Create Rapid Massacre - Reality Sux
After a promising build-up introduction with 'First Step', this short album from Greece death metalers soon takes a downward spiral. With eight tracks and only two surfacing past the three minute marker Create Rapid Massacre avoid the grindcore genre but embrace a tech-death, almost deathcore approach. Unfortunately the quality of each track lacks the punch which the genre desires.
There are few pinches of hope for the band such as 'Never On Cooldown', which features an almost club-like jazz fusion segment followed by one of the catchiest riffs you'll hear all year. This however is short lived, and as sweet as it was, I ultimately wanted to hear more of this progressive side to the band. 'Stalin 21' also has a certain hype behind it, ceasing as my favourite track among them. The samples used in this track peaked my interest, and the riffage built around them, along with the breakdowns, connected as a pleasant listening experience.
Whilst those two tracks are listed as my favourites, they are perhaps the only tracks on the entire album that I actually enjoyed. The drums recorded on here sound programmed, and there's a low quality feel throughout the album's initial sound. Not to mention the vocals are as bland as they come and lack the death metal thrill, something that I really find interesting about extreme genres of music, which Create Rapid Massacre evidently are not consistent on at all. Reality here does not completely suck. But there is definitely room for improvement, that's for sure.
