INFECTION - Acrotomophile Mutilator
Independent
A
mix between thrash/death/grind with a load of exquisite guitar amongst a
bellowing low vocal output on each track except of course the intense
instrumental. This album is just that though - INTENSE death metal that managed
to be with a recording that authenticated the intricate work it takes to make a
death metal release likable, palatable and exceptional. Each song is made up of
music that is a like heavily distorted guitar with a tone that is thrash metal
like whizzing all over the fretboard. This band shows so much promise and they
need more audience to hear their amazingly original compositions. You get it
all here - a wide array of musical styles and hate ridden vocals.
I'd
have to say that I enjoyed the guitars the most on here because the music that
they came up with was wholly original, though definitely you can hear those
influences on each song. I know that the album itself wasn't entirely long - 32
minutes approximately, but most encouragingly well worth a listen to or many
for that matter. There really was not a wide variety when it came to the
vocals, but the tempos, the length of each song was about the same throughout.
However there was an exception - one track was under two minutes. Even though
they're a Peruvian based act, they definitely need a wider audience! This
amount of intensity and originality has to get heard!
I
don't favor their lyrical concepts, just the music. They're not a band that is
really philosophically or politically based, they're straight gore-like lyrics
fit, but to me, don't take an exquisite amount of creativity - their forces lie
in the musical performances. Their songs vary from a wide array of time
signatures - some slow, some medium, and some fast which includes a bit of
blast beating. The guitars really show if I may enunciate the word DYNAMICS!
The only thing that I didn't favor that highly of was the lead guitar, which
wasn't featured on every track. That's the only real discrepancy I have with
the album. There were only a few things as to why I didn't give the album a
higher rating.
I
will say this though: overall, this was not just an "A-" rating by
whim, it is a rating that deserves even higher if the only flaws were in what I
mentioned in the recording. The music to me I don't think after multiple
listens ever got boring. I'm saying that the combination of everything that was
in the music was wholly exceptional. The band really came through with their
songs and the quality of musicianship is incredible. There really wasn't
anything that was enticingly loathsome, so though I was originally thinking of
giving this an "A", I stepped back a bit and had to knock off points
because of what was production drawback coming from an independent release.
However, this one is a gem!
If
you're looking for death metal that encompasses diversity, “Acrotomophile
Mutilator” is A MUST HAVE. It blew me away when I heard it the first time and I
don't think that I'll get sick of it. The riffs from the guitar were incredible
- they combined many different arrays of influences to tackle down their own
unique overtures, inculcating dominance and precision. Not just an ordinary
death metal album, this one is an extraordinary one! Let us hope that they get
signed soon to a major record label and continue to explore their music to a
wider audience. Check out their band camp page and be sure to buy the CD or
digitally download their entire album because it's worth it!
