Recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Michael Richards at Dublin\u2019s Trackmix, one man Irish band Necrokinesis \u2013 the brainchild of Adrian Foley \u2013 knuckles down for a second full-length album.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know Necrokinesis then I highly recommend A Force Made Flesh<\/em> if you like the mix of death and thrash metal. This opus comes equipped with eight tracks which have a strong Teutonic thrash aggression. The razor riffs coupled with the vocal rasps are not a world away from latter day Sodom, Destruction<\/a> etc. \u2013 scorching thrash but with a sniping edge. It\u2019s more so of contemporary design with vintage flashes, but my favourite tracks on offer are the slower, menacing cuts.<\/p>\n

\u2018Atonement\u2019 is a mid-tempo chugger boasting a crushing riff and \u2018The Hellbound Heart\u2019 is equally monstrous in its weighty groove. A few of the faster tracks take more time to get into admittedly, but there is always plenty of variety within the steely folds of each song; for example, the interesting subtle changes in \u2018The God You Kneel To\u2019 and the persistent yet unusual melodies of moody instrumental \u2018Long Cold Dark\u2019.<\/p>\n

A Force Made Flesh<\/em> has such a brooding vibe throughout, even with the faster barrages of \u2018Skin Them Alive\u2019. In a sense, this is an extreme metal album that has everything; speed, catchiness, mood, atmosphere, aggression and mid-tempo execution.<\/p>\n

Considering all the hype bands like Acid Reign, Xentrix and even Evile have received, it\u2019s Necrokinesis who stand out from the crowd because this is precise, snarling thrash trying to inject something different and Adrian Foley should be commended on how he has fused together the melancholic with the moshing!.<\/p>\n
