ULCERATE (NZL)
EVERYTHING IS FIRE Willowtip Records
Written by Dave Waite on Thursday 16 April, 2009. Last updated on Saturday 18 April, 2009
Ulcerates 2007 debut full-length Of Fracture and Failure was a technical death metal work out of truly epic proportions, disregarding that shitty pro-tooled to fuckery, clean cut approach for a far denser and darker sound that was (and is) more akin to Immolation or Obscura era Gorguts than the mechanical, Nicky Clarke sponsored wankery that seems to infiltrate every airwave. Even more disjointed than the debut, new album Everything is Fire throws all conventions soaring through the air yet still maintains that very song-driven approach that enables them to stand out as an entity unto themselves. The Immolation influence can still clearly be heard looming throughout the albums backbone but is now mixed with a sense of mangled experimentalism a la Deathspell Omega, which in turn enables these eight songs to crawl that extra bit deeper under the skin. Far from mere second rate copyists Ulcerate inject a whole different sense of brutality into their music that is very much their own, letting the material take on its own natural form rather than flooding it with endless bouts of soulless self-indulgence. A wonderfully organic production enables the faultless musicianship to maintain a very human form, showing in true light just how sickeningly good and diverse these musicians can be. Whether it be their lightning fast blasting (Drown Within), mammoth grooves in time signatures that would give Stephen Hawkins a headache (Everything is Fire), or dropping things down to an unearthly crawl (Caecus), Ulcerate let their obvious dedication to both their art and their instruments shine through, which in essence makes this the awe-inspiring death metal album it really is.
