HeWhoCorrupts - Ten Steps To Success
Reviewed by ryan
As an understatement, I’ll begin this review by stating that Ten Steps To Success is not for the lighthearted. On HeWhoCorrupts’ latest, blast beats stomp your ear drums to a bloody mess. Guitars carve scars into your frontal lobe. Basslines rumble like an earthquake. And that’s just the beginning. Ten Steps to Success envisions HeWhoCorrupts getting increasingly more brutal, heavy, and, well, insane, since their last release with time signatures that zigzag through songs, vocals that sound like voices only a demon could purge, and breakdowns that pummel the listener. This “full-length” clocks in just above fourteen minutes, but the pain forced into these moments of audio napalm rivals the catharsis of only the best hardcore outfits. Sure, there is rarely a pause in the assault, a melody to grab a hold of, but with HeWhoCorrupts, that’s never even been the point. [www.hewhocorrupts.com]
