Ojciec Dyktator- 666cm CD review by Alex Layzell/ Grind to Death! Polands Ojciec Dyktator, translated as father dictator - mayhaps a mocking reference to one of Polands most controversially powerful men Ojciec Tadeusz Rydzyk , have about as much grace as one would expect of Godzilla attempting to do the nutcracker, helplessly wreaking havoc and fear with each and every step, but who the bloody hell needs grace when you exude an insidious blend of vulgarity and humours both sonic and lyrical by the metric tonne? Ojciec Dyktator posses a ravishing blast beat gusto and a particularly beastly heft in sound that when plucked agitates like a territorial Rhino pent up on testosterone, and whilst they arent the fastest animal in the grindcore kingdom although still pretty damn nimble, the sheer weight behind those clashes substitutes just as nicely as breaching the sound barrier. It is however as one would expect of bulkier beasts that the more natural and dignified moments come in those condensing mid paced moments that growl and grumble in more comfortable environs where there is no need for distress and primal displays of might and power for here the beast is King and need only act like one rather than fight to be one. Whilst opening track and album title track 666cm play out like Nasum taking a lesson in harmonics from Corrupted things get fervently more tense pretty quick therein-after and Ojciec Dyktator begin to take their own stylistic reins bringing down a strong derivative variant of Assuckian death grind less heavy on the blast beat patterning, but with more thrust and uniformity in the overall rhythmic momentum. The infrequent use of pig squeals is a fundamental annoyance to the release, but other than that the music is pretty solid, what particularly nabbed my attention was the creative and satirical song titles, from Black Metal slander (Gaygoroth) to anti-religious sentiment combined with drug references (St Francis of Hashishi) and not forgetting the bands stamped declaration of anti-politics and anti-religion located on the rear of the CD artwork, Ojciec Dyktator seem like a band that bring the right amount of fun without being goofy and the right amount of brutality and seriousness without being lifeless and with 666cm that synergy really shows. grindtodeath/zine/review-ojciec-dyktator-666cm-2013
