:: ::
:: Being beaten to death is a pretty rudimentary way to go in ::
:: the context of extreme music. Norway's Beaten To Death, ::
:: however, are anything but basic. The band blithely blend ::
:: grind, death, hardcore punk, and post-whatever melodies ::
:: with apeshit glee. Metal's periodic table has been ::
:: reshuffled so much of late that these genre markers mean ::
:: less and less; you've got to rely on gut instinct to guide ::
:: your ears. Xes And Strokes scratches an intense aural itch, ::
:: marrying incisive resonance to a righteous pummeling. I ::
:: don't feel the slightest bit of guilt in soaking up these ::
:: spasms of maniacal joy. ::
:: ::
:: Beaten to Death is stocked with well-seasoned members of ::
:: Insense, Tsjuder and She Said Destroy; their pedigree is ::
:: clear as they bring these crooked ideas to life. Xes And ::
:: Strokes unloads nine tracks in a grindworthy nineteen ::
:: minutes. Elastic, detuned riffage morphs repeatedly into ::
:: outbursts of unabashed, triumphant harmony. These maneuvers ::
:: could easily slide into saccharine quicksand, but the band ::
:: always rebound at the last moment with malevolent ferocity. ::
:: Anders Bakke's feral, incomprehensibly ravenous vocals ::
:: never surrender to the euphoria, maintaining a crazed howl ::
:: throughout. ::
:: ::
:: Riffs often roll with a Azagthothian drawl, sometimes ::
:: bringing to mind Gojira's undulating paroxysms or Maruta's ::
:: mechanistic miasma. The frequent melodic passages don't ::
:: display any of metal's usual proclivities (Iron Maiden ::
:: worship, symphonic Stilton), instead invoking indie ::
:: aesthetics and traditional punk sensibilities. These ::
:: sturdy, lucid constructs work surprisingly well against a ::
:: backdrop of grind. Christian Svendsen's drumming is ::
:: spectacular and quite essential to the album's cohesion. ::
:: Unrelenting blastbeats flay most, but not all of the ::
:: victorious whimsy from these tunes. ::
:: ::
:: Xes And Strokes never sounds disjointed, calculated or ::
:: desultory; the album feels like it just kind of fell ::
:: together attractively. Sit back, smile, and celebrate ::
:: annihilation. You deserve it. ::
