I\u2019ll probably get flayed, hung, drawn, quartered and, more gruesomely, trolled for liking this more than Massacre. Buy hey, we all have opinions, and for me Inhuman Condition\u2019s second full-length platter is full of gruesome goodies.<\/p>\n

Bolstered by the excellent artwork by Dan Goldsworthy, Fearsick<\/em> remains a juggernaut of a death metal outing showcasing the talents of former Massacre members Terry Butler (bass, Obituary \/ ex-Death \/ ex-Six Feet Under), Taylor Nordberg (guitar, The Absence \/ Deicide) and Jeramie Kling (vocals and drums, The Absence \/ Venom Inc. \/ Ex Deo).<\/p>\n

Now, while patterns may be at times familiar with Fearsick<\/em> I enjoy it for what it is \u2013 a solid lump of death metal with thrashy connotations. The reality is, bands such as this are not out there to reinvent the wheel.<\/p>\n

Kling\u2019s vocals are deep yet decipherable growls, and the music shifts tempo from frothing, aggressive spouts to very thrashy grooves; the prime example of this being \u2018Recycled Hate\u2019. However, there\u2019s never any case of sacrificing heaviness. Opener \u2018The Mold Testament\u2019 chugs nicely, as does \u2018I\u2019m Now The Monster\u2019 propelled by the effective drumming. Meanwhile, \u2018Fencewalker\u2019 with its sturdy rhythm that then steps up a gear or two, introduces an atmospheric passage strongly influenced by Massacre\u2019s classic 1991 debut album From Beyond<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is of course no real surprise that Massacre vapours should swirl around this opus, but it still remains an engaging old school death metal opus happy to retaliate with fast, belligerent explosion, like \u2018Caustic Vomit Reveries\u2019. But for me, it is the slower, suspenseful beginnings I adore before the tirades occur, like on \u2018King Con\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fearsick<\/em>, just like its predecessor Rat\u00b0God<\/em>, is clean, punchy and happy to revel in its traditional values whereby simplicity is key.<\/p>\n
