Bristol's Body
Harvest have unleashed their debut album "Futile Creation" through
Grindhouse Music, ten tracks of punishing death metal fury! Opening track
"Sadistic Existence" kicks in with some horror flick ambiance and
crushing riff based savagery as the band kick things into gear with a
cautiously paced intro leading to flat out aggression channelled through the
thunderous drum beats and rumbling bass lines of Chris Barton and Alex Manghan
respectively. With a sound lodged firmly in the camp of early 90's US death
metal, Body Harvest nail their colours to the mast early on and never once do
they deviate! Personally I'm
more of a fan of the slower, more brooding Stockholm style of death metal and
whilst I find this Cannibal Corpse inspired death metal a little cliched and
flat, there can be no doubt that Body Harvest bring to the table a sense of
raw, urgent intensity!
For the most
part each song is a short sharp shock of brutal, hostile death metal power but
consequently I found the lack of variation dragging heavily against what I'd
choose to listen too. However as tracks such as "Condemned to Suffer"
and "Failed Oppressor" so rampantly demonstrate, Body Harvest are a
band who know their instruments well and play with a confidence and certainty
that makes their ravenous flurries of break neck riffing a worthy experience! In all honesty
if standard US inspired Death Metal is your thing then Body Harvest are going
to be right up your street. For me though whilst technically a very talented
band there is little effort being put into the song writing and as an end
result "Futile Creation" is a processional slab of one dimensional
extremity!
