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.

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...
