Biography:
“Formed only recently in 2012,
TrenchRot make music within the structure of two rules:
1. Play Death Metal
2. Crush posers”
I am pretty stoked to review this one! The titles alone spark sheer
joy into my blackened heart and the album cover is just superb! Now onto the
main reason – the music!
Death by Trenchrot
And what a way to go! This track just ravages and rampages to a
brutal melee of spiteful energy. Contagious rhythms, harsh edged vocals and a
splurge of riffs – I don’t mind dying if it is by Trenchrot! Thrilling to the last note!
Gustav Gun
A savage, melodic anthemic track with thunderous arms of predatory
riffs that will engulf you as soon as look at you! Vocally devours whilst the
rhythms will polish off all the gristly bits – sonically engaging, the guitar
riffs explode into a frenzied madness.
The most unspeakable of acts
The energetic gait is prevalent here – expect no mercy from its ever
tightening grip! This is an encounter you won’t forget in a hurry. Fluent in robust melodic riffs and captivates
using a scornful vocal that sticks to the aural like a leech.
Mad Dogs of War
Pummeling madness and vocal fury, complimented by audacious riffage
is strongly appealing and 100% potent in every sense of the word. Death metal
with a blackened twist like a rusty knife in the shoulder blades.
Sickening Devotion
Compelling and voracious it springs to life with more than vengeance,
it never lets up tension or intensity for a second. Pummeling with sheer brute force it will
smash you in the head and make your eyes water!
Necrotic Victory
Another predatory track that will leave you somewhat disorientated
as the strenuous muscular arms of brutality once again grabs you by the throat
and doesn’t just throttle the aural but more like rips it from the head.
Provocatively heavy just as you would expect and then some!
Maddening Aggression
It’s straight into more vocal madness and damming drumming helped
along by towering riffs and ungainly rhythms – this live will no doubt be a pit
starter and nobody will come out alive! It definitely lives up to its title.
Necronomic Warfare
Stops for a moment... this is sinister and ambient. Giving way to a
riotous vocal and then swoops into a powerful hunger of malevolence. It
emulates evil from every pore so much so if it was a virus it would have spread
around the globe in seconds.
Gallery of the Dead
Another anthemic alluring little ditty that bursts into yet more
fast and ferocious goings on backed up by perpetual gnawing vocals that seethe
in the aggression of the track and as a result is one riveting listen! Without
a doubt one of my favourite tracks on the album and I shall be listening to it
several times more before my thirst is thoroughly quenched.
Trapped under Treads
This track will leave large bloody footprints on your head as it
rampages and soars through its entirety, unleashing more malevolence and
aggression with every riff and rhythm it produces.
Dragged down to Hell
The insidious grooves make their presence felt in no uncertain
terms, growling and vicious it continues its mighty onslaught and forces you
along into a world of sheer brutality. The guitar sounds like an unruly horse
neighing vehemently and will no doubt kick you in the gut when you least expect
it.
To Sum up:
This is one raw and punishing album that will no doubt be played to
death – good job it is not on vinyl as it would resemble black lace at the end
of its play time. Feisty and addictive this is one album that should be played
at least thrice a day and taken with a few aspirins as it will cause plenty of
head-banging and heaps of adrenalin rushes that may not be good for the faint
of heart!
In short it is an incendiary device that once put in the player will
go totally nuts and explode into a riotous outbreak. Superb album! Death by Trenchrot - it is the only way to die!
