Kill The Client: Escalation of hostility
09/04/08 || Kampfar
The computer I write this very review on (if not dying on me before finished) came with a birth defect, namely a dysfunctional soundcard. It made me pissed, life shortening furious and ballistic, on the brink of kicking the whole shebang (read: computer) into tiny little pieces. Today I had the utter displeasure of experiencing something akin, for this day brought me a PS3 with fucking downs, its brain damage preventing it from sucking in discs. So, no GT 5 Prologue for me.
I of course bought it over the net, and now I’m very pissed.
Yeah, I’m fucking rambling on, as usual, but furious is a perfect state to be in if you want to fully enjoy the spectacular spetakkel Kill The Client dish up with. Safe to say Sony’s uselessness put me there. So, I’m not out of context as cock in lesbian porn. Not this time either.
“Escalation of hostility” is, not at all unlike “Wage slave”, their debut (EP), a full frontal attack of buzz saw grind. Well, almost. You see, this being a full-length and all, at least in grind terms, called for some variation. Or so the furious Americans thought, evidence being “Killing fields” and “Negative one”. I see the logic in doing this, really do, but “Killing fields”, the one placed in the middle, ruins the flow, and the ender is like very boring; both simply too long, as no woman besides a lesbian nun would have put it.
If they had deleted “Negative one” and instead used “Killing fields” as a goodbye I would have been a slightly less sour Kampfar.
That aside, their fury is ever impressive, so impressive I predict them here fuckos will either die of heart failure or in a fashion explicitly gory. This rings true for all but the two mentioned sludgers, but I find the songwriting, more like bile spewing, better before the flow crusher appears. Like, not just seeing red but putting in some chewy riffs as well.
I recommend “Escalation of hostility” to all hungry for genuine hatred, but “Wageslave” more so.
7,5 depressed worker ants out of 10.
