Written by Noktorn [Metal Archives]

The central Florida metal scene is a perpetually crowded one. As I've stated before, such artists fall into either black metal or brutal death metal nine times out of ten, and the vast majority of them are pretty mediocre. Nailshitter falls into the BDM category, but luckily is another one of the artists who is able to supercede many of their lesser competitors. Releasing their debut EP 'From The Bowels Of The Impaled' on Extreme Underground Records, they are sure to rapidly become a powerful force in the Florida underground and will likely spread far beyond the local scene they developed in.

What we have here is a fairly even-handed variety of brutal death metal. Nailshitter on this EP strikes a good balance between rivers of double bass and blasting and the fill-a-second style of many brutal death groups out today. Their music is refreshingly devoid of breakdowns, working more with mid-fast grooves ala Inhume to add a layer of catchiness to their compositions. One might also find the barest traces of grindcore on occasions with a slightly punkier rhythm. The performances on 'From The Bowels Of The Impaled' are all very tight and capable, from the blitzing riffs to turn-on-a-dime vocals remniscient of a more guttural George Fischer. The music is reasonably technical, but not overbearingly so: generally just enough to add a bit of spin to the songs.

Songwriting is cleverer than typical brutal death metal, with twisty, often unexpected passages emerging at regular intervals. Take opener 'Gastric Impalement', with it's deliberate tom fills that lead one to think a Devourment-style breakdown is about to occur, but then leading into a mid-paced groove instead, or micro-track 'Wading Through Bile''s incredibly slow opening before exploding in the last few seconds of its existence. Overall, such elements go far to set Nailshitter apart from other brutal death metal bands; surely an important quality in such an incredibly crowded genre. They're no slouch on riffs, either: closer 'As Maggots Pour From Her Ass' is particularly infectious in this regard...

Nailshitter's 'From The Bowels Of The Impaled' EP is a fine piece of brutal death metal that will surely please fans of the genre and likely many of those that normally aren't. Quality work by anyone's estimation.
