After a mesmerizing intro you’re fucking chopped up into tiny bits of
bloody human chunks, and thrown into the meatgrinder called Balatonizer.
The first thing I actually came to think of was Mortician... And I
prepared myself for 25+ minutes of some of the most down tuned death
metal imaginable... But after a few songs I quickly came to reason,
this is no Mortician rip off, this is fucking grindcore man! It was the
low, low, low vocals and pummelling drum machine that set me off
course, but now I'm back on track and preparing myself for drum machine
deathgrind... But do not brush this off as another crappy grind band
that can't grind for themselves and not even write a decent riff to
save their lives; this is some fucking heavy shit. These are some heavy
and metallic riffs, really fucking great string-work! Combined with
pulverizing mangle from the drums, although programmed I don’t give a
fuck, it’s just murderous… And on top of it all, as I said, very low
growling.
These Italians manage to pull of 31 songs plus 1 intro in less than 26
minutes. And it doesn’t sound like they just couldn’t write longer
songs with the same quality. It’s easily detected that if they just
wanted to they could by all means do longer songs, as all the riffs
here are top notch. This is just a feast on great riffs! And to stand
out a bit of the crowd, Balatonizer occasionally uses some synthesizer
or something. I’m not sure what it is, but it sounds really cool!
Unfortunately no lyrics are included, but the booklet contains a very
cool comic with the three band- members as characters. Though, the
reason for the booklet to contain no lyrics, are the fact that they
apparently have non! That’s what the promo-sheet says. They thank the
Cannibal Corpse vocalist Corpsegrinder for inspiration, they’ve put a
cool video to the Muscular Prevarication on the CD… And the music rips!
What the fuck else do you need? For fans of Mortician, Dying Fetus and
the likes.
8/10
