SICK REVIEWS

Strangulation-Violence in Degraded Mindset (Self-Released)

Japan strikes again this fucking year with another radioactive fucking beast coming to spit its infection with a first brutal fucking effort entitled "Violence in Degraded Mindset"! Strangulation is launching a debut EP of 4 fucking tracks, including an intro/instrumental one, and the band manage to create some blastastic fucking musick without a single boring song! This is some great and pure Brutal Death Fucking Metal mixing very well blasting moments with the heavy ones and offering around 12 fucking minutes of total fucking destruction! "Violence in Degraded Mindset" have everything to please without being perfect by including some useless fucking riffings and a few ones very boring and overused in the shitty genre! Strangulation is a quartet consisting of Shuhei Yoshida (Vocals), Tomonori Inahara (Guitars), Kani Saibo (Bass) and Temma Takahata (Drums)! The sickos are offering a great composition in general with a brilliant fucking performance!  Drums are fucking brutal and diverse, bass is present and giving some amazing moments, guitar is fucking enjoying with several catchy parts despite a few annoying ones and finally, the vocals is fucking good but perhaps a little bit redundant after a while but still fucking brutal as fuck! Strangulation clearly doesnt reinvent the genre but offers an effective and brutal fucking musick being addictive and fucking well done in much aspects! The production is fucking perfect with an excellent mixing and this fucking shit really sounds like a bunch of fucking humans infected by this radioactive brutality and beating each others! "Violence in Degraded Mindset" is not perfect but give us an enjoyable brutal fucking moment and Strangulation is now, for sure, making part of the best fucking acts to have ever emerged from Japan! Cold Fucking Piece of Raw Fucking Sickness! 9/10
