I have my work cut out here picking an album with 15 tracks of hardcore grind (a genre that is close to my blackened heart). Love is the feeling it gives off as it strides into view and smashes your ears to pieces.
First track ‘Incubation’ is really dark and brooding as it swipes heartily and aggressively. However, it has surprised me as it really doesn’t sound like anything I have heard before so I am beginning to see where the no colour, no gender, no fads come in.
The second track ‘Barbie Voorhees’ is a metal can of worms and it allows us to sample the grinding fury at its best. ‘Guts and Fire’ pulverises along the same lines although some dirty punk can be witnessed with a lot of dirty death metal too. ‘Lobotomized’ is how you feel after being torn in so many different directions, it is quite thrilling (to be honest)! ‘One by One’ is quite a metal saturated track with thunderous gruff vocal onslaught. ‘Latent Dementia’ just comes and goes along with a bit of ambience. ‘GIL’ has a superb presence and really kicks the pace up a notch or two.
‘Descending Into Madness’ reveals a sample saying: “every species can smell its own extinction, the last ones left, won’t have a pretty time of it. In ten years, maybe less the human race will just be a bedtime story for the children – a myth”. Isn’t that what it is already?
‘Reign of The Leeches’ is a good chugger with grizzly vocals and stupendous beats. ‘Seeds of Demise’ although sounds good, sounds a little bit like the previous track, but no complaints from me. ‘Free Range Meat’ begins with a terrifying scream and lots of shouting – I don’t want to hear anymore it is torturous!
‘Mud Doll Factory’ really gives the bass a run for its money with large slabs of killer hooks and brutal riffs, not forgetting the great lyrics. ‘Mindfuck’ is what it says on the label no need to describe this it is self-explanatory. ‘Swallowed by The Earth’ just loving the samples they are really thought provoking with great punkish smacks of rhythm. ‘Repeated Slaughter of The Undead Cunt’ is a title and a half! And kind of conjures up rather shocking images but the track itself is a real potent encounter that will definitely leave you more than exhilarated.
The Brood The Truth Behind is out 3rd February 2017 via Give Praise.
