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.
