Pim B.: ‘Unrepentant’ is already the fourth full-length by Canada’s thy Flesh Consumed and their first one for Diminished Fifth Records. To be honest I hadn’t heard of this band beforehand and I became aware of the fact that they already released their first album by themselves and the second and third album, ‘End Of Blind Obedience’ and ‘Pacified By Oceans Of Blood, through the to me unknown label CDN Records. So those are some albums to check out because I like what I hear on ‘Unrepentant’.
Musically this is death/grind with a slight black metal touch. The band rages on and on which means that you need to be concentrated when you listen to their music, but in the end you’ll hear some killer material. When you have to make a comparison I would say it’s a mix between Carcass (listen to the vocals) and Nile, but also Impiety or Hacavitz. You can place Thy Flesh Consumed somewhere amongst those acts. I realise this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but if you like your metal fast and brutal a listening session is in place.
