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.

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...
