Album Review

You know those random phrase generators some websites have, where you press a button and a mad-lib phrase appears? The concept has been modified to create various styles of band names and album titles over the years. And now it's apparently been applied to the band name and album title of Mechanics of Dysfunction by Beneath the Massacre, which sound like they were generated by a death metal phrase generator. The ten songs themselves don't deviate from death metal expectations, from the Cookie Monster vocals to the double-time drumming to the faux-shocking song titles, although an untitled minute-long track at the album's midpoint features a crash-cymbal loop overlaid with a stuttering start-stop guitar line that was almost certainly played on a keyboard-controlled sampler.

Customer Reviews

True Technicality

A technical death metal album the way it should be. Way better than Dystopia in my opinioon. A must. Just buy the whole album. If you like stuff like Nile, Vital Remains, etc. You will like this.

Wow.

If there's one thing I've learned from reading iTunes album reviews, it's to never listen to whoever wrote the review that sits at the top of the page, because, quite often, they're idiots. If he really thing the Untitled track was played with a keyboard, he clearly knows nothing about this genre of music.
Of course this album isn't for everyone. There aren't a lot of Miley Cyrus fans picking up Beneath the Massacre CD's. If I were to try to identify most of the listening base of bands like this, it'd be made of mostly of metalhead musicians. I don't see how you could truly enjoy this to it's full potential unless you truly understood the caliber of musicianship in this band. There's not a whole heck of alot about this band that's incredibly original, as the smart alecky reviewer at the top of the page mentioned about the song titles, but what's really important about this band is, they are some of the best in the technical metal genre.
And as someone who plays drums, I've got to say. This album is truly inspiring. The guitar sound is absolutely brutal, and the bass sound is absolutely crushing. The vocals are pretty impressive, too.
This truly is technical death metal at it's finest.

WTF?

Why do they have somebody who obviously isn't a fan of death metal writting a review of a death metal album?
