But, if you\u2019re brave enough to withstand some of the most violent, thrashing fastest grind obscenity, then you need this album in your life. <\/p>\n<p>For those who\u2019ve yet to be sonically murdered by this wretched band, The Kill are an Australian gang which has existed since 2000. Over the years, The Kill has been involved in several split projects, and then in 2012 released its full-length debut <em>Make \u2019Em Suffer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>All I can really say about this destructive cluster of reprobates is that they play really hurtful and ultra-fast violent thrash \/ grind that is channelled through a veritable feast of two-minute brain pulverisers which are made all the more furious by the astonishing vocal barrages of Nik. To say that this band doesn\u2019t hold back is an understatement; I find the whole racket rather entertaining, and yet couldn\u2019t imagine such a frenzied attack live \u2013 surely the stage would collapse and the fans would be resorted to mulch after their craniums had exploded. <\/p>\n<p><em>Kill Them &#8230;All<\/em> offers up 19 blasts of anger, fury and speeding insults with nary a tune in sight, but I\u2019m sure if you remain patient enough you\u2019ll find a few extreme melodies within this frightening expression of violence. To put it simply, The Kill is just one ferocious band serving up some of the fastest extreme metal I\u2019ve heard over the last century. How on earth skin thrasher Jay manages to hammer out such apocalyptic blasts is beyond me, and I\u2019d love to see the fingers of guitarist Roby just to make sure he actually has any left. <\/p>\n<p>And so the songs come thick and very, very fast \u2013 the longest being opener \u2018Insults\u2019 which, through its chaos, is actually quite humorous lyrically as Nik vomits such poetic masterpieces as <em>\u201cYou fucking dog, Ratbastard, Dirty weasel, Low-life snake, Filthy pig, Fucking dog cunt, Fucking pig scum\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>So, after working his way through a bestial tapestry of hate the band comes pummelling again with the snippet \u2018Instant Fighter\u2019, which seems to make fun of muscle-bound gym freaks amidst a blitzkrieg of raging guitars and thrashing primal drums. And that\u2019s pretty much the theme throughout; utter chaos in the musical department and violent shouts on the vocal front, and some funny lyrics splattered all over the shop. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Heavy Metal Professional\u2019, \u2018Holiday\u2019s Over\u2019, \u2018Public Execution\u2019, \u2018Evil Dead\u2019 etc., etc. all hint at that foaming hardcore punk sadism and with varying topics coating Nik\u2019s venomous tongue and even a sped up version of Anthrax\u2019s \u2018Metal Thrashing Mad\u2019, The Kill\u2019s latest lesson in anger mismanagement is a simple joy of playing fast and digging tongue firmly in cheek. Twenty-seven minutes has never been so audibly painful!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neil Arnold<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE KILLKill Them &#8230;All Blastasfuk Grindcore (2015)Rating: 7\/10 I\u2019m still recovering from listening this opus full blast, and realise I was a fool to crank up the volume so high.
