Fuck the Facts - Stigmata High Five

Self-described as "Bastardized Grind"; I would say that's a decent description, but from the riffing style, I think it has more to do with modern Death Metal.  You can tell that this band pretty much pulls from all types of Extreme Metal stylistically, which only adds to their listenability.  Even with thorough blasting, the band still manages to create noticeable dynamics (showing true talent).  Every player in the band shines here, except for the overshadowed bass (which is a gimme in heavy music).  I don't think i've heard more variations on the blast-beat in a single album, all of them sounding clear with ample aggression.  The guitar playing is ballerina-nimble and will explore several sub-genres  in every song.  The vocals have an appropriate throaty sound and drive the aggressive message home the most.  It's so satisfying when an album is interesting and brutal at the same time.  I know I like to elaborate a lot, but there's not much more I can say besides: It's flat-out good.
