One word: sick! When it comes to death-grind, you don't get much better than Circle Of Dead Children. I've been impressed with this band for quite some time, and their latest offering, 'The Genocide Machine', has proven them to be ever-growing in their field of musical misanthropy. You can start at any point of this CD, which offers 17 grinding slabs of meat for you to sink your teeth into, and be completely satisfied with your purchase within mere moments. Displaying both high pitched and low end vocals, Circle Of Dead Children musify total annihilation through superior guitar riffs, while the drummer backs it up with blast-beats tighter than the US/Mexico border.
While songs like 'Extreme Cannibal Smoke', 'Only One Per Coffin', 'Two Week Notice', and 'Beethoven's Children' show off their technical skill on their instruments, it also displays their superior songwriting ability. You see, none of the songs sound particularly the same, which has become a problem with quite a deal of bands in the brutal death/grind scene these days. Also, choosing not to stick just to blasting grind, fast death, slow sludgy grind, or any other one genre of brutal metal seems to be what keeps this album intersting listen after listen. Comparing the first song 'Migration' and the last song 'CTRL * ALT * DELETE' you see two totally different styles of music. But the Circle of Dead Children sound still remains.
Though many grind bands have gone the route of incessant blasts, exclusively burp-core vocals, and guitar riffs so down in the mix of the album that it's difficult to understand what exactly they are playing, Circle Of Dead Children chooses to keep groove and rhythm in their grind while remaining just as brutal as their peers. Brutal death/grind is slowly making its way to the fore-front of modern underground metal and we shall soon see Circle of Dead Children join Harakiri, Disavowed and Pyaemia as the newcomers soon to head up that faction. They simply have done nothing wrong on 'The Genocide Machine', and show no signs of slowing down the grind-machine. Technical destruction played perfectly.
