After the debut full-length, it took Laceration 3 years to fire up their fans again.
‘I Erode’ is a logical continuation of ‘Demise’, in the same Malevolent Creation meets Demolition Hammer and Morbid Angel way. And when you hear the leads, it has a nice James Murphy-ring to it.
Compared to the previous album, the production, handled by Exhumed’s and Gruesome’s Matt Harvey, has been elevated. It’s tighter, and the bass has a more prominent presence. Yet, one could say “ah damned…”, wishing for a more 1993-1995 US Death Metal sound. The Scott Burns treatment sort of speak.
If that doesn’t bother you, and you enjoy your Malevolent Creation-like riffs and aggressiveness, ‘I Erode’ is definitely an album to put on your “to-listen”-list.
