Leng Tch'e - Hypomanic

here is the brand new album from Aussie razorgrind assassins, Leng Tch'e...this band has been one of my favs since their 2005 album, Process Of Elimination...i was a bit skeptical upon hearing that they had recruited a new singer, as i was a big fan of El Bastardo and thought his vocals really fit the mood and intensity of the music...but i gotta tell ya, this new guy can growl it out with the best of em and im definitely impressed with his style and range, in fact theres one song (Totalitarian) on this new album that i had to stop and replay a few times because i could swear that i heard Barney Greenway from Napalm Death in there for a second...this album was actually produced by the same guy that has done some Napalm Death and Brujeria albums so maybe Barney did sneak in there for a guest spot, or maybe i should do more research before i start talking out my ass, but whatever the case, this new singer, Serge, is a great vocalist and a perfectly acceptable replacement for El Bastardo (who left the band of his own accord, by the way) for anyone who might be asking themselves "what the hell is a Leng Tch'e?" their name is translated into 'Death By A Thousand Cuts', which is an ancient Chinese method of torture and execution...the band also has an album by the same name, so there ya go, a little knowledge to go with your grind...check out this latest, greatest, lethal lacerating LP by Leng Tch'e, and try not to cut yourself
