"Knife to the gut. Gun to the head. Axe to the neck. Dead." Such concludes
the well devised "Knife Gun Axe" track basically spelling out all anyone
needs to know about the new Six Feet Under record-they ain't takin'
no prisoners so stay the fuck out of their way! Crushing is perhaps
the polite way to put what "True Carnage" is all about. for any more
severe description, one need only skim the pages of the insert booklet-in
a well-lit room of course. Their fourth full length is an exercise in
putridity in the finest Corpse-like tradition, something they got a
little away from on a few of their gratuitously ghoulish past works,
no less severe, simply not quite as wrenching as this one. A bitter
taste first forms in your mouth-moments before the foam starts spewing-right
from the sinister opening grind of "Impulse to Disembowel," and early
on we find Barnes' growl in fine form, bark and bite on parallel levels
of intensity. SFU has launched an all out campaign against their Death
Metal peers with this one-a bloody reunification between band, lyrics
and song, driven by anger fed destruction-a head twisting convulsive
action that makes full use of blinding speed, indecipherable noise crossbred
with Demonic lust, a savage beating bore of contempt-role-playing butchers
who'll have their say at the cost of more than a few lives. "One Bullet
Left" will be the one cynics will jump on, featuring the vocal "talents"
of Ice-T, never short on opinions or a variety of F-words, featuring
a chiseling riff to both carry the tune as well as the remains of the
bodies after all's said and done, where much like the rest, amounts
to little else than "True Carnage." A horrific return to the "Haunted"
days when pain and sickness devoured a still sound mind unknowing of
what was waiting in the dark.also features CD-Rom bonus video for "The
Day The Dead Walked," as if listening and losing ten years off your
life wasn't enough, welcome to your future.
