I first heard of this new deadly release from blogger-bro and fellow fat guy Brett. As you would expect, the level of musicianship and sonic violence is staggering. You just don't get any tighter and more technically demanding than this, so much so that it's a bit "show-ey". [start of tangent] I often wonder to myself where Metal can really go in terms of extremes. I mean, blast-beats are now so "palatable" that you can see System of a Down play them on SNL. Ok, so that means "Brutal" Death Metal bands have to up the ante and play gravity blasts. So now we have bands like Braindrill that just play gravity-blasts throughout their entire album. Is there any room to get even more brutal than that? I don't think so. It's to the point where some of these albums sound like an A-10's mini-gun. Metal musicians need to realize that being the fastest, slowest, or most guttural doesn't make you good. Music is supposed to be art, not an arms race. Don't put out music just because you can, do it because you have significant art that you think would better people's lives. [end of tangent] Desecravity do a pretty good job of keeping things interesting and brutal at the same time. Implicit Obedience is a great listen, just don't expect it to change your life (or your view of Death Metal).
