Eighteen minutes!

You know when you get given an album and you have no idea what it is, You look at it and try to guess what you're going to get, this has some cool artwork on the cover of a half bird, half man thing, looking into a little nest on some skulls. Metal. I figured it wasn't going to be like AOR but it's got fourteen songs on it so I thought I was going to get a full album of metal/thrash. I was wrong.

Allow me to give you some figures. This 'album' is eighteen minutes long, yet it contains fourteen 'songs', now my maths isn't that great but even I can see that's a lot of songs in not much time. At 18 minutes I've had longer sing-a-longs in the bath yet if you buy it you will be charged full price. Someone is taking the piss.

Track one weighing in at five seconds, three of which are silent doesn't exactly take you on a musical journey but there again none of the other songs do either. Like a lot of albums this one leaves the over long self indulgent track to the end, there's a whole 3:17 of it, phew I was worn out after that.

As you can see by the track list this has hilarious song titles, none of which matter as the singer has adopted the style of someone being tortured with cattle prods, totally incoherent screaming over disjointed song structures. Ha, there I go using the word structures on songs that average one and a half minutes. What am I thinking.

According to their press release they spent "seventeen hour days delivering all their blood, sweat and other bodily fluids into the fourteen songs" seventeen hour days! What the fuck were you all doing for gods sake to boil it down to eighteen minutes of steaming crap, there isn't a track on here that is remotely good.

There is the odd good riff here but they're soon drowned out by our resident tortured singer, there's nothing I can think of to recommend this at £3 never mind full price, that really does make me a bit angry. If you want extreme and don't want to get completely ripped off go and buy the new 'Blood Stain Child' album you'll thank me later. As for 'See you next Tuesday' I don't know how many albums you have to sell to make another commercially viable but if you get there then think of all the people you ripped off with this and do a better job next time.
