Impetuous Ritual

01. Impetuous Ritual - Relentless Execution Of Ceremonial Excrescence, 2009 CD Album      Profound Lore Records - PFL-53 02. Impetuous Ritual - Unholy Congregation Of Hypocritical Ambivalence, 2014 CD Album      Profound Lore Records - PFL-131 03. Impetuous Ritual - Blight Upon Martyred Sentience, 2017 CD Album      Profound Lore Records - PFL-185 After two war metal posts, let us conclude with a I-don't-know-how-they-call-this metal. It is like death metal, war metal and funeral doom metal all rolled up into one machine of complete annihilation. Some of these guys also fuel the engine called Portal and we find here numerous similarities in sound and style. The heaviness is equivalent too, but for some reason, I find Impetuous Ritual more oppressive and darker, as if the crust was thicker. Being a fan of Portal and Nuclear Death helps digesting this lot, but the listener still has work to do. It is more about waves of moving sonic menaces and relentless percussive assaults than riffs and headbanging. One does not merely listens to this music, one submits to it. Play it loud on a big amplifier and observe the fissures in your surroundings. Perfect brilliance of the suffocating attack of triplazering gigadeath from the deepest caverns!

Bestial Warlust

01. Bestial Warlust - Vengeance War 'Till Death, 1994 CD Album      Modern Invasion Music - MIM 7316-2 CD 02. Bestial Warlust - Blood & Valour, 1995 CD Album      Modern Invasion Music - MIM 7321-2CD 03. Bestial Warlust - Satan's Fist, 1996 CD Reissue Limited Edition      Hells Headbangers - HELLS 084      Reissue from 2012 Bathory can be proud. A whole subgenre defined by one song, just like Venom a couple of years before. In this war metal week, let us consume the second most renowned name in this game. These not-very-nice Aussies use the same basic poisons and machines as Blasphemy to concoct a similarly sounding assault on the senses : more recycling of the early Sodom | Bathory madness, more merciless blasting, more primal riffing, more vocal hostility, more war metal ! This is just great and definitely a big black hole in the black death segment of the EZTT. Triplazering eternal war!!! Remove brackets and unzip: [war] !ZER Bestial Warlust ZER!

Blasphemy

01. Blasphemy - Fallen Angel Of Doom, 1990 CD Album      Wild Rags Records - WRE/901-2 02. Blasphemy - Gods Of War, 1993 CD Album      Osmose Productions - OPCD 008 War metal, I said! Chainsaws and cannibals! Somewhere at the barycenter of the most corroded engines of early Sodom | Bathory with a bit of Repulsion, shaken by all the confusion and the frenzy, there is this noise factory that bites the carnivorous death metal meat with the primitive black metal teeth. It all bleeds very well into the crypts of Zer, having made the zeriverse safe for zerocracy. The best, most vicious section is the bonus demo on Gods of War. War metal til triplazer!

World Burns To Death

01. World Burns To Death - The Sucking Of The Missile Cock + Human Meat... Tossed To The Dogs Of War, 2003 CD Compilation      Hardcore Holocaust Records - HHR009 02. World Burns To Death - No Dawn Comes... Night Without End, 2003 Vinyl 7" 33 ⅓ RPM EP      Hardcore Holocaust Records - HHR-014 03. World Burns To Death - Totalitarian Sodomy, 2006 CD Album      Hardcore Holocaust Records - HHR 037 04. World Burns To Death - The Graveyard Of Utopia, 2008 CD Album      HG Fact - HG-218 05. World Burns To Death, Slang - Our Gray Earth / Babylon Endures, 2010 Vinyl 7" EP Limited Edition      Prank - PRANK-114 , Compilation      Contains 2 songs by: World Burns To Death, Slang Scream and burn! Since the late 90s, the term "hardcore" has taken a different meaning from the one us thrashosaurs from another era were used to, aka fiery punk-influenced thrash. The young generation likes to tag baggy-pants jumping metal as "hardcore", but World Burns To Death know not to do that and instead act as the official reincarnation of Poison Idea, especially the (favorite of mine) War All The Time era - fast, loud, mean punk-influenced thrash. They also run on open source tactics shared by the darker side of the crustcore aristocracy. We defenseless listeners end up with a smoldering output of virulent seminal hardcore, expertly delivered - easily in the hardcore top 10 of the century if you ask me, they are so good they could be Japanese (and the GISM singer did that Sodomy cover art). While not renewing the musical spectrum, it is exactly what the doctor recommends when yet another war is all our enlightened democratic "leaders" can think of. The leeches never cease to amaze - and you still vote, LOL. I'd rather become deaf blasting World Burns To Death at 11 into my poor eardrums than hear another pro-democracy argument. I think I'll be posting war metal for a while now. Triplazering thrash til the end of the fucking world! Remove brackets and unzip: [carbonizer] !ZER World Burns To Death ZER!

