Chainsaw
Dissection is a bloody massacre hailing from Pennsylvania. A one man
band actually. “The Butcher” Bob Macabre composed everything
on “Remnants Of The Slaughtered”. Loud and chaotic death/grind
fills this disc with morbid attitude and insanity. The guitar tone is like
Entombed or Dismember, while musically it reminds me of Mortician but also
Obituary and Nile. But not quite the quality of those bands. This does have
redeeming traits but I couldn’t get into all. “Remnants Of The
Slaughtered” reminds me of a young struggling crocodile…wild
and vicious but also archaic. This needs more modern techniques, equipment,
and a little more organization so you can get into the tracks a little more.
One reason why I mention equipment is because the levels are a little high
at times; you can hear them max out. It gets annoying. The only other thing
to mention is the drum machine programming. I know sometimes people are
limited to using electronic drums, but to me it cheapens the music. Nine
tracks and forty-five minutes plus of metal at its most extreme. Underground
metal mayhem.
