4.5 out of 5 Stars: First Album review!!!
Decadence
With song titles like “Hatefuck,†“Release My Fist†and “Pigs: Homicide Remix,†it’s safe to say that Decadence wasn’t holding anything back on their self-titled EP. The band’s name is a bit of a misnomer, as there’s nothing decadent about their sound. It’s gritty, hardcore-style metal that pulls no punches.
The album is populated by chunky, thrashing guitar riffs and explosive breakdowns. Fans of other hardcore-metal acts like Hatebreed, Terror and Bury Your Dead will find Decadence agreeable enough. The hundred-mile-per-hour guitar riffs waste no time kicking in on the opener “Birth Certificate.†Later, the song kicks into a crushing breakdown full of blasting bass and drums as the band encourages you to “rip up the place, rip up the mother fucker.†As far as hardcore-metal goes, you can’t ask for a much more blood-boiling pleaser than “Birth Certificate.â€
Decadence doesn’t slowdown on the following track “Hatefuck.†Once again, the band delivers another brutal song that builds itself around a hammering guitar riff. Here, the band’s breakdowns take on great fist-pumping rhythms.
Eventually you’ll start to notice that not much changes about Decadence’s sound on tracks like “Worst Nightmare†and “That Shit,†but that won’t stop fans of the genre from enjoying the album. If you want growled vocals, speedy guitar and pounding rhythms, then you’ll have no complaints about the similarity of some songs.
It is worth noting that a few tracks of some more melody to them, like the riff that opens “Leadfoot†or the haunting melody that sneaks up on you out of the thrashing of “Release My Fist.†These tracks definitely help distinguish Decadence from other hardcore-metal acts. Also, the mix of the band’s thrashing sound and the samples of gangster rap lyrics on “Pigs:Homicide Remix†is unforgettable and guiltily pleasing.
Decadence delivers an album perfect for hardcore-metal fans. Their self-titled LP may sound formulaic at times, but it is not enough of an issue to scare metal heads off.
