80's, that seems to have been an influence of Arch Angel, At the Gates and other bands which I can't remember now

There's quite a few differences between death, black, and doom.

I know there are, but I always remember which is which (I know that one is more brutal, other is more slow paced, but super heavy anyways, that's as far as I get)
