Maniac Butcher
Masakar
Negative Existence
4.5
First things first, I am utterly annoyed with myself for sleeping on this album for as long as I did. I am ashamed to say that the day job now requires me to think and shit and thus I have slept on this and a fair amount of other killer albums as a result. But now that I have had the chance to listen to Maniac Butcher’s “Masakar” I can say with all honesty that it was definitely worth the wait.
The entire album is done in Maniac Butcher’s native Czech so I don’t understand a word that they’re saying, and sadly I don’t have anyone who can translate for me; but even without being able to understand the actual words on “Masakar” it just oozes brutality, hate and sheer awesomeness. The vox are delivered with a guttural rasp that is ferocious, and boarding on inhuman in its utter contempt for whatever topic that they are approaching.
Musically speaking “Masakar” is stripped down pure Black Metal at it’s finest. It has a solid Rock influenced base that keeps the album ground with tight melodies and infectious hooks that keep things moving along smoothly without interfering with the harsh intent of the bands message. Not that I claim to know what the message of Maniac Butcher may be-- after all I don’t speak Czech--but after listening to “Masakar” I imagine their message to be something that spits in the face of all things the society holds dear and fucks it up the ass with its hypocrisy. But keep in mind I an just venturing a guess with that one.
Maniac Butcher’s “Maskar” is one of those albums that transcends the limitations of culture and language to speak of all things brutal that touch the hearts of Metal heads everywhere.
