Insision - Beneath The Folds Of Flesh
29th April 2002 Earache Records/Wicked World WICK 13CD
By Russell Garwood
Swedish band Insision (not to be confused with their fellow countrymen Incision) release their debut album for Earache on the 29th of April. Differing greatly from the majority of Stockholm's Death Metal crowd, Insision offer brutality and extremity above all else, priding themselves on their savage form of metal. With sporadic discords Beneath The Folds Of Flesh is, at times, reminiscent of its influences in the American Death scene. The production by Berno Paulsson is as clear as can be expected for such a violent record, highlighting the tight startstop riffing (a good example being opener World Impaled).
The guitar work and drumming are impressive, if slightly unoriginal - and the numerous blast beats and intense riffage build a sheer wall of sound. The vocals, like the rest of the music, are grating and extreme; a continuation of the established theme, and a less prominent bass blends in with the prevalent atmosphere. Lyrics such as World impaled, human race is erased, we are the waste/World impaled, as you crawl in your blood, Satan wins show originality is not high on Insisions list of priorities.
As can often happen with such an un-relenting onslaught, Beneath The Folds Of Flesh can become monotonous, and while Insision isnt really to my taste, it is a must for anyone who loves brutal metal or longs for the Death of ten years ago
