Drift Of Genes - Excruciating Severe Laceration
With immediate excitement, I clicked on the latest download from BRUTALISM.com to check what had arrived in my inbox and on closer inspection I realized that this little bundle of putridity was created by a lone guy that goes under the name of Spasm, who is not only the string and the bass section but also the vocal chords of Drift Of Genes, and hails from the Ukraine. The band only started off with two members back in 2008 (Kim -Drums) but now is a one man outfit.
The savage artwork for one such masterpiece is nothing less than you would expect and harbors a savagery within its title alone. It screams out “play me” with its compelling, yet gruesome picture of someone looking absolutely scared shit less amid a blue wash of transparent color.
Death Metal is a particularly favorite genre of mine for the sheer brutality it portrays and love this music with the feeling of coursing blood as it flows effortless through the veins and ravages your whole body, like a deadly infection - so I am hoping that this 13 track is going to do what I hope it should.
Stimulation
Not what I was expecting.... as a beautiful ensemble of strings emanate from the speakers... waiting with baited breath for the barrage of music to hit with some ferocity... nope... but it is highly melodic with a shimmering of cymbals. Still hoping it stimulates me for the next track...
Raped By A Zombie
Now you are talking! This is it - fast furious abrasive onslaught of guttural secreted vocals amid a superb grinding of blast beats and heavy guitar. I am not disappointed...
Pus Injection System
More juicy blast beats and crashing of cymbals with growling gruesome vocal that builds to a superb crescendo – I can literally feel the blood rushing around my body now as this takes hold... awesome track!
Dildo Torpedo
Heavy and melodic with the tell tale sound of “squeak” from the guitar and the gravelly vocal onslaught continues to wreak havoc on the listener. Savagely executed – can't keep still to this track at all.
Excruciating Severe Laceration
Sampled growls and a blasting array of beats this frenzied title track comes to life and literally pummels its way into the brain. The low growls make me reach for the volume control and fuck the neighbors who cares! The guitar absolutely shines on this track – it is like it is crying in agony and it more than likely is! - sheer brutality this will make your ears bleed and your neck ache!
Cunt From Outta Space
A bit of a gory beginning with the sound of ripping flesh and a voice saying “Where the fuck did she come from?” then it explodes in your face with a typical barrage of growls and grunts coupled with precision guitar and blasting beats that sound like a firing squad on speed. This is one awesome track from start to finish and gives you what you want!
Out Of Blood, Slut And The Banana
Give me the savagery and brutality – this track has a banquet of it. It's driving melodic rhythms swathe you in the most brutal onslaught of deadly power known to man – it never loses its grip on your ears and is compelling to the end.
Dead Flesh Devours
“I am eating your brains, I am gaining your knowledge!” this is one sick track without a doubt superbly executed by this lone creature we know only as Spasm The track literally carves its path right to your ears, smashes your skull and devours what is left of the brain make no mistake about it. Compelling and deadly this will indeed rip your face off!
Alcoholic Hallucinations
“Who are you?” asks the sampled voice then the sound of an evil laugh ensues and then more guttural going's on come splattering from the shaking speakers building to a superb level of awesome brutality with heaps of melody contained within every note it breathes and longer than the previous tracks at 4 minutes 24 seconds. Believe me you won't want this track to end – highly pleasurable! I am enjoying being ripped apart by the menacing sounds within this deadly track oh yes!
Killing Time (cover Obituary)
Sounding very much the same as the original by Obituary however I can honestly say this version sounds more deadly than Obituary and yes it is possible and considering this has been done by one man is to the total extreme end of the scale.
Uniformity
Heavy, compelling and engaging with superb guitar and pummeling drum beat with cookie monster vocals that add that brilliant flavor to the mix. I did not think it possible for anything to be played so fast but Spasm has shone again. It also shows off his bass skills with some hard edged brutal hooks. This is off the scale altogether! Brilliant!
Box Of Pain
Some amazing samples start up that sounds like a gun being fired repeatedly with some blast beats following. The vocal content is highly addictive and sung sorry growled to perfection. This will make you go dizzy with the high degree of musicianship that is displayed here.
Liquefactive
I can't believe the album is at an end :( this track holds a good strong melody and is slightly slower than the previous tracks although not much and as the savagery continues it picks up pace once more and again hits the top level of brutal on the scale.
To sum up:
A highly pleasing and pleasurable listen to be had here. Despite the first track lulling you into a false sense of security but still played superbly there is not one duff track on the whole album. It wreaks of professionalism and expertly produced by Drift of Genes I can tell you in three words how I feel listening to this album and they are “smothered in brutality!” If you really dig the brutalz then you have to listen to this album but like a good chocolate bar it needs to be fully digested in order to get the best from it. So buy this album it doesn't get any better than this![embed]https://www.youtube.com/embed/fVFI9DBMU5c[/embed]
