Hit: 4 Stars
Three years after dropping their debut, "Killing Absorption," Fleshgore blast back onto the scene with a new singer, and a skull-crushing new album, "May God Strike Us Dead." Boasting the same core sound as before (i.e. ginormous, corrosive riffs, ripping solos, remarkably fast, walloping blast beats, and classic grindcore vocals), but also an improved (i.e. a lot crisper, and less muddy-sounding) production job, and more individually memorable songs/standout tracks than before, the new record is a big step forward for the Ukranian death-grind quartet.
The album peels out of the starting gate with tires squealing, and (with the exception of the slower tempo and acoustic guitar intro on the fourth track, "Passion,") it never lets off the gas for the entire duration. The rip-roaring first track, "Crackdown," mows you over with a huge main riff, buzzsaw leads, a careening solo, and vocals which range from deep bellows to, well, deeper bellows. "Day of Doom" continues to scathe away with pounding, doomy riffs, and a series of awesome solos. "Greed" is positively scorching, and is backed by driving blast beats, bulldozing, tractor-sized riffs, a wild solo, and tortured, pig-squeal shrieks. Other highlights include the ridiculously fast drumming and catchy, grooving guitars on "Obtrusion," the abrasive riffing, Nile-esque jackhammer drums, and face-melting solos on "No Way Out!," and "Time to Stop," a blinding avalanche of steamrolling riffs and machine gun blasts.
"May God Strike Us Dead" does very little to reinvent grindcore, and it will doubtlessly only appeal to listeners who are already fans of the genre, but there's absolutely no denying that it is a very enjoyable, exhilarating, and realized affair. All metalheads should definitely take notice of Fleshgore, and if you like your metal stripped down, revved-up, and relentlessly crushing, this album will be your wet dream.
