APRIL 7, 2008 Ravaged Lands : GRINS FROM BELOW, BY: RAVENWOLF

Link

Ya know, its really hard not to like Torrid Flesh. Specially If you are a brutalizing murdering bastard, in that case, this shit is like Beethoven to you. I remember reviewing "Chain of Command" last year, and I remember that shit was HEAVY. So as I got "Ravaged Lands" to review, I made sure first to put my chick’s pet hamster away. Shit, I made sure to put my CHICK away. So with all easily susceptible to death living beings having been put away, I can finally begin the festivities. You’ll be glad to know that Torrid Flesh is still registered as a nuclear threat assault weapon. Holly Brannan has got a voice that Satan himself would probably say "wow…that’s BALLS!". The thing that really fucking gets me, is that there are some fucking good thrash rhythms going all around. From the bass opening of Ravaged lands, including a solo, to F.F.P.O.S., blast beats are a plenty and guitars are shredding at the compass of a demoniac voice. And it pays to keep your eyes peeled, like, "Hieroglyphic Corpse", wasn’t my favorite track to be honest, until his fucking KICKASS riff goes in at around the 4 minute mark. If you don’t start to head bang here, you obviously have a soul you need to sell at a cheap price, pronto!!

Great recommendation, death, thrash, if you head bang and like your shit hard and heavy, get this, you wont regret it.

There are occasions when the name of the band just suits them. After giving a listen to Torrid Flesh, and a look at the searing flesh on a man on their album cover, i can say these guys go ahead and completely make good on their moniker! Headlined by husband and wife, Mike and Holly Brannan, these guys are a sick, sick death metal outfit. Listen to the opening of the first song, "Lycanthrope", and lemme know if you don’t start feeling blood flowing out of your eardrums. Holly is a beast on vocals, putting so many men to shame, the guitars are fast as hell, and the double bass drums keeps pounding over and over trough the entire record, as if life depended on it. For hardcore, sick mofo's, Torrid Flesh's brand of death/trash metal is designed for pure, unadulterated mayhem. the title track, "Murder 13", and 'Sinner's fate" are examples that sometimes music should be registered as illegal weapons. Props to Torrid Flesh and their bludgeoning work.

Holy Shit, now this is Death Metal! Denver, Co.'s Torrid Flesh deliver one helluva DM ass-kicking with their awesome, mind melting blend of vintage Cannibal Corpse, Malevolent Creation and Vader. Featuring perhaps metal's only Husband and Wife duo (with the Missus on vocals!!!), as an added touch of bizzare-ness. And speaking of the Vocals, might I say that these are some of the sickest i've heard in a long, long, time. How do I spell Brutal? T-O-R-R-I-D F-L-E-S-H, thats how! Fucking unbelievable. Cough up the dough, posers... Its time to Buy or Die! :) -NP
