From a Second Story Window
Delenda
Band: F.A.S.S.W
|
I've watched this Ohio act tread through the ugly local trenches from some time now, and they've always dealt a
savage and fatal blow. Yet this is a new era, and the usual heavy-as-shit, hack
and slash has gone apeshit in the form of tech-fused all-over-the-placeness.
With new vocalist Will Jackson (ex-End Of All) and even more inventive lyrical pathology, "Delenda" is highly ambitious both vocally and musically. With Delenda, we get an even more chaotic mix of harsh prog-metalcore that beats the piss out of any listener. It's jagged and unpredictable at every turn, culminating in a bestial wall of sound. Many bands that go for this arena are often too juxtaposed and incoherent to stand the test, yet FASSW know exactly how to play off the schizophrenic extremes and make each composition work.
