Internal Bleeding- Settle All Scores Review

By Alekhines Gun

Few bands influence outshine their immediate popularity as much as Internal Bleeding. The founding fathers of slam, the lynch pins of New Yawk style thuggin and brawling, have been a pivotal DNA strain of death metal since debut Voracious Contempt spat in the face of human decency back in 1995. But the years have been as gritty to the band as their music, with infamous production issues, perpetual lineup shuffles, and tragic deaths littering their storied careers. The band have remained unbroken, and now seven years later have returned with a semi-reconstructed lineup, a new label, and a new album in tow. Has the passage of time dulled their edge, or will the Long Island boys successfully reduce your organs to leakage?

First things first, this is the best Internal Bleeding have ever sounded. The move to Maggot Stomp seems to have been an inspired choice, shedding the somewhat polished Unique Leader production in favor of a sound which, while not quite as slime-covered as the more prestigious of the maggot roster, is much more visceral and immediate in its filth. Settle All Scores sounds meaty and full, clearly articulating the entire band while they lob brass knuckle-clad grooves and bops at you from top to bottom. The guitar tone combines razor-edge immediacy with a thick enough backbone to provide the barbed wire to requisite drops (“Crown of Insignificance”, “Enforced Compliance”) with Ryan Giordano’s bass thunking away and given the occasional spotlights reminiscent of The Extinction of Benevolence. While the bands live power has never been in doubt, it’s refreshing to finally hear a record which translates into something equally thuggish and barbaric.

Compositionally, Settle All Scores slots nicely between the vaguely melodic progressivisms of Corrupting Influence with the brute-force straightforwardness of Driven to Conquer. While obviously taking the time to slam, the album feels more like it flirts with brutal death proper. Kickoff track “Intangible Pact” tinkers with intense tempos while band founder Chris Pervelis and second guitarist/backup vocalist/insatiable hypeman Chris McCarthy present some of the most convoluted triplet-laced scales in the bands discography. Internal Bleeding play heavily with tempo and octave shifting, with songs like “Settle All Scores” offering a funky slam which sounds ready to brawl with a smile before dropping it several intervals and giving the same intonation an extra dose of menace. The 80s-sounding solos from Corrupting Influence make a triumphant return, though not with the frequency that I might have wished. They add a unique flavor to a hodgepodge of constantly crushing riffs, with the next beat-down tempo change and word vomit from new vocalist1 Steve Worley never far behind. Consequently, this is an album that seeks to violate and brutalize at every turn, but does so with class and flair of elder statesmen without devolving into the overblown caveman tropes much of slam has deteriorated into.

The final result leaves Internal Bleeding sounding more energetic and vibrant than they have in decades. Settle All Scores oozes exuberance and enthusiasm, sounding very much like a living and breathing album more than a mere collection of tracks. The sheer kinesis from the performances on display carry “live album” vibes, with each cut diving in with a charisma that can only be honed from decades of touring and live shows to crowds great and small.2 Bolstered by a litany of guest vocalist appearances from Skinless, PeelingFlesh, Never Ending Game, and three former vocalists of their own, the band stand at the peak of their game technically, compositionally, and performatively. Settle All Scores doesn’t swing for the progressive tendencies of Imperium, which might disappoint some fans. But the push to increase the sheer brutality on display means such disappointment shouldn’t ruin the experience, as this release comes with its own flavor and stands high in the overall discography of the slam peddlers.

Settle All Scores is a triumphant return, and one that I hope spells a brighter future for Internal Bleeding. An excellent production, well-honed compositional touches, and manic delivery have allowed the bourbon-swilling, cigar-chomping vets to remind everybody who they are and why they matter. If you’re new to the band, this is as excellent a jumping-off point as any in their discography, and if you’ve been pining for their breed of bar-fight anthems, there’s no reason why you’ll be disappointed. Now go get your own scoresheet, your favorite barb-wire bat, and let the tallying unfold…

Symphobia – Hideously Traumatic Review

By Alekhines Gun

Another day, another fresh debut by a slab of young hopefuls. Today’s offering comes by way of Indonesia in the form of trio Symphobia, dropping their first LP Hideously Traumatic after a sole self-titled demo the year before. At a concise two songs and sporting some charmingly ghoulish artwork, that demo was a vile little slab of promising violence, which leaned more into the modern slam trappings of Submerged than the usual brutal death proper Indonesia is known for. No member turnover and a short gap between releases imply a band with a musical vision and an eagerness to slot themselves into the next generation of woe-bringers; do they offer enough to get you back to therapy?

Symphobia have crafted a monument to brutal death of all varieties and walks of life. Trimming down the more overt slam clichés in the production of their demo (particularly the outlandish ping-pong snare) allows for a more matured1 take, walking a tightrope between solid deathly compositions and neanderthalic bludgeoning. Vocalist Jossi Bima does a dead ringer of an Angel Ochoa impression, but a talent for vocal phrasing (and vocal silence) means he actually adds to the percussive oomph of the riffs. (“Scattered”, “Convulsively”) Humam Aliy is a beast on the drums, working a limited set of ingredients into a well-concocted aural meal, with excellently placed sixteenth-note fills and masterfully selected double bass to give the illusion of dynamics and pacing even as the whole of the album never really lets up. The bass2 consistently makes itself felt with shreddage and twangy highlights, adding girth to an absolute smorgasbord of riffs.

Much like waves add texture to an otherwise flat and bland ocean, Hideously Truamatic offers a sense of the nuanced differences in brutal death strains of DNA to add personality to what threatens to be an overly homogenous listen. Do you like Misery Index? “Convulsively” has you covered. Do you think War of Attrition is the best Dying Fetus album?3 “Heinous” sports a riff worthy of a lost B-side from that era. The fingerprints of Pathology, Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, modern Pyrexia, and Cephalotripsy permeate the album, with the glue from highlight to highlight running through the eternal assault of …And Time Begins era Decrepit Birth. While Symphobia begin in familiar form, each time you think you’ve heard the best the album has to offer, the next song manages to come out swinging with a steel chair to top whatever offensive groove or thunderous breakdown came before it. Dodik Bhre offers up one riff-craft lesson after another, with a surprising emphasis on the occasional trebly runs instead of all-bass-all-bottom-end tropes. Songs like “Scattered” and “Abominable” stretch beyond the typical haze of blast beats and powerchord abuse, touching on the most straightforward moments of Defeated Sanity while lurching into a Disgorge-ian sense of mercilessness.

The only negative on such a balls-out assault of this caliber is a common one: the shadow of ones peers. Symphobia have grasped the ingredients of what makes all these other bands great, and distilled their essence into a blender of an album where the listener is tossed in to get slapped in the face with one meaty chunk after another. However, Hideously Traumatic comes across as a highlight reel of various stylings without forming into a cohesive identity for the band themselves. This is a love letter to the foulest and most pit-inducing of aural violence, and the letter is written in excellent handwriting and high-quality paper. I believe the best is yet to come, however, and if they can master the art of wielding their influences into a distinct final offering rather than being a mega-high grade tribute band, they will be ready to drop a slab of carnage to stand alongside the Brodiquins and Devourments of the world.

Just when I thought I was done with brutal death for a bit, Symphobia came out of nowhere with hammers and chainsaws to take my already abused ears to even more dire straits. Indonesia can be proud of its newest offspring, which continues to solidify the country’s reputation for a flourishing scene. That Hideously Traumatic reminds greatly of genre giants is hardly the worst flaw in the world. For now, seekers of euphoria-inducing savagery should find a high worthy of their time, with some truly traumatic moments indeed.
