Deathface: Fall of Man (Trouble and Bass Records)

Reviewed by Eric Saeger

Chop-screwed drum’n’bass for metalheads. Johnny Love was half of Guns N’ Bombs and is now all of Deathface, aside from a few random screeches from psycho-posturing chick singer Adri Law on ‘Sick of It’. ‘Gift of Fury’ is desolate and hard-ass at turns, what you’d expect if Acumen Nation tried their hand at gabber, the balance forward is a grab-bag of what you think it sounds like inside Courtney Love’s brain, loud relentless pounding. Going by the constant name-checking thrown Atari Teenage Riot’s way in the press blurbs for this thing, I was expecting something a lot less anti-everything than what turned up, which would have been mighty fricking lame, but instead this is a truly furious combination of Rob Gee, Salem and your basic rage-aholic DJ, say Terrorfakt.

Grade: B-
