Mindly Rotten - Proliferation Of Disaster
In a world where extreme music easily becomes overrun by the repeated process of being heavy, fast, and nasty, what possible room is there for Mindly Rotten? Well, 'Proliferation Of Disaster' is definitely proof of just how perfectionate the genre technical death metal can become defined.
The long intro track is nothing but a sample taken from the film known as The Jacket, which sets a creepy scene for the insanity that is to follow. It would be most difficult to describe just how technical Mindly Rotten truly are, yet at my best attempts there are similarities from more mainstream successful bands such as Beneath The Massacre, and Rings Of Saturn...but imagine them both playing a show together whilst on acid, and that is how you will find Mindly Rotten's sound.
Each track on this short, yet menacingly heavy album is absolutely crazy, it takes a few listens of each track to begin recognising the riffs because they're that speedy and deranged. At times the music seems drowned out and unappreciated because everything becomes just noise, yet the album is destined for extreme metal fans with the passion to enjoy such brutal songs. It's hard to say which track is which because for me there isn't anything that separates the variety too well, which is a good thing the album clocks in at a total of half an hour because it already sounds like one massive technical song.
It may seem like I'm bashing the band and album, but believe me when i say I actually love this record. There's no denying the unique skill behind the guitarists, as well as the intense drumming throughout. The vocalists grunting vocals may not be the most enjoyable at times, but suits the music in a way which no other vocal style could. Towards the end of the album we're given an instrumental track, 'Abysmal Delirium' where the members are just showing off, and damn right do they deserve to! Final track 'Humanity's Fall' proves to be one of the more favourable songs with its more thrash-riff based attack, as well as following the brutality from previous tracks.
