Sinsaenum: Repulsion For Humanity

SINSAENUM: REPULSION FOR HUMANITY

   There is an irresistible appeal to Sinsaenum's second full-length outing. The all-star Death-Metal collective have undergone a few obvious changes since their initial assault, the omission of co-vocalist Attila Csihar for example, but whatever decisions that were made and discussions that were had or ideas that were shared, has resulted in a very mature, humble yet impactful second album. 
   Sinsaenum play Death-Metal plain and simple and they do it very well, but Repulsion For Humanity does not lack diversity, infact the album is an impressive and encapsulating tour of the extreme end of musical spectrum. 
   "Repulsion For Humanity" erupts explosively, sounding the commencement of the assault in a way that is almost reminiscent of Slipknot's "People=Shit", before unloading a battery of monstrous Morbid Angel inspired rhythms. "Final Resolve" reeks of Obituary with it's thick, intoxicating grooves and daringly changeable paces. "Sworn To Hell" is a thrashing bruiser with an air of Destruction to it's sound, while "Rise Of The Light Bearer" takes proceedings to another level, landing somewhere between Death and Unleashed stylistically speaking, offering blistering speed, magnificent musicianship and pure old-school Death-Metal fury. Breaking pace considerably, "Manifestation Of Ignorance" is a curveball of dismal Death-Doom darkness, dripping with Monotheist-era Celtic Frost sludgy tones, only to revive itself with a mid-section interlude of shredding solos and surprise blastbeats. 
   The inclusion of 2, over 8 minute long tracks is a somewhat odd choice, however both "My Swan Song" and "Forsaken" are worthy of high praise, but it is the far more generic Death-Metal offering of "Sacred Martyr" that steals the show on the album's second half. Crammed with yet more Morbid Angel-esque thick grooves, eye-watering solos, blastbeats, masterful drum leads and formidably dominating vocals, "Sacred Martyr" has all it needs to appease any faithful Death-Metal fan and so much more.
   Weighing in at over 1 hour running time, Repulsion For Humanity can be a little challenging and monotonous in parts, but these parts are very few and far between. Whether it is the crushing barbarity of "Repulsion For Humanity"'s introduction or the Blackened-Death-Metal trance inducing soundscape on "My Swan Song", Repulsion For Humanity is groaning with little surprises, there is enough here to keep the ears and attention of any listener worth their salt well and truly hooked.

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...
