SENKI
"Szilánkok" (Wormholedeath; 2026)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
I'm not sure what to make of Senki and their EP, "Szilánkok." Much of that, of course, is that the vocals of the four tracks hereon are in Hungarian, I believe and my mastery of that language is ... well ... goose egg. The other thing is that this band recently signed to Wormholedeath, a label that I usually attribute to the most extreme types of metal music. Senki isn't very extreme. They remind me a bit of Rammstein, although not nearly as industrial.
Still, there's a lot of interesting music in the four tracks here. The EP starts off with "Dilemmáim," with its nearly spoken-word vocals, haunting atmosphere and infective chorus. Next up is "Hegyeken túl," a metal march which showcases vocalist Ákos Rikter's talent, while delivering a wall of sound behind him. Track 3 is "Mint égen a csillag," which begins with a mysterious crescendo and then boils over into a tune that sounds angry and full of rage—but, remember, I don't know Hungarian; this track might be about the unconditional love of angels). Closing out is the title track, the most straight-forward rocker on the EP, which drives forward and takes you out on the perfect note.
Bottom line is that, if you're looking for something that's a little twisted but still accessible and entertaining, "Szilánkok" is definitely worth a listen.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
