### Infinite Defilement: Promo 2008

#### 03/04/09 || The Duff

You know, when it all comes down to it, musically, I’m very easy to please; if you’re not a terribly gifted musician, then all you have to do to fondle my testes is play death metal. I fucken loves me some death metal, and chances are you don’t even have to play it well to get on my good side. A good example (not that they’re an unprofessional outfit) would be with Behemoth’s latest new track, entitled “Qadosh”; really quite boring, but the blasts (are there blasts? I can’t remember), brutality, halfway decent attempt at some evil attitude and a lil’ groove here and there is still all that it takes – despite how lazily written such things can be, they often make me bend over and part like the Red Sea.

Infinite Defilement, therefore, would have to be very bad, or at most trying very hard to disappoint me, a band that exhibits direly poor musicianship, very basic groove (if any groove at all – these guys have an odd sense of timing, and rarely do drummer and the rest of the band lock in) and basically riffs that were a dime a dozen as far back as when we were breaking rocks and masturbating into the ground, played ad nausea with nary an interesting arrangement.

The opening track is a complete write-off, the two charming elements being the soundbit at the beginning and the double-kick work at the very end. The riffs don’t run on at all from each other, and are entirely non-enthralling (this is not helped by the spastic drumming) – I wouldn’t mind them so much if they didn’t lead on to an horrific piss-take of a breakdown; a number of times the band slows it down, but because of the complete lack of chemistry between band members (notably the drummer and everybody else), even the best moments sound like the equivalent of my bedraggled testicles brushing against your lips.

The first time throughout the entire demo I start to think they got it down is a minute and a half through the third track, where the riff is pretty decent and the drums finally work to enhance the effect – even the blasts sound well executed; but then, unfortunately, the next riff kicks in and we’re left with the glaring inadequacies within the band’s experience. This is the best track on the album, but some real quality riffs (see about two minutes fifty seconds in) are ruined by lazy at the best of times, downright insultingly intrusive at the worst percussion. To make matters most unfortunate for the band, however, is that anything that does make this semi-worthwhile is almost immediately deadened by repetition, and a very pedestrian manner of arranging a track.

The vocals are what we would consider a waste of time here at the greatest site within your favourites list alongside “Young, Dumb and Full of Cum” and “Granny Got Back”; kinda like a down-graded Devourment, or something, piggy-squeals and all – you can’t make out what the guy is saying, basically, it’s so guttural. Many vocalists in death metal sing like this, so it’s not to knock the fella, but he ventures nowhere else – no range, no excitement, nothing new; whereas most will have it placed within an arsenal of grunts, snarls and constipated shrieks, this guy is like a sterile, two-legged one trick pony with a two inch cock trying to mount Black Beauty’s fine behind, the two legs it does have being at the front end of the body and with joints that dislocate easily.

To give the guy credit, his vocal styling belongs very well in the final track, another one of the demo’s highpoints – Infinite Defilement do have the ability to impress, but you have to persevere beyond the halfway mark, and even then don’t hope they feel like they owe you anything – what they’re doing trying to measure up against today’s scene escapes me completely, and I would recommend you don’t give this any time.

Well fuck me, it’s all one guy from Australia; even less excusable – the fuck can you not keep rhythm with yourself?
