But for others-Vulvodynia, for ║ ║ example-they're an exaggeration of the truth, of history, or of ║ ║ both. On their third full-length release, Mob Justice, Vulvodynia ║ ║ take a break from the loosely conceptual but immensely gritty ║ ║ narrative that defined Psychosadistic Design to create an experience ║ ║ based around South African politics, history, socio-economic strife ║ ║ and social warfare, all in a grisly and grotesque thirty-five minute ║ ║ long salvo. Mob Justice stands as Vulvodynia's finest offering to ║ ║ date, with some tracks that veer deeper into the slammier side of ║ ║ this sinister slamming deathcore outfit's inclincations, while ║ ║ others linger more towards a beatdown-infused deathcore approach, ║ ║ giving the band's magnum opus a balanced, diverse but thoroughly ║ ║ brutalizing dynamic. ║ ║ ║ ║ Mob Justice contains some songs-'Nyaope' and 'Cultural ║ ║ Misogyny'-that are Vulvodynia's most slam songs to date. Others-like ║ ║ the 'Reclaim the Crown' series and 'Blood Diamond' lean more towards ║ ║ a raw head-on collision between deathcore and heavy ║ ║ hardcore/beatdown. This is, in some part, due to the instrumental ║ ║ variation found throughout the record. Percussionist Thomas Hughes ║ ║ serves as the band's backbone, with 'Blood Diamond' oscillating ║ ║ between lacerating blast beats and beefy, bold breakdown patterns ║ ║ without discrimination. 'Mob Justice,' the record's title track, ║ ║ serves as a sturdier example of Hughes' slamming death metal skills, ║ ║ working excellently with bassist Chris Van Der Walt to bewilder the ║ ║ listener with bone-busting aggression from the first ║ ║ spine-shattering slam. Relentlessly, the duo work to craft a beastly ║ ║ low end that serves as the bastion for guitarists Byron Dunwoody, ║ ║ Luke Haarhoff and Kris Xenopolous. Vulvodnia's tri-headed and ║ ║ terrifying trifecta spend the entirety of Mob Justice laying down ║ ║ riff after riff after groove after gut-wrenching slam to steamroll ║ ║ the listener beneath over a half-hour of boundless brutality. ║ ║ 'Nyaope' is an excellent example-especially for those seeking some ║ ║ of Mob Justice's slammier segments. Meanwhile, 'Echoes of the ║ ║ Motherland' is a brief interlude that contrasts catchy writing with ║ ║ cruel and unusual aggression-all while the trio create a pummeling ║ ║ piece of deathcore perfection on 'Born Into Filth.' The takeaway is ║ ║ that Mob Justice is simultaneously the most slam and least slam ║ ║ record Vulvodynia have released to date-but whether you measure it ║ ║ in terms of slams, breakdowns, riffs or blast-beats, it is without a ║ ║ doubt their finest instrumental effort to date. ║ ║ ║ ║ The conceptual aspect of Mob Justice becomes relevant when ║ ║ considering the lyrical contributions by frontman Duncan Bentley. ║ ║ Bentley has made a name for himself in the undergrounds populated by ║ ║ fans of extreme metal, and for good reason-even with the stunning ║ ║ variety provided by Mob Justice's guest vocalists, Bentley's vocals ║ ║ remain immaculate. What's more, his vocal variety is matched only by ║ ║ the difficult tasks broached by his lyrics, ranging from child ║ ║ warfare and slaughter on 'Blood Diamond,' social strife and ║ ║ class-based conflict in 'Nyaope' and sex-based discrimination and ║ ║ oppression in 'Cultural Misogyny' (which, for those unfamiliar with ║ ║ Mob Justice's theme, might be mistaken for veritable misogyny). ║ ║ Bentley has managed to do what many may consider to be an ║ ║ impossibility-create an intellectually stimulating slamming ║ ║ deathcore record. While many tracks take repeated listens (and a ║ ║ glance or two at a lyric sheet) to decipher, the more intelligible ║ ║ tracks like 'Blood Diamond' donÆt take a historian to figure out. ║ ║ Wait! Some might be thinking. Are the vocals even good? Well ║ ║ yeah-yeah, they're incredible-but to capture the sheer range Bentley ║ ║ boasts, the listener is better off just listening to the damn ║ ║ record. ║ ║ ║ ║ I'm fairly certain in just about every review I write for a ║ ║ slam-something-or-other band, I end up hammering home that most of ║ ║ the genre I find to be dense, dull or otherwise intolerable. That's ║ ║ still true-and was true for Vulvodynia, once upon a time. However, ║ ║ since the band's debut EP, they have continued to grow, with each ║ ║ subsequent record being better than its predecessor. Psychosadistic ║ ║ Design was damn good, which means Mob Justice might just have a fair ║ ║ shot at claiming the title of slamming deathcore's apex record, at ║ ║ least where 2019 is concerned. Laden with more riffs, grooves, slams ║ ║ and breakdowns than you could shake a whole Sahara's worth of sticks ║ ║ at, Mob Justice is one of 2019's must-listen slamming deathcore ║ ║ records. ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════[TRACK.LiST]══════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ 01 Feast 1:17 ║ ║ 02 Mob Justice 3:51 ║ ║ 03 Blood Diamond 4:42 ║ ║ 04 Born Into Filth 2:49 ║ ║ 05 Famine 3:18 ║ ║ 06 Echoes Of The Motherland 2:43 ║ ║ 07 Nyaope 3:48 ║ ║ 08 Reclaim The Crown Part I: The Burning Kingdom (ft 4:47 ║ ║ Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder) ║ ║ 09 Reclaim The Crown Part II: Risen From Ash 3:36 ║ ║ 10 Cultural Misogyny 3:54 ║ ║ ║ ║ TOTAL SiZE.: 10 Files/89.47MB/34:45 min ║ ║ ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════[⌐2019]═════════════════════════════════╝