Encoffination

01. Encoffination - Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh, 2010 CD Album      Selfmadegod Records - SMG 068 02. Encoffination - O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres, 2011 CD Album      Selfmadegod Records - SMG 080 03. Encoffination - III: Hear Me, O' Death (Sing Thou Wretched Choirs), 2014 CD Album      Selfmadegod Records - SMG122 It has been a while since we were crushed under layers of terminal doom. Let us thank Encoffination, who despite their parody of the Incantation logo, deliver the goods through hours of funeral marches. Do not expect fast death metal paces here. This is sick stuff, very oppressive, very raw and very impenetrable. Absolute delight! The morbidity is at 11, and is is all much less friendly, clean and sad than regular funeral doom. Neanderthalizer of the macabre! Flattening slab of all things! Doom terror of the irreversible! Remove brackets and unzip: [eternal doomnation] !ZER Encoffination ZER!

Vendetta

01. Vendetta - Go And Live......Stay And Die, 1987 CD Album Remastered      Metal Axe Records - MA 013      Reissue from 2007 - 2 bonus tracks 02. Vendetta - Brain Damage, 1989 CD Album      Noise - WK 44272 03. Vendetta - Hate, 2007 CD Album      Metal Axe Records - MA 014 Requested, zerred. 80s Teutonic thrash metal always provides great vertebral trauma and Vendetta do not break this law of Nature. The first two albums are an efficient derivative of the early Metallica | Destruction formula with a tangent to the trajectory of Deathrow and Exodus. Mean and rough, yet fairly technical and melodic, this is the stuff for fans of the Holy Decade. The return of 2007 is pretty good too, maybe too Hetfieldesque in the vocals, and I have not heard the last two. Vendetta belong to the sub-galaxy of acts such as Meliah Rage, Vectom, Exumer, SDI and the likes : a not too eccentric nor extreme take on the thrash style developed by more successful bands. Bang that head! Remove brackets and unzip: [teutonic zer] !ZER Vendetta ZER! LOL.

To The Sanctuary Of Slaves, 2012 Vinyl 12" Limited Edition 45 RPM      Profane Existence - EXIST 130 Back to the stinking 80s! Deviated Instinct were swimming in the cesspool of sleazy crust thrash punk metal crossover that had been ignited by Venom, Amebix, Antisect etc. They were not the biggest fish in my pond - in this category I found Concrete Sox, Heresy or Hellbastard more satisfying - but that's only personal preferences. The EP is almost ridiculously not listenable for all the sloppiness but the two albums are great, fast. pissed, metalized crust thrash. And then they came back with the 2012 mini LP and this is were things get dead serious: this is a masterpiece of super crushing sludge compression. The heaviness is exemplary, the production is stellar-yet-still-dirty, the hate oozes by every pore, this is the perfect weapon of defenestration. Are they still active? I hope so, I want more of this deadly crust attack of triplazeristic death metal sludge! Remove brackets and unzip: [zerified crustinct] !ZER Deviated Instinct ZER!

Teeth Of The Hydra

01. Teeth Of The Hydra - We Are The Fantasy, 2002 CD Album      VolumeHammer - HAMMER 01 02. Teeth Of The Hydra - Greenland, 2006 CD Album      Tee Pee Records - TPE-071 03. Teeth Of The Hydra - Greenland, 2006 Vinyl LP Album      Tee Pee Records - TPE-071 Slow down, wait. The beasts with many teeth are always a lot of fun when they deliver such amounts of sludge and doom. The first fantasy is great nutritive fat for those who do not have enough of Ramesses with more sludge than stoner, all chewing doom. The second greenland adds sophistication in the composition and production and the Teeth become more flexible without losing strength, as if input from the darkest lair of Mastodon had been digested. This is a superior album, full of things to remember and to come back to. It is a minor classic, I would have loved to hear what could have been released next. Massage of doom!
