Ingested: The Architect Of Extinction

INGESTEDThe Architect Of Extinction
  
    Brutality is clearly an attribute that gets better with age. With their third full-length release, "The Architect Of Extinction", Ingested showcase their most barbaric capabilities. Death-Metal, Deathcore and Death-Slam, are just a few of the terms used to describe Ingested's sound, but whatever you decide to call it, the title should always be proceded by an adjective such as, "brilliant" or "mercilessly perfect". 
   Stylistically following on from 2013 EP, "Revered By No One, Feared By All", it becomes clear within the first growls of opening cut, "The Divine Right Of Kings", that Ingested have finally found their sound. "The Architect Of Extinction" is surprisingly mature in sound and delivery, demonstrated clearly by instrumental piece, "Penance", which gives you a chance to catch your breath and elitists time to rearrange their raised eyebrows. If truly calming metallic melody with excellent execution isn't your thing, then have no fear, there are still nine tracks of solid, neck-shattering Slam to appease the masses. Tracks like "Endless Despondency" and "Extinction Event" are savagely satisfying, while the epic Slam showdown of "The Heir's To Mankind's Atrocities", featuring vocal contributions from; Julian Kersey (Aegaeon), Taylor Wientjes (The Kennedy Veil), James Schuster (Eighty Thousand Dead/Delusional Parasitosis) and Alex Terrible (Slaughter To Prevail), is a perfect balance of awe-inspiring and terrifying. 
   From start to finish, "The Architect Of Extinction" is utterly phenomenal. The musicianship and vocal performances by Manchester's finest is nothing short of flawless. A huge leap forward from previous full-length, "The Surreption", Ingested's more mature and refined strain of audio weaponry is sure to see them brought to the front-lines of the extreme music world.

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...
