Danish \/ Turkish outfit Hyperdontia may not be happy with me calling them a \u201creliable\u201d death metal act, but that\u2019s exactly what they have become. You\u2019ll hear better albums than this but Hyperdontia are a consistent brood that provides solid death metal that does exactly what is inscribed on the coffin lid.<\/p>\n

As yet I\u2019m still to hear the combo shift out of their comfort zone, whereas bands such as Tomb Mold has spattered their darker shades with colour. Even so, Harvest Of Malevolence<\/em>, Hyperdontia\u2019s third full-length, is a crushing release that will no doubt stir the soupy depths of the underground. The deep, churning macabre mobility expressed throughout this opus showcases what we already know in that Hyperdontia carves out massive chunks of grisly doom which usually slip into a chilling slurry of horror.<\/p>\n

\u2018Defame Flesh\u2019 follows such a route, its opening a colossal dirge before the riffs become skittish forays of blustery bludgeoning. \u2018Pervasive Rot\u2019 begins with an aching melody streaked with the expected guttural coughs, but at the one minute mark the riffs chug with such a squalid horror. Blackened pace is never far away as the melody drifts and swirls like a cold vapour. Meanwhile, \u2018Servant To A Cripple God\u2019 brings extra sweeping pace; a tirade of percussion amidst the grim waves of the snaking riffs.<\/p>\n

Hyperdontia doesn\u2019t rely on any sort of unorthodox measure. Instead, each song, ranging from \u2018Irrevocable Disaster\u2019 to \u2018Pestering Lamentations\u2019, exists as a rather balanced but, dare I say, restrained torrent. To an extent the garish cover art doesn\u2019t match the music within, which is essentially no frills death metal that is both fleshy and bulbous but often lacking variety even when the cauldron of gloop is stirred.<\/p>\n

If I was in a band I wouldn\u2019t want my fans to describe my music as consistent and reliable, but that\u2019s exactly what Hyperdontia have become. There\u2019s nothing wrong with those qualities, I just expected more bite this time round. Nevertheless, Hyperdontia remains a wholesome meal.<\/p>\n
