You can’t fuck with a bit of Bestial Mockery and this is a welcome trip back to the band’s first full-fledged album assault in 2002. Originally released on limited print CD and splatter vinyl by Metal Blood Music it’s great to get reacquainted with a classic by the now defunct Swedish destroyers. In their time they released plenty of split EP’s but it was probably 2006 ‘Gospels Of The Insane’ whereby members of the band actually went mad, that they really began to get notoriety. They then killed bassist Devilpig on stage and split up with a parting fuck you shot of ‘Slaying The Life’ in 2007. This particular declaration was described by vocalist Master Motorsåg to me at the time as their “suicide bombing against this cursed mundane hell-hole Earth and also against the weak so-called Black Metal scene. We will not rest in peace we will rest in WAR,” he added before he popped off back into his bunker.
This sickening exercise in rotten black thrash does not hang about in the slightest as it literally spews out 10 numbers in under 30 minutes. ‘Bestial Warfare’ is the first and it rages away with guitars strumming furiously and the vocals glistening with hoary warlust. This has a necrotic punk bass bombast about it as well as a whiplash guitar solo all belted out in a matter of minutes. The production here is not as gnarly as one might expect with everything nice and clear in the mix, there is no mention of any re-mastering and I doubt that was even considered, there is however some nice new cover-art courtesy of Chris Moyen. Song titles here are about as subtle as a nuke, ‘Bestial Satanic Sacrifice’ is launched with a fetid blasting power behind it and it romps away like Discharge buttfucking Venom. As for ‘Warfuck’ well it starts with a bombing salvo and then hurls into a musical maelstrom of violent riffs and howling vocals.
With the album title in mind we are not let down, as all of a sudden during ‘Morbid Invertation’ the sound of a chainsaw revving up whirs out the mix loud enough for me to virtually soil myself on first listen. A death grunt and more punk beats later and it is back again no doubt causing more than mere musical carnage. With an unholy groove about ‘Raise The Chalice’ the true communion is no doubt a bloody one as the song gets in your head rather than actually cutting it off, never mind not long to wait before that chainsaw again! There’s a very good chance that the world is going to end soon and unless you have a bunker of your own to hide in you are fucked. This album won’t prevent your demise but it might, with vast quantities of alcohol just soften the blow!
