ALBUM REVIEW
Bone Gnawer - Feast Of Flesh
Pulverised
 
Here is yet another "extreme metal supergroup" of sorts, fronted by a man whose name (at least to many) will be a kvlt "blast from the past!" Before I name said bestial vokillist, let me tell you what you can expect musically. Bone Gnawer takes the nasty gore ridden "old school" Floridian death metal we all "grew up" loving, but adds to that the groove and style, combining the two contrasting "schools" into one nasty, festering, yet melodically crunching "newer" sound…and yes, it does work VERY well indeed!
 
So who is the man belching out those visceral vocals? Welcome back Kam Lee. Yes, it is THAT ‘singer’ - the voice of Death/Massacre/Denial Fiend and Mantas! His new band genuinely sounds and feels like the very best that American and European death has to offer, being both blessedly unrelenting and brutal, yet accessible and eminently listenable at one and the same time.
 
Joining Kam are Naglfar drummer Morgan Lie, Ribspreader/Paganizer/Demiurg bass guitarist Rogga Johansson, and Rogga’s fellow Ribspreader/Hate Ammo guitarist Ronnie Bjornstrom, (who also mixed, produced, and mastered this album – top job geezer!). This would be a fearful/fearsome unit in its own right, but now add to that, guest-appearances by Killjoy (yes, he of Necrophagia infamy!), Impetigo’s Stevo Dobbins, and Dopi Diablo (Machetazo), and this begins to look, feel, and sound VERY special indeed! Which is exactly what it turns out to be thankfully.
 
This debut release a rammed (or should that be ‘fisted’ or even ‘force fucked’?) with 10 blistering, charred, blackened death metal master-classes, with unashamedly gore-infused imagery and horror film lyrics – Kam letting rip with some truly bowel-eviscerating vocal performances – I had genuinely forgotten just how potent and venomous the man sounds! Simply skull splittingly violent, and as abhorrently evilly demonic as any mortal possibly can...this is a bowel loosening nay decrepitating stunning return from Mr Lee.
 
Splendid stuff chaps!
