ATAKHAMA picture
Atakhama is a five-piece extreme metal band hailing from Finland. The band came to existence in April 2004 as a collective decision of Rahikainen, Honkonen, Häkkinen and J-V Hintikka, when they decided to lay their previous band, Funeris Nocturnum to rest. It was time to take a fresh new start, as they felt that with the old band they could no longer achieve what they were after.

During the spring, summer and autumn the band worked hard on new material and gave finishing touches to late Funeris Nocturnum songs they had composed before the decision to break up the band had been made. Studio time had already been scheduled for the fourth Funeris Nocturnum album and cancelling this booking never crossed their minds. The line-up was completed in August with the addition of Salmi on vocals. Before entering the studio the band signed a deal with Finnish Woodcut Records.

"Existence Indifferent" is the debut full-length studio album by Finnish death metal act Atakhama. The album was released through Woodcut Records in April 2005. Atakhama formed in 2004 after the demise of some of the member´s previous band melodic black metal act Funeris Nocturnum. Four out of the five members of the lineup actually came from Funeris Nocturnum and only lead vocalist Jimmy Salmi is completely new to the party (although he had experience from other acts previous to joining Atakhama).

Stylistically it´s like listening to a less intense Deicide meeting the more brutal grooves of Dyscarnate. Although Atakhama are a well playing unit and vocalist Salmi deliver both grutal growling and higher pitched aggressive screaming vocals with passion and conviction, they don´t quite reach the two mentioned influences in terms of quality of material. "Existence Indifferent" is still a good quality death metal release with good rhythmic variation, just a slight bit of melody when that is needed, and death metal- and thrash metal oriented riffs, and the occassional heavy grooves. The sound production is decent, but the drums do have an annoying clicky sound, and especially the bass drums sound a little wrong.

So upon conclusion "Existence Indifferent" is a decent first release from Atakhama (it would be their sole release as they disbanded soon after), but it´s nothing out of the ordinay for the genre. Well composed, well performed, and relatively well produced. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
