Heinous Killings- Hung with Barbwire- Unmatched Brutality Records
This band began life as the solo-project of Ohio's Joe Wolfe (ex- Clean Flesh/Erotic Incisions), born of his frustration at those bands lack of releases. Wolfe performed all musical and vocal duties himself, which it quickly becomes apparent was no mean feat. However, since the recording, a full line-up has been put together, featuring Ben Deskins (Necrotic Disgorgement/ex-Regurgitation) and Harold Burton (ex-Erotic Incisions/Decay) on guitars, D.J. France on drums and Phil Good (Solidification) on bass. But what the fuck's the album like?Stunning, in a word. Others would be ferocious, brutal, pulverising…I could list 'em all day. Brutality may be a word that is thrown around too much these days, with shitty death-core bands and the like. But Wolfe knows exactly what true brutality entails. This is no frills, no-bullshit, brutal fucking death metal. Considering all instruments were performed by one man (Wolfe seems to be Ohio's version of Shawn Whitaker with his solo-project Insidious Decrepancy), the music side of things is impressive, ferocious blasts segue seamlessly into chunky slams and back again, each song providing its own highlights. There's not a lot of variation in the structure and sound, but what else do you expect in brutal death metal, and unlike many bands, each song is recognisable from the last. But the best thing about this album is, far and away, the vocals, and I'm not just saying that 'cos I'm a vocalist and always look to a bands vocals before anything else, they are in fact some of the sickest ever!! They cover the entire range of brutal vocals with astounding power and dexterity, from high-end pig-squeal type things, through standard death growls and gutturals, to perhaps the one thing more than any other this guy is famous for- the amazing predator vokills!! They fucking own!! How he ejects these inhuman sounds from his throat are beyond me. Truly one of greatest death metal vocalists ever!!Fans of more complex or melodic death may be put off by the short length (28mins 04secs) and lack of solo's, but fuck 'em, this is for those who know what death metal is truly about- it's not tech-wankery or melodic pussy-fying, its about making the most brutal, sick, extreme music possible.The package contains no lyrics, and their not on the net either, though even if they were I doubt you'd match a word to the vocal spewing. However, you can tell from song titles like 'Possessed to Kill', 'Strangled by Intestines' and 'Chopped Up in a Bodybag'; as well as the opening sample, which starts with children singing then moves to a report of someone killing their whole family, that they refer to serial killers and the like, steering clear of the sex and cunts obsession in the underground today (not that that's bad thing in any way!!). Indeed the inside of the sleeve proudly proclaims: "Remember, its not about Satan and it's not about pussy, it's about brutality!", and this is exactly what makes this a nigh perfect album- instead of trying to come up with the most disgusting song names ever, Wolfe has concentrated solely on creating a master-piece of sheer, unrelenting brutality, and it sounds fucking good to me!!
