In 2006 Irish metaller’s Slave zero’s release ‘The pain remits’ (EP) received a thumping response/support from metal press worldwide.3 years down the line band releases its first full length album ‘Exempt from all tolerance’ an effort that furthermore reinstates their mature and solid musical progress.

The compositions are reverent of Death metal/Grind core and thrash. Two-way vocal attack throws in a hardcore/grindcore and growl overture throughout the record. This for some might be interesting and annoying for some. Drumming is very hard pressed/bush beaten and thrives the pace. The whole musical match looks like royal rumble in a wrestling ring as every musician tries creating a slam of its own & tries overpowering the other. Groove element is intact unlike the flat grind core biggies.Although I wished the guitar tone to be a bit heavier. This band is a perfect for the moshpit kids as the music progresses from heavy segments to crisp well tuned thrash trains and subsequently moving to breakovers which can twist a listener’s neck with ease. When I heard the first track ‘Exempt from all tolerance’ I never expected the album to grow over me so rapidly, but to my utter surprise it did courtesy….the experience it offers in terms of punkish nature, upbeat momentum and the unique ability to keep the listener on the edge.

Their support performance for Exodus, Hatebreed, Skinless, Cephallic carnage, Misery index, Abbadon Incarnate and Sanatorium is a super reflection of how closely their music follows these successful acts. Another unique parameter where Slave Zero score is track length, unlike the bands from their genre their songs provide musical totality. Tracks that got my maximum attention are.’ Antidote to suffering’, ‘Straight for jugular’ and ‘Vengeance.

Those of you into music ranging from Gojra, Abbadon incarnate, and Hatebreed to Misery Index shall applaud the effort. Rest of you can wait for their next release.
