Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Martyr (CAN) - Feeding the Abscess (2006)
Yes they can play very fast and technical. No they cannot write music I actually want to listen to. I did that thing where I give it a second listen to make sure I understand what tech-death sounds like... Yup still don't like it 10years and going strong. I lowered it a half a point for having wasted my time for twice as long now.
Borrowing from other in an attempt to stretch this one out.
Daniel writes; " if you love highly technical, complex & precise yet still extreme metal then "Feeding The Abscess" should be a no-brainer."
--Notice how all of that speaks to the speed and ability of the musicians, but absolutely no emotional reaction to the music?
Unhindered writes; "Overall it doesn't work for me", then awards it 4 and half stars. Why?
In the year 2025, the internet is full of fast, technical musicians, simply being fast and technical is not as special as it once was, and it never was as special as writing a good song. There are no good songs on this album.
