You can't know everything... but you should, in the case of the extreme metal combo IN THE ACT OF VIOLENCE, founded in 2006, be from the extensive Toronto area! Especially if you like a successful symbiosis of straight, brutal slamming Deathcore, which is also blessed with a merciless pool of inventiveness. The splatter sound of the Canadian Quadriga seldom breaks the sound barrier, but mostly blows it out heartily and rapidly. The infernal wrecking ball ITAOV pulls a rough style on deck and manages almost entirely without electronic gimmicks. Only for one or the other input sample, a small, painless 8-bit sound intro on "Devil's Advocate" and a few pleasant piano sound layers on the final agony "Worldwide Vendetta",

 

The 38:10 minutes "Parasitic Populace", which relentlessly bangs in the face, heralds the tenth round of the North American extreme metal weirdos. With the new, schizophrenic micro-membrane killer Jamie Crews at the forefront, pure fucking Deathcore is now really getting into the act. Jamie eats his way through all the parasitic Deathcore vokill styles from screaming to pigsquealing, grunting, panting, gasping, raging, shrieking, growling, grumbeling, to the coarse roaring with ease and exercises them to the extreme.

In addition, there are the barbarically meaty riff salvos that Zach Leggotts tickles out of his guitar, Conrad Thompson's skull-cracking, low-frequency chattering four-stringer, as well as the rough poly- and cross-rhythms of whipping boy Kenny Coulls, which ultimately captivate every Brutal Deathcore disciple and immediately pull them with them tear into the abyss. Jamie's powerfully implemented and multi-faceted interpreted vocal styles, which here and there leave a freezer burn, fit IN THE ACT OF VIOLENCE's Extraordinary Deathcore style like a sneaky uppercut directly under the chin and give the nine bone breakers a merciless spice.  

 

The brutal gravedigger dynamics of the Canadian Hellraisers are also supported by interesting changes in style, which contain short, classic parts or sometimes get rock'n'roll, as well as the crude, slightly creaky production. IN THE ACT OF VIOLENCE play with their arrangements and productions as if there were nothing easier in this world. Ok, if you have ten albums under your belt by now, it should just flow like that. Thompson's omnipresent woofer pumps enormous pressure into ITAOV's deathcore primordial soup, which, with their hopeless babble of voices, the brutally disharmonious guitar excesses and the constant changes within the music, deal the ultimate deathblow to unsuccessfully arising boredom. The 38:10 minute raging, menacingly wild battle "Parasitic Populace" can therefore be classified as absolutely suitable for moshpits. You should see for yourself below, in yesterday's visualizer video for "Worldwide Vendetta", my second fave of the album.
