Mumakil: Flies Will Starve

MUMAKIL: FLIES WILL STARVE
   Think Grind-Core is dead? Well clearly you haven't heard Flies Will Starve yet. This slab of Death infused Grind perfectly demonstrates just how alive this style of music really is. As with any modern Grind-Core or Death-Grind bands, you can easily detect the musical influences. In other words, this album will satisfy fans of Napalm Death, Nasum, Carcass and Bolt Thrower, but even fans of more straight forward Death-Metal should feel right at home here. As long as you love your music loaded with brain battering brutality, then Mumakil really have got something for everyone.
   The 24 tracks stuffed into this album may last just over 30 minuets, but its 30 minuets of pure mountain crushing riffs, over-driven bass, Satan scaring screams and light speed drumming. Tracks like, "War Therapist", and "Unfair For Whom?", carry that genre defining riff, only describable as being dirty, crushing and mosh inducing. "Get Exorcised" and "Blind Disciples", will prove to be the essential staples for all Grind fans. 
   Overall, this is a brilliantly crafted vessel of heaviness. Full of incredible songs, striking you blow after blow with waves of horrific mastery. There is no doubt, that both Mumakil and Flies Will Starve, really will prove to be, "Fresh Meat For The Grinder".


TRACKS YOU NEED TO HEAR:
  • "War Therapist"
  • "Army Of Freaks"
  • "Behind The Mask"
FOR FANS OF:
  • Nasum
  • Napalm Death
  • Pig Destroyer
  • Brutal Truth

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
