If you’re looking for speed done with precision, and not just a big sloppy mess of noise, look no further. Doomsday Machine Schematic is a grind band hailing from Berlin, New Jersey.  These guys play some sick & spastic sounding   Death Metal with some Grindcore mashed in. Their sound takes you to the lowest bowels of pure hatred, aggression, pain, injustice, and suffering. Grindcore is, like all other forms of extreme aggressive music, very hard to do. The main problem is how to create a sound that is violent, yet meaningful and not generic-sounding. Doomsday Machine Schematic manages to pull this off and hit the nail on the head.

This 20 track disc is full of infernal guitar sawing and fast drum assaults, combined with incredibly imposing screams and guttural deliveries. The guitar tone is very dirty and crusty which adds a lot to the guitar riffs and tremolo parts; it gives it that whole wall of noise quality to it. Rapid-fire mortar sound of the drums defines the unique grind sound perfectly. Presence of monstrous bass lines all being played at extreme tempos are aplenty as well as some slower, crunchy grooves.

The songs can be best described as a burst of pure energy, building tension, only to ignite a few seconds after a drum fill or flam. The guitar tone is clearly audible, but of course without any signs of a horrendous overproduction or a hideous soup production. Every riff on this album is as catchy as it is straight and powerful. There are absolute no dull moments of mediocrity or uninspired garbage. Most important of all, there are no breakdown craps or and of that modern “core” rubbish. It’s all very manly, direct and ruthless. If you’re into extreme music and you don’t know about the likes of Doomsday Machine Schematic, then you have no idea what extreme music actually is. Track list includes some studio and some live versions.
