DIPHENYLCHLOROARSINE: POST APOCALYPTIC HUMAN ANNIHILATION

DIPHENYLCHLOROARSINE: POST APOCALYPTIC HUMAN ANNIHILATION

   Post Apocalyptic Human Annihilation is one of the most sophisticated, articulately composed and thoroughly enjoyable Brutal Slamming Death-Metal albums ever to grace mortal ears. Putting it plainly, Diphenylchloroarsine's second offering is barbarically brilliant. Spanning a monstrous 55 minutes total running time, Post Apocalyptic Human Annihilation is a prolong torrent of filthy, sludgy Brutal Slamming savagery. 
   Diphenylchloroarsine have clearly come a long way and evolved massively since their previous release The 6 Level Purge, developing an even sludgier, almost doom infused Slam sound. The album is exceptionally well produced and constructed for a Brutal Slamming Death-Metal release, showcasing some of the most inhuman gutturals and unbelievable musical extremity around. 
   Upon listening to the album, you cannot help but be completely blown away my Slam virtuoso and all round scene legend, Mats Funderud's incredible guitar work. Although there is no small amount of repetition featured on the album, with most tracks intermingling with one another only clearly separated by sample intros and outros, every track is enjoyable in it's own rite. If you appreciate the simple and essential aspects and characteristics of Brutal Slamming Death-Metal, such as Mats' impeccable riffing or Paul and Ben Wingmark's sickeningly mind blowing vocals, then this album will not disappoint. 
   Kicking off the album with intense atmospherics and kicking the listener in the face with a huge helping of total musical mass destruction, "Scavenging The Putrid Remains" erupts with all the signature moves that Diphenylchloroarsine displayed on The 6 Level Purge, only this time heavier, harder and furiously filthier. "Survival Of The Coldest" covers either end of the brutality spectrum simultaneously, with thick crawling riffs and towering Slams stacked against completely absurd and insane mechanical blastbeats and all out machine-gun drumming. The best riff of the album award has to go to "Festering Fungus Infestation", for the sheer level of rhythm and groove offered by the crunchy, intoxicating and unconventional guitar work. 
   "Exasperations Of Monstrous Miscreations" has an interestingly old-school Death-Metal vibe emanating from it's favouring of thick, chugging riffs and comparatively minimal use of generic Slam riffs. "Ravenous Hunger" is an explosive masterpiece, loaded heavily with prolapse inducing bass eruptions, sluggish ultra-distorted Slams and the oozing low rumble of the bass guitar, which helps to add an extra layer of mucus like filth to the slower sections. 
    Weighing in at a muscular 6 minutes plus, "Eradication Of Human Pestilence" is the longest track of the album, and possibly the heaviest. Again, the old-school vibe echos out clearly here, accompanying the dirty breakdown riffs, terrifyingly amazing gutturals and bombastic drumming beautifully. 
   "Desolated Toxic Wasteland" resonates highly with the kind of pulverising traditional Slam styles of legends such as Kraanium and Ingested, stamped with Diphenylchloroarsine's trademark swampy, visceral sludgy swagger. Although traditionally fast and aggressive in parts, elsewhere this track also verges on Lorna Shore-esque slowing breakdown territory.       Overall, Post Apocalyptic Human Annihilation is essential listening for any fan of Brutal Death-Metal and Slam. Diphenylchloroarsine's unique brand of "Biochemical Sludge Slam" really does push the boundaries of extreme music possibility, with long, highly original and refreshingly crushing songs, forged by some of the best musicians the scene has to offer.

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...
