CHEMICAL BREATH (Bel) – ‘Values’ CD

CHEMICAL BREATH was one of the first extreme metal bands from Belgium.

Chemical Breath’s second album from 1994.Technical Death/Thrash Metal from Belgium. More progressive then their pure death metal album Fatal Exposure from 1992. “Values” contains no pure death metal. It is more tech-thrash. There are aspects of the earlier American technical thrash bands here (Watchtower, Forbidden, etc), and some influences from Chuck Schuldiner as Death was one of their main and early influences. The band’s progress from death/thrash to technical thrash bears comparison with Sindrome, but in their own style / direction.
Bonus to the album is the 1997 demo when guitar player Rene reformed the band for a brief time. ‘Values’ will be re-issued on CD and LP on vicrecords early 2024
