Lords of Sleaze (bonus) 02:57 - -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- - Vi÷lence is a one-man black/speed outfit out of Australia that rips through the 20-minute debut EP Mot÷rDemon with the ferocity of a banshee from hell strung out on whiskey, BDSM, and Gehennah records. Going in, it's obvious there's not going to be much groundbreaking going on; black/speed can be a far more limiting style than it's thrashier cousin. Mot÷rDemon doesn't try to do anything new, instead each track can be seen as a different study in the influences of creator Dylan Potter. After a brief intro, the EP kicks off with "Ritual of the Goat," a palm-muted, engine-stroking burner that brings to mind the guitar style of Razor's Dave Carlo. The vocals were one of the first things to hook me in: from the off-time, rabid delivery of the verse to the almost cracking wail in the chorus, Potter is giving it his all. "Chained Up" loses the palm mutes for a punkier, d-beat fueled belter that explodes with double-kick afterburners for one of my favorite tracks on the EP. With no time wasted, "L.S.D. (Leather, Sex, Death)" builds off a few tweaks of the "Painkiller" riff, and with Potter's vocal delivery, creates a blackened S&M anthem that could give Midnight a run for their money. Nowhere is a Venom presence felt more than on "Worship At Midnight": a full- throttle blasphemy that rallies the hordes of evil from their barstools and into a heathen celebration of sin and destruction. The EP comes to a close with an obvious nod to Mot÷rhead. With the swagger of rock'n'roll and the sneer of punk, "Mot÷rDemon" drives home the point Vi÷lence has been preaching since the first chords kicked in: speed metal fucking rules. Mot÷rDemon is everything I want out of a power EP. Concise (minus the intro, but it's fitting and less than a minute), energetic, and consistent throughout, Mot÷rDemon is a passion project and it shows. Sure, Vi÷lence aren't exactly breaking the mold here, and really don't need to. The spirit of Mot÷rhead lives: just good, fast, rock'n'roll heavy metal (with more Satan, and kind of a thing for asphyxiation). - -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -
