Here is the review if you do not feel like clicking on the link- Cool job man, very nice. The people who undeniably love the bands are the ones who personally write the best reviews!! --
:hotjump:
You know, sometimes the major record labels and MTV try to give you the impression that they actually do feature bands and "artists" based solely opn talent, and not on image or potential profit. One listen to this album completely destroys that theory and reveals it to be complete bullshit. Because if that were the case, the guys in Vehemence would be millionaires. But sadly, that is not the case, and this band is going to remain in underground obscurity, only to be discovered by the few people who actually know what talent is. But enough Lamenting, on to the actual review. Basically, this album is amazing. The members of Vehemence have created a unique blend of Brutal and melodic death metal(Whether they created or perfected it, I'm not sure, but I've never heard a band play this style before), and have done an amazing job doing so. The guitars are both crushing and beautiful at the same time, like something you want to hum along while headbanging till you break your neck. The drums are flawless: snappy, fast, clean, everything metal drumming should be. And the vocals, well, the vocals are hard to describe in typed words. you have to hear how truly disturbing Nate Gearhardt can be. Lyrically, this album seems also to be a perfect blend of Brutal, Cannibal Corpse-like lyrics and Gothenburg-style tales of depression and lonliness. God Was Created is actually a concept album that plays out like the most disturbing horror movie you will ever see. I can't even begin to describe the lyrical content in depth, but let's just say that I've been listening to death metal for years, and this is the first album that ever really scared the bejesus outta me. I won't go into song-by-song reviews, because this review is already hella long, but I will say that the centerpiece and the highlight of this album would have to be Christ, I Fucking Hate You! If Only for the riff that kicks in around 0:17. Coolest. Riff. Ever. so go. Go now. Listen to this album, drink beer, headbang(not at the same time, jackass), and enjoy. This is death metal, and you will love it.
