Failed Humanity

The Sound of Razors Through Flesh

BY Greg PrattPublished Apr 1, 2001

Oh yeah, here's a brilliant idea; release a death metal album in 2001 that sounds identical to what generic death metal albums from six years ago sounded like. Every time you read a magazine there are at least two or three reviews in it saying "this is a well played death metal album, but this style of metal is so over-played and boring, why bother?" Well, here's one more to add to the collection. I have nothing else to say on the matter, really, besides sending this message to record labels world-wide: please stop releasing second-rate, boring, derivative death metal albums. We are not stupid. It's an exciting and innovative time in metal, so look a bit harder for the bands with something to say, the bands that are doing something different and the bands that can think for themselves. This sort of thing will not cut it anymore.
