LA RECENSIONE
About twenty days have passed since my previous review; we are going soft. Too much cleanliness, too many sugar-coated words; Debaser needs GG (Genital Grinder). And so tonight I am ready and will strike again with unheard ferocity; tremble and hold on tight, you'll come out of this skinned alive, or dead if you prefer.
Thirty years since Chernobyl, the nuclear disaster; I thought of Nuclear Death, who formed in Phoenix, Arizona in that cursed 1986. I turned my old home cellar upside down to find the cassette of their first album; a 60-minute chrome TDK, equally divided on the two sides between “Reign in Blood” by Slayer and indeed “Bride of Insect” by Nuclear Death. Same duration for both works: just under 29 minutes. But let's leave Slayer aside, who seem like a pop-teen band in comparison.
A FRIGHTENING album, recorded in just a few hours with bare minimum effort and a budget of a few hundred dollars: a filthy cacophonic sound. A nuclear bomb (and of course I had to mention that): a machine-gun and degenerate sound that blends together Grind, Death, Hardcore, Noise. Plus the female voice of Lori Bravo, one of the first ladies to sing in such an extreme and violent band. She destroys her vocal cords with her odd and frantic screams; the lyrics talk of rape, necrophilia, death in the short songs. Absolute and total chaos; a dark and horrifying music that takes worthy inspiration from “Scum” by Napalm Death, adding an overdose of frantic speed and the oral blasphemy of Venom. It feels like the band is on the verge of collapsing in on itself, exploding at any moment from so much vehemence and interpretive brutality.
It starts with the verbal lynching of “Necrobestiality” and continues with a series of horribly titled tracks: “Feral Viscera”, “Cremation”, “The Colour of Blood”. Blood, blood, more blood; just under thirty minutes of sound extremism beyond any limit of endurance. But what an auditory pleasure: a masterpiece, no bullshit!!
They will no longer be able to repeat themselves at such inhumane levels...PLACE OF SKULLS...
Ad Maiora.
