For over eight years the extremists of OPTIMIST with their aggressive mixture of Death Metal, Grind and Hardcore have been working their way through the underground of the Metal, Hardcore and Grind scene.
Also in 2018 German Death Metal or Grindcore bands belong to the rarities of the extreme music circus
The OPTMIST, founded in the Ruhr area in 2010, are following a different musical path than the bands mentioned above, but after a short discovery phase they decided early on to use the German language for their lyrics.
Now the long-awaited second OPTIMIST album "Vermächtnis" is released. On this, the quintet completely merges the boundaries of its musical elements into an incomparable unity and continues what was begun on "Der Zerfall" - both lyrically and musically. On the ten new songs, OPTMIST's Death Grind Sound achieves an uncompromising brutality that is without equal. Even the inescapable lyrics always seek direct confrontation and do without any digressions. They take a clear stand without raising their index finger. They polarize and are unpleasant at the same time. But OPTIMIST always remain honest, authentic and somehow optimistic.
