The Belgian scene has recently lost some true underground jewels, especially Suhrim (and in this context, it's funny how the first words on this album are "Unleash The Fury"). But we may feel somewhat comforted by the rise of new bands that intend to carry on the death metal vibe. Demolished is one of those upcoming acts, that put its mark on the metal map with the release of the debut album.
"Defleshing The Innocent" is a six course menu that you'll want to scoff right down, granted that you have a concrete stomach. What's more, it's prepared grandmother's way (and yes, by that I mean old school... too far fetched?). Seriously now, Demolished boils down to what you could call relentless, and heavy. The band's style inclines towards the generic, but the catch is in the brutally swinging rhythm. If you don't tap a finger or nod your head to this one even once, you shouldn't be listening to any music at all. Add to that the lack of breathing room, the pushing, bulldozing drive coming forth from bass, drum and vocals alike, and the technical sidesteps. Only the leads tend to sound uncertain, almost improvised. Other than that, however, you have a satisfied listener right here. Recommended if you're ready to get overrun by this slab of intense, growling death metal.
