Free Music Notes for For Maggots to Devour
Free Music Review: Not half bad & actually pretty good
Hit: 4 Stars
Good, old-fashioned death metal albums are more and more becoming the trend in the 21st century. Torture Killer's two obvious influences are Six Feet Under and Obituary. (They got their start by hanging out in rehearsal rooms drinking beer and playing their favorite songs by said bands.) But even though they are essentially a joke band, this Finnish quartet are actually quite good! In fact, when their debut, "For Maggots to Devour," was released in 2004, it was the best and hardest rocking album SFU hadn't released in several years!
Considering it was recorded in something like two and a half days and with next to no money, "FMTD" sounds pretty great. Torture Killer's demonic, growly vocals, predictable horror movie samples, and grosser than gross lyrics are classic death metal; their hooky, cruching, groove-oriented riffs are more along the lines of Eighties thrash; and their drummer may not exactly be technical, but he does use the double bass a lot more than SFU's Greg Gall, so he is arguably more noticeable and forceful.
The fiery guitars and thumping drums on opener "Flesh Breaks to Open Wounds" lock into a deep, propulsive groove, and track two, "Sadistic Violation," is backed by a lurching, headbanging groove. But this album definitely sounds best when it's fast, as the deft and blistering riffage behind "Motivated To Kill," "Necrophag," and "Gore Terror" demonstrate. And the album's two speediest tracks, "No Time To Bleed" and "Strangulation," which boast blazing, careening leads, exceptional, pounding double bass drumming, and even a decent little guitar solo, are also its biggest highlights.
Torture Killer will never be an innovative or original-sounding band with brilliant songwriting skills, but they aren't meant to be. Everybody who listens to "For Maggots to Devour" without thinking too hard on it will probably find this to be an enjoyable and catchy dose of groovy, gory, tongue-in-cheek death metal. A recommended listen for all diehard fans of the genre.
