Dying fetus has always been a force that beats your earphones with rampaging speed, towering riffs, twisty leads, and cocained grooves. Time to analyze what John Gallagher and boys have to offer post stupendously well received last outing ‘Stop at nothing’.
Their breed of death metal has always been non-regular DM pepper; ‘ War Of Attrition’ isn’t much different from other records. The significant change on this record is a very frequent groove progression. It gets awkward sometimes to comprehend, as gear change doesn’t typically look mechanical and at times seems too-programmed. Nevertheless die-hards will still appreciate vibe and flair, as the riffs are junk, blubber, cantilever and mean in composition. ‘Parasites of catastrophe’ the second last track shows colors of hurricane and offers all things brutal squeezed to the size of your thumb, at the final corner. Similarly last track ‘Obsolete determination’ makes you forget the hellish anger on ‘Pissing on the mainstream’ from 2000’s ‘Destroy the opposition’, another significant character on this song along with track 2 ‘Fate of the condemned’ is methodology of mathematical groove pattern which can be strongly compared to ‘Praise the lord’ again from ‘Destroy the opposition’.
Ask me the reason why I put only a couple of songs nose to nose from this record with the two from ‘Destroy The Opposition’? Answer to this lies in the fact that ‘Destroy the opposition’ is s a benchmark in DF legacy and praised evaluation of two of the best from ‘War of attrition’ is a proof of the might DF have displayed on the album.
Monster’s mouth has opened, run before you get swallowed.
