If you like your extreme metal fast and furious -- and oh-so-precise -- then
Man Must Die
(how's that for a straight-to-the-point band name?) is the group for you. And on their 2009 release,
No Tolerance for Imperfection
, blastbeats, grizzly bear growling, galloping rhythms, and rapid riffing are all on display. The songs may blur into each other, but it's hard not to be impressed with the full-on, seemingly non-stop assault that
lay on the listener this time around, especially on such dainty little ditties as the album-opening title track, as well as
"Gainsayer,"
"Hide the Knives,"
"How the Mighty Have Fallen,"
and probably the best songtitle of the entire disc,
"Kill It Skin It Wear It."
Looking for some airtight extreme metal?
shall certainly satisfy. ~ Greg Prato
