Only Tools and Corpses

BY Jill MikkelsonPublished Apr 1, 2004

"Zombie Graveyard Rape Bonanza” is only the beginning of a slew of songs whose titles bear more magnitude than the music itself. Only Tools and Corpses is an astounding 26 minutes long and of epic proportions compared to most grind albums. Mind-numbing double bass and grind’s signature tin can tone snare create the backdrop to the typical thick guitar tracks played at warp speed. They draw mainly from the American death metal paradigm, creating a sound that leeches from bands like Pig Destroyer, Cannibal Corpse or Cephalic Carnage. The highlight of the album comes during "Can’t Fit Her Limbs In The Fridge” with a finger-tapping meltdown that suggests there may have been more thought than forgery in the making of this album. After that, creativity is annulled and they turn back to the monotony that defines this album.
