Well you have members of Deaden and Lividity sodomizing this band, imagine how brutal this album is. Human Artifacts is a newcomer you could say, but you'd be partially wrong as some of the members have more experience in metal than a mature prostitute in blow jobs.

The band obviously plays the most inhuman form of Brutal Death Metal, they also sound a lot like their previous bands, but I can at least hear a less "serious" songwriting here and catchier riffs as well. The band enters your ears and slays everything in its path, then they brutalize what's left just after leaving that safe little place in your brain, it's really that grotesque.

You'll get to hear Shaun Lacanne (Putrid Pile) growling inside this album you know? If this fact didn't interest you, please say you're sorry and leave, the rest of us will keep hearing the utter brutality that this album represents. If you're looking for prodigious solos and progressive passages with layered atmospheres you're probably into "bareback riding" and you'll get scared by this album as well as it just oozes gore and violence from the beginning to the very end.

I do hate the fact that there are no lyrics included, that seriously took some points from the table; also, why do we have to see each member at least 4 times? Come on! We want a better layout with gore pictures, murderous nudity and a lot of skulls, we seriously don't want to open the booklet just to see how much the guitarist looks like Chris Farley (RIP). Let's just see some blood and more boobs in the follow-up ok? Another thing, the length of this album sucks, more music and less live songs is what makes us happy, we can handle 45 minutes of torsos, dismembered sex and ziploc bags, so where are they?

You want your metal to be as brutal as a skull eating a dead woman's crotch? Check Human Artifacts now...I mean it!
