The Review:
Fearsome Minneapolis
“Carrion” and “Hyperalgesia”
find the band in deadly form conveying their hatred of humanity via nasty,
primal doom. On previous releases the band have sometimes utilised moments of
quiet in amongst the carnage to create an air of menace. “Mankind Is Carrion, Fit For Nothing” sees No Funeral go straight for the
jugular with an unrelenting onslaught of volume and bile aided by a red raw
production by Dinis deCarvalho.
“Carrion” is a punishing experience,
eight minutes of slow-motion torment consisting of bleak riffs and the bands
harrowing dual vocal attack. A brief burst of crusty sludge raises the tempo
above a crawl before crashing back into the abyss once more. “Hyperalgesia” continues the drudgery
culminating in a series of dark samples, an effective No Funeral trademark.
The EP is
rounded off with a gloriously torturous cover of Black Flag’s “My War”. No Funeral take the miserable
dirge of side 2 of the “My War” LP and
apply it to the high octane punk of the title track to create a harrowing doom
masterpiece.
“Mankind Is Carrion, Fit For Nothing” is another great offering
from this excellent band. Hopefully a full-length slab of
filth will see the light of day before the end of 2018.
