RECKLESS MANSLAUGHTER – sinking into filth CD

The pulverizing 4th full-length by this German band. Summoned in North Rhine-Westphalia in November 2008, the walking corpse known as Reckless Manslaughter is living proof that death has many faces, covering all tempo variations and unaware of trends or conventions, all the while maintaining a core personality of their very own. To descend into the nether regions where these Death Metal acolytes dwell is to be left to fester in a desolate and fathomless realm whose landscape is filled to the brim with violent blasts, crushing mid-tempo sections, gloomy doom-ish parts and atrocious growls, rounded off with a sprinkling of eerie Finnish melodies. Reckless Manslaughter are nothing if not dependable, and across their three full-lengths to date the Germans have proudly upheld the banner of pure and total Death Metal. And thankfully, they show no signs of letting down that banner with their new opus, „Sinking into Filth“. Like its album predecessors, „Sinking into Filth“ is all too accurately titled, with wave after wave of world-eating riff and vocal swallowing the listener whole. Reckless Manslaughter here exude a uniquely „gloomy bounce“ in their stridently surging songcraft; the energy is felt in full -usually, in the listener’s chest cavity- but a paradoxically sorrowful sensation is intertwined into these judiciously compact compositions. What results is something both hypnotizing and heavy, in all senses of the world. Or, simply, this filth is fucking huge. The climax comes with the closing 10-minute epic „Risen from the Mass Grave“, which literally sounds like its title. Need more hints? Just check out the cover art, courtesy of Lucas Korte. Maniacs of Bolt Thrower, Demigod, Benediction and Asphyx should already be familiar with Reckless Manslaughter. Those who aren’t are encouraged to begin „Sinking into Filth“. Expect nothing but utter annihilation and uncompromising, underground-worshipping Metal of Death!
