INFINITE DEFILEMENT/ PERVERTED DEXTERITY: INFINITE DEXTERITY SPLIT

INFINITE DEFILEMENT/ PERVERTED DEXTERITY: INFINITE DEXTERITY

   Infinite Dexterity is a superb split album consisting of 4 tracks contributed by 2 very different yet equally talented one-man bands, Infinite Defilement from Australia and Indonesia's Perverted Dexterity. Both halves of this split album are brilliant in their own right and compliment each other perfectly, resulting in 27 minutes of diverse and highly entertaining Brutal Death-Metal.

   Infinite Defilement take the spotlight first, unleashing 4 tracks of gritty, crunchy savagery. "Enslave The Earth" announces the arrival, as the menacingly intense riffs emerge through the Gregorian chant intro, with a distinct old-school Death-Metal edge to their sound, which works well with the traditional style of death-growls which feature heavily throughout the track. The riffs present here are laden heavily with groove and a welcome technical edge, boosted by deep low end bass work. 

   Of course, blastbeats and hammering drums drive the music onward, especially through the following track "Misanthropy". The second track is a mixture of old-school savagery, crunching riffs and forays into explosive Slams and bass drop thunder, not to mention formidable vocal displays. "Failed Creation" appears far more modern in comparison to the previous tracks, emanating from the dominance of slow scratching slide riffs, ultra guttural vocals and mechanical drums. "Born Into Shame" has a definite old-school, Six Feet Under-esque aura and contains some of the most notable guitar work of the whole album. Infinite Defilement's last track is obviously a Brutal Death-Metal punch in the face, but it is also one of the most diverse and most memorable moments of the entire split. 
    Perverted Dexterity deliver the second blow, in a far more technical and comparatively Brutal fashion than the first half. The second half of the album is noticeably shorter, with only 3 tracks of Perverted Dexterity's own original material, before closing the album with a cover version of the disgustingly titled Last Days Of Humanity track, "Raped In The Back Of A Van". 

   With the kind of barbarous musical warfare that defines acts such as Deeds Of Flesh and Unfathomable Ruination, "Relentless Excruciation" is a sustained surge of blastbeats, throat annihilating guttural vocals and deep screeching riffs. "Reviving Dry Bones" continues the attack with unbelievable speed, trance inducing Slamming slide riffs and mind imploding technicality. 

   For their last track of original material, "Prognostic Enmity", Perverted Dexterity do not slow down or ease off at all, instead they adopt a Dying Fetus-esque groove into their sound to help round off their onslaught of brutality, as the blastbeats continue to rain down and the riffs chug across the horizon to the very end. 

   Overall, Infinite Dexterity is one of the strongest and most enjoyable split albums around. In comparison to other split albums, Infinite Dexterity is far simpler, streamlined and undeniably consistent. The different sounds and styles of the two contributors is refreshing and rejuvenating, and definitely has the desired effect.
