BONUS TRACKS. This album is slightly less political in nature. Many of the
songs have obscure meanings, however there are some basic profanity filled
rants to be heard. As far as GRINDCORE goes, some of the tracks are
experimental with their sound.
All instruments and vocals
performed by LERCH FREYLEY.
All songs written by LERCH
FREYLEY except 'THIS LIVING HELL written by LERCH FREYLEY, BRUCE WILLOUGHBY,
and GRAHAM BRADFIELD, and RELIGION IS POISON written by LERCH and VINCENT
CROWLEY.
Genre: Extreme Metal, Grind Core, Speed Metal,
Hard Core, Anarcho..
And
what seems like out of nowhere comes Stench
of Humanity! Anarchy rules on this extreme mix of grind core and hard core –
the malodour just bites into your flesh as soon as you listen.
As
with most grind core albums the tracks last just a fragment of time before
finishing and don’t ever give you time to fully engage before moving on to the
next track, however, what you get here are quality tracks that are demanding and
a gripping mix of vehemence with added elegance!
Balanced
within the very core of the first track (Intro)
Soulianis and Rahm is a great melodic swagger that whet’s the appetite
before the next track Kymatica kicks
in and bludgeons the senses. Moving on to Anton’s
Key which hits the ground running, the guttural snares lure with instant
appeal. The true statement of Everything
Means Nothing then appears with two toned vocals of seething screams and
low toned malevolence. GSMA hits
with a fast frenzied attack on the audial before I fucking hate you with its biting lyrics and wielding madness
comes to the forefront and is one very anthemic track that permeates evil
vengeance. Horny For Your Death is a
hard hitting splurge that lasts a mere 10 seconds so don’t blink or you will
miss it! Brainwashed allows the
listener a good 2 minutes to feast on its archaic structure and monumental
chugs before unleashing a pure stringed arrangement that is beautifully
melodic, before Perception Synthesis unleashes
a dark malevolence that is inspiring as it is gripping. Religion Is Poison yet another true statement, this track is
bludgeoning and faster than an express train as it throttles into a thickening
smog that devours on impact. Suspension
of Disbelief comes hurtling into view and takes no prisoners as the hearty
riffs explode amid an air of repugnance that is captured by extremely low and
gruff vocal redolence. Your Creation again
don’t blink or you will miss the 18 seconds of sheer brutality that scrambles
by in a jiffy! Blaspheme and Kill the
Moon God again surges into a blackened mode of steely attitude and rips you
a new one! This Living Hell is the
longest track on this FREE album and stalks in a predatory manner until it
decides to pick up the pace and run with it – the vocal entourage is deep, dark
and as you would expect, but none the less delicious as it sucks the life from your
bones amid a ghostly screaming malignancy that is provocative and exciting, and
to think this has all been created by one man – Lerch is incredible!
(Outro) Serenity of Despair is an amazingly
haunting track that elegantly moves through its paces with grace and ingenuity.
Summary:
This
is a compelling album that sweeps through its tracks like a hot knife through
butter but has been created with a lot of thought and experimentation. Although
some of the tracks are over before they have a chance to get going within each
of them is a creative enterprise that won’t go unnoticed with the grinders
among us.
The
diversity comes as the final track plays out where haunting strings and a more
tempered vocal reaches out in a bid to flavour the proceedings with sheer calm
from an unearthly storm that is felt within the rest of the album.
Lerch
says he is a loser who couldn’t find band mates at the time of writing, but I
disagree – anyone who can put together an album of this quality is no loser and
sometimes it is easier to do things yourself as then you get the desired
effects how you want them to sound, and Lerch has done this to perfection.
