Prolific Grind/Hardcore/Sludge quintet Lifetaker have returned with a sophomoric full length album entitled 'Der Letzte Raum' (The Last Room) which will see the light of day later this month on an impressive looking LP, put out via Black Omega Recordings.
If you are going to call yourself Lifetaker you damn sure best have a sound to match the statement, and these German chaos merchants go about proving their mettle over the course of fifteen short sharp blasts of violence incarnate. I'm not massively well versed in either Grindcore or Hardcore so I'll instead spend my time telling you how the album sounds rather than trying to unpick the bands myriad influences.
And what it sounds like is what I imagine having your face forcibly dragged along a cobbled street at a hundred miles per hour might sound like. A violent uncontrollable maelstrom of bludgeoning beats, Buzzsaw riff-age and a vocal style from the gutters, spewing forth bile and spite at every available moment. And yet at times Lifetaker produce moments of pure unadulterated fist pumping madness such as the delightfully catchy 'Kehlbiss' or the equally as fun sounding 'Kadaverstille' which are surely destined to be pit favourites at any upcoming shows that the band grace.
An absolutely banger of an album from start to finish; chaotic and carnage filled, viciously spiteful and intoxicatingly gratifying. Like a Panzer tank belligerently bulldozing your house and making you aks for more! Plug this directly into my veins and leave me to it!
