PANCRECTOMY: INSULIN INDUCED COMA

PANCRECTOMY: INSULIN INDUCED COMA

   Death-Metal comes in many shapes and sizes, and some shapes are less serious than others. Raising awareness about the disease and inducing spontaneous hammer-dancing in the process, Pancrectomy is an diabetes themed Brutal Slamming Death Metal project, with a comical edge. Created by the one man brutal mastermind, Calum Forrest (Shattered Horizons, Engorging The Autopsy), Pancrectomy's debut release, Insulin Induced Coma, is an 8 minute barrage of brilliant brutality. 
   Filled with a range of amusing samples relating to diabetes, this EP almost makes you feel bad for breaking out into the odd smirk here and there. The music itself however, is far more serious, delivering superb waves of Slam, Brutal Death-Metal and even Deathcore.
   "Unit 34", introduces the EP in slamming style which greatly resembles his other bands, before "I Forgot To Take My Insulin (And Now I've Got High Blood Sugar)", brings the groove, squeals and gutturals. "Hba1COK", is an upbeat number, with a strangely punky vibe to it. Things take a turn for the heavy on, "Pick Up My Prescription", as the blastbeats come out in force, and the sinister stomping slide riffs take the spotlight. The longest, and by far the best track of the EP, "Keytone Acidosis", is a merciless, pounding slab of Brutal Death-Metal, showing off Calum's bestial vocal capabilities, amidst crushing breakdown riffing, which continues through into closing track, "Emergency Room". 
   Overall, Insulin Induced Coma is an extreme, Slamming EP, designed to entertain and educate at the same time, both of which are easily achieved here. Whether or not Calum decides to follow up Pancrectomy's debut release, Insulin Induced Coma, remains to be seen, but on it's own merit, this debut release is heavy and hilarious enough to justify listening to.

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...
