Extended info
Corpset is a 5-piece metal band from Finland who will release their debut album “Ruins” via Violent Journey Records on April 27. According to their bio, they recorded this album in several different locations that includes professional studios and a horse ranch in the Finnish countryside. Ummm, nothing says metal like the sweet stench of horse manure. Other than this tidbit of information, I know very little of the band. So without further ado, lets jump right into the songs on this release.
If I had to classify this band, I would call it melodic death metal with hints of old school thrash. There is tons of melody and harmonics throughout this album. The guitar tone has a very old school bay area thrash sound to it. Think “Ultra Violence” from Death Angel or “Forbidden Evil” by Forbidden. It is obvious while listening to this album that both of the guitarists for Corpset are accomplished musicians. Filled with hooks and solid solos that not only complement the music but add an extra element to the songs. There is enough energy and aggression within each song to maintain an element of potency that a lot of the new school bands lack. This being said, not all songs are winners on this release; first song that comes to mind is “Into The Light”. Basically this song goes nowhere, almost comes across Pantera like.
I can’t put my finger on it, but I have this funny feeling that with the right distribution and promotion that Corpset can do big things here in the US. They could be the perfect launching pad band for kids just getting into extreme metal. What I mean by this is that the band are able to construct quality and heavy songs, all the while maintaining a sense of melody with hooks o’ plenty. For a young lad just stepping into the extreme metal pool this would be perfect, like hanging out in the 4 ft. section of the pool before jumping into the deep end.
Strong songs are “The Light Divine”, with its mid-paced marching riff with a killer harmonic riff over the top and sweet sounding solo. The vocals are where I consider them to be a quasi death metal band, as the vocalist has a powerful and deep delivery. The quick, tight and incredibly thrash ridden riff of the second song “Castrate” is definitely a highlight. “Moment of Clarity” reeks of old school thrash and that is a good thing. They have a video of this song, which I don’t recommend watching if your drunk as you too will vomit blood as someone does in the video.
Not reinventing the wheel, but writing quality thrash monger tunes is what is available by Corpset. These Finnish lads will do some damage within the metal community given the right promotion and distribution. I for one hope that they will continue to forge ahead and engage the metal masses with their brand of Finnish metal.
