### Corroosion: Dirt awareness

#### 10/09/12 || Pr0nogo

Yet another band to shit on my doorstep (which I don’t have because I’m in a fucking apartment), Corroosion decided to release more music in the form of a full-length album called “Dirt awareness”. I don’t know why they decided to do that, but they did. This band is a five-piece belonging to the deathcore subgenre – straight out of Italy, like my last fuckin’ stub – and one of their band members is known only as “AnD”. And what? And shit. That’s what. Fuck. Anyways, I had to sit through this fifty-three minute long full length, but I could have just listened to ten minutes of it and I’d have had the same verdict.

Now, hear me out – not all deathcore is like this. There are some bands that are actually fun to listen to (Wretched in particular comes to mind), despite their genre label. Unfortunately for me (and for Corroosion, I guess, though maybe they like being mediocre), that is not the case with these Italians. Half of the vocals are just screamed at random with no sense of melody or underlying structure; this is cool in thrash metal, I guess, but even then the vocalist usually isn’t trying to scream while the lead guitarist or whatever he is tries to do a solo (spoiler: they both fail). Just about the only thing Corroosion has going for itself is that its roots were in death/thrash, like Legion of the Damned style (something I can dig), but the only redeemable aspect of this full-length is its heaviness.

You have every instrument going full blast, with either slow as fuck breakdowns or a pummeling double-bass with the constant chugga chugga choo choo train that is the guitar (this band actually has two guitarists, and a bassist, but I only counted like two band members when I listened so whatever). The vocals screeching and growling this way and that only add to the mess that can in no way be called a “mix”. That being said, as a purely-heavy listen, “Dirt awareness” succeeds; but as a musical endeavour…

5/10: It bounces violently off the pavement. A step above boring, several steps below something I’d ever try to listen to again. Also, why does it have electronic effects?
