BENEATH THE MASSACRE - Evidence Of Inequity

BENEATH THE MASSACRE
Evidence Of Inequity
Galy Records - 2005
7/10




Grinding, insanely methodological death is what Beneath The Massacre offer up on “Evidence Of Inequity”, a blistering beating in the vein of Necrophagist. But in stark contrast to that highly technical outfit, Beneath The Massacre sport a vocalist, Elliot Desgagnes, that fits the style of music well, blending in with the chaotic foray as opposed to being disconnected.

Rarely does one find a group that is so tight, precise and able to meld together as a cohesive unit as this band does on the purely punishing “Comforting Prejudice.” Christopher Bradley embarks on a blazing solo here, but it’s somewhat hard to distinguish it as such as the band is traveling at light speed throughout the track. Drummer Justin Rousselle is an unstoppable death machine on “Totalitarian Hypnosis”, giving new meaning to the term hyperblast as bassist Dennis Bradley and his brother rage on the strings like a meth addict in an alcohol funny car.

Beneath The Massacre don’t leave out the weighty, crunching riffing either, giving Rousselle an opportunity to crush with severe force. The amazing scalar runs that introduce “Regurgitated Lullaby for the Borndead” are simply jaw dropping in the degree of mechanical aptitude and pure speed with which they are executed.

Check out this five song death machine for sure, but stand back from the speakers if you’d like to keep the skin on your face!
