The
long awaited 2nd studioalbum of one of the most important Death/Grind
Polish bands
proves that this 5 year's period, full of split EP's/CD's and successful
tours, has been used the most intelligent way; as a matter of fact the
4-piece hasn't forgotten how to rend asses as it used to do while writing
'Inperdition', though it has improved itself to the right direction
by now displaying a catchier and more various songwriting.
It's plain to everyone they've been working hard on the riffs (like
in the very grind 'I Wish You A Nice Evening ', or in the following
schizo riff-oriented 'Futuristic Trial Of Mankind' ), and one
can happily welcome the bulk of new guitar solos, better known as splinters
of bursting shells. Most notable is the hallucinated part with tremendous
basses and a lonesome guitar in 'Beyond Reincarnation'; I also
need to stress out that Bayn's old grunts have been replaced by as many
others as cool growls, and that skinbeater Sivy is now committed not
only to the classic fast assaults, but sort of intricated ones, too.
Today's D. are more easily comprehensible, without losing an ounce
of brutality of course, and they feel like more trying new solutions,
for example in 'They Will Never Destroy the Mountains', they're
surer of themselves, which can be noticed in the double vocals of 'Nothing
Excuses' and 'Futuristic Trial of Mankind', and SHIT
FUCKED GODDAMNED HELL BLOODY 'Damnable I' joyfully reminds
me of 'Harmony Corruption' Napalm Death's riffs that made them
popular. Give the Poles still some time and they're gonna be close
to perfection, but meanwhile if you also bear in mind their wise
lyrics, and the 3 live tracks on JPEG that the generous German label
decided to include in the limited edition, you will rightly understand
you can't be unprepared on their impending extensive European tour.
