Review by Shadowdoom9 (Andi) for PainKiller - Buried Secrets (1992)
Things get weird once again in Painkiller's second release Buried Secrets. There's more of that tortured screaming saxophone in many tracks and that can get a bit annoying. However, what makes this album better is than their debut Guts of a Virgin is much less of their earlier grindcore, as well as the two longer epics which are the title track and "The Toll". Both rely less on that d*mn saxophone and feature guest appearances by Godflesh, both members with their metal instrumentation and all. You can find a lot in this avant-garde album that's more disturbing than even the goriest death metal around, much more than I can stand....
Favorites (only ones I like): "Buried Secrets", "The Toll"
