Five years after their hilariously titled debut full-length Seasonings In The Abyss<\/em>, and 2022 follow up Gallery Of Skewered Swine<\/em>, Davenport, Iowa-based duo Pit Lord returns with more barbeque obsessed death metal.<\/p>\n

With a take on the title of Dismember\u2019s 1995 album Massive Killing Capacity<\/em>, this 11 track heap is very much goofy grind from the overcooked side of novelty extreme metal. Having said that, Pit Lord knows how to provide riffs that are chunkier than the rear end of a giant hog.<\/p>\n

Musically and vocally it\u2019s not as bad as you might expect, although lyrically songs such as \u2019Mandatory Burgercide\u2019, \u2018Done As Shit\u2019 and \u2018Chili\u2019s Baby-Back Ribs\u2019 leave a lot to be desired. Even so, Massive Grilling Capacity<\/em> is a solid death metal album and songs such as \u2018Meat Cup\u2019 chug with a real intensity as the vocals channel an early 90s chop.<\/p>\n

You can expect the usual flurries of speed alongside meatier mid-tempo malevolence. \u2018Baby Griller\u2019, for example, is an absolute beast with its churning chords, as is \u2018Kings Of The Carnivorous Creation\u2019, and while the duo doesn\u2019t necessarily resort to grindcore there are plenty of borderline blast beats to contend with.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be more than happy if Pit Lord steered clear of the food-related samples and lyrics for the sake of becoming a serious death metal act. They\u2019ve certainly got the chops… and I don\u2019t mean pork.<\/p>\n
