Cometh the
hour, cometh the band! From a humble working class background in Wakefield,
death grind outfit Masochist have risen and as time goes on and gigs go by they
convert more and more people into fans! Now Masochist have returned to UKEM
Records for their brand new EP release going by the name of "Condemned to
Grovel", five tracks of putrid extremity, sickening lyrics and brutal
noise! Opening track "Prologue to Prolapse" is a slow, menacing
beginning that casts an immediate dark and ravenous atmosphere before the quick
paced brutality of "Forced Fornication" can kick in! Even here though
for the most part Masochist slow down the pace and concentrate on crushing
simplicity as riffs, drums and bass unite to strike fear into the hearts of the
uninitiated whilst guttural vocals spew forth endless depravity and filth! This
flicking back and forth from sluggish riff fury to balls out fast paced carnage
showcases all of the weapons in the Masochist arsenal!
Adding a little humour
to proceedings the intro clip for "Vomit Every Dreg" comically states
"blood was dripping from his mouth, blood...blood...and bits of
sick", before another bout of putrid gore soaked abomination is delivered
with crippling sledge hammer like riffs, slow maniacal fury and more throat searing
vocals. If the previous tracks showed a willingness to be versatile and in some
ways thought provoking, "A Peeling Flesh" is the exception to the
rule and this punishing trap is nothing short of a pile-driver of fast riffs,
harsh vocals and the deep rumbling of well executed bass and drumming work! To
finish with Masochist unleash "Foetid Existence", a short track of
pummelling ferocity that brings proceedings to a swift, violent end! It's great
to see the return of Masochist and to see them with UKEM once more! Watch out
for more Yorkshire brutality in the near future!
