INFEST
Addicted To Flesh
(Defying Danger Records)
31:26min

INFEST is an interesting Death / Thrash Metal act coming from Serbia. Formed back in 2001, “Addicted To Flesh” is their fifth full-length. The music here is aggressive, fast and brutal. The album opens with a short intro and after almost one minute comes ‘Hail To The Mother War’, a brutal track charged with good riffs, fast drums, and some nice Bay Area Thrash style chorus. The fourth track, titled ‘Addicted To Flesh’ is one of the most interesting here. Nice solos, tempo changes, fast drumming and some interesting chorus that reminds me of BORKNAGAR or ARCTURUS (I’m not kidding), miles away from the average Thrash or Death chorus! INFEST sometimes is technical, from time to time melodic and really fast (holy shit, try the sixth and seventh tracks, ‘Nailed To Your Spine’ and ‘Stigmatized’… this band must be sick on stage!). The drum sound is close to the classic “Realm Of Ecstasy” by THANATOS. The vocals remind me of Piotr Paweł Wiwczarek (VADER) and the music is close to legendary acts like SADUS, DEAD HEAD, A.R.G. and not so far from their countrymates BLOODBATH. If you can get “Addicted To Flesh”, get it! Support them: www.facebook.com/infest.serbia, www.facebook.com/defyingdanger
