MASTECTOMY: HELL ON EARTH

MASTECTOMY: HELL ON EARTH

  With more samples than a phlebotomist's laboratory and all the metallic brutality of diving head first into a pit of barbed wire, Hell On Earth is a prolonged onslaught of modern extreme Metal mastery. Although it may appear on the surface as just another one of the thousands of Brutal Death-Metal albums churned out every year, Mastectomy's debut full-length album, Hell On Earth, is a brilliantly produced and orchestrated album from start to finish. Stretching across 14, merciless tracks, totaling over 50 minutes playing time, the one man Polish Death-Metal unit has pulled out all the stops, and clearly given their all for the first full-length release. Despite the impressive and unconventional quantity of material offered on the album, Hell On Earth flows beautifully, and has enough high quality musical extremity to keep your ears hooked and bleeding profusely.
   Mastectomy's musicianship cannot be faulted here, delivering track after track, executed with expert precision. The music itself is as skillful as it is diverse, with elements ranging from strikes of barbaric Brutal Death-Metal, to technical Death-Metal, Slam and even Grindcore. Tracks such as; "Repulsive Inhuman bestiality" and "Deadly Chain Of Events", for example, are rolling riff machines, driven by mechanical drumming, rumbling bass and intense rhythms. Bursting forth with Grinding fury at a furious speed, "Global Cesspool", shows Mastectomy channeling their own inner, Brutal Truth. Armed to the teeth with blastbeats and hammering Slams, "Suffocated By Barbed Wire", is a savage as the name suggests, displaying intoxicating, Katalepsy and Kraanium-esque traditional Slamming grooves. 
  "Krew Za Krew (Blood For Blood)", "Domain Of A Dreadful Reprisal" and "Pornopaedophilic Infestation", lean heavily towards the older ways, to a more traditional style of savagery, with a refreshing injection of old-school Death Metal feeling, sounding like a genius mixture of, Six Feet Under, Hypocrisy and Devourment. Even the Slam staples, such as; "Multiple Pavulon Injections", "Family Execution" and "Squeezing The Trigger", are performed with above average brilliance, with enough groove, slide-riffing and pummeling intensity to sound like a fresh, exciting and unexplored musical territory. The delightfully titled, "Beat Down That F#cking Bitch", adds a technical flair to the Brutal Death-Metal barrage, while elsewhere, "Aborted From A God's Womb", crushes with waves of Deathcore-esque Slamming, infused with an almost Black-Metal harshness. 
   Overall, Hell On Earth is a superb effort and a unique slice of thoroughly enjoyable and extreme Brutal Death-Metal. The album certainly has an undeniable charm. Whether this attraction comes from the great songs and songwriting, or the little yet essential details, like being able to hear all the instruments clearly throughout, and the amazing vocals, it is hard to pinpoint, because it is the complete package, the album as a whole, that delivers on so many levels and ticks boxes across the board.

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
