The Review:
Not
so much smashing through the gates, as ripping them off the hinges and eating
them, Rotten
Sound have unleashed their new noise abomination, “Abuse to Suffer”, and it's a doozie!
I
love me some D-Beat style metal, as it's violent, ADD filled energy, and laden
full of groove to boot; Rotten Sound have brought all that, but managed to eat all
the chips, get into a fist fight, get lost, and bring several questionable
stains into your domicile, while asking “where are all the fucking beers at”.
I love this sound, blasted at me as it is and these guys play relentlessly on
this album throughout. I can't imagine what they do to a live room, and thank
god I don't clean up.
For
fans of the albums “Wolverine Blues”
(Entombed)
and “Live the Storm! (Disfear),
Rotten Sound
combine grind and D Beat, and have wrought a tangled miasma of
noise, violence, and pure abrasive groove into the world. “Abuse to Suffer” takes less time to play than going out for a smoke
break, and drags you along the asphalt as it does, with tunes like “Caged” pounding you like a tent stake, “Lazy Asses” which opens like a Venus
fly trap made of broken glass, the guitars riffing with hammer-like power, tracks
speeding along at sub minute lengths, with signature ripped out vocals flaying
the ear drums while the aforementioned broken glass just rips out your
spleen. Rotten Sound will bludgeon you
and then bury the evidence.
“Time for the Fix” is an absolute meat
grinder, the aggressively low vocals, mesh well with a very evil gravel squeal,
leaving road rash inside your ear canals. The album hurtles along as such speed,
leaving little time to file charges for the beating you’ve endured, concluding
with album closer “Extortion and
Blackmail”, slowing things down, just enough to catch your breathe until
the track bleeds out, concluding this aural masochistic nightmare.
“Abuse to Suffer” is an absolute banger of
an album, that flat out runs you down
like a T-1000 (and with the same dashing good looks), it is an album for the wild soul looking to get ripped apart, and
Rotten Sound
have their abuse sharpened to a rusty point, just for you.
