Bleed on My Teeth

One of the “wild” representatives of black-colored death metal from the United Kingdom are the English Adorior. Founded in 1994 and active in the underground ever since, the band has only released two full-lengths. After the debut “Like Cutting The Sleeping” in 1998 and the following “Author Of Incest”, album number 3 now comes almost exactly 19 years later, which goes by the name of “Bleed On My Teeth”.

Actually, it doesn't take many words to describe this carnage, because right from the opener “Begrime Judas” you know that there are no prisoners here. Despite the deep, black-colored death metal machinery that breaks over the listener, the listener doesn't just get punched in the face or in the pit of the stomach. No, there are also finely interspersed progressive lead guitars, violent dissonances and occasionally a hint of melody. The shooting gallery shoots from all angles and offers pretty much everything that the black and death metal genres have to offer. With heavy driving beats, rapid drum fire and hyper blast beats, D. Molestör practically knots and unknots his arms. The riffing, which cuts deep into the flesh, and the nasty, throaty vocals, which come across as slightly gurgling and sometimes come up with high screams, ensure a high level of aggression and the bass, which is nicely present but not intrusive, lends additional depth.

Anyone who has read this far will have realized that it's not just banging, even if the overall impression might suggest this. In addition to tempo and beat changes, breaks and progressive guitars, samples are also used time and again. A low-flying plane here, rain and thunderstorms there, or even a “roaring” engine, set one or two small accents and allow the listener to at least take a breath before the air is taken away again. Even if there aren't the big solo moments, the short little ones do their job very well here and set accents. Just like a chorus-like “Hey-hey-hey”.

From a production point of view, there is nothing to complain about and the mix is just as good. Everything comes through the speakers rough, earthy and with plenty of steam. Each instrument and the vocals are given exactly the space they need to avoid being drowned in the desired chaos. Despite the high level of aggression and the aforementioned chaos, the instruments are easy to make out, which sometimes leaves a lot to be desired in such works. It remains to be seen whether everyone will be able to take on this carnage on record, but “live on stage” you'll go wild, there's no stopping you.

Conclusion:
The third Adorior album simply blows the listener away, but at the same time provides them with finely crafted tracks that carry a lot to discover. A deep black, death-metal carnage is unleashed here, drawing you into Adorior's dark, aggressive and all-consuming maelstrom and never spitting you out again. This album is a “black hole” in extreme metal.
