Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Ulcerate's debut full-length 'Of Fracture and Failure' is available now for the first time in North America through the Willowtip/Neurotic records partnership. The album comprises 9 tracks of crushing dark death metal, with more than a few surprises in store. The culmination of 2 years of writing, 'Of Fracture...' brings new meaning to the phrase 'linear song-writing', mixing pure rhythmic and dissonant extremity with an unnerving sense of melody and atmosphere...

5.0 out of 5 stars metal as art, November 1, 2007
By tom metal (Cumberland, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This death metal act hailing from Auckland, New Zealand have written an absolutely uncompromising, raging and unique album. I've been listening to death metal for 12 years, so I've heard a lot and get bored with most.but when I pressed play on this cd, It instantly made me jump up in my chair.

Right out of the gates, Of Fracture And Failure sets the mood for total annihilation. Scorched-earth vocals and intelligent, cynical lyrics combine with calculus equations reinterpreted for the fret board, and the drumming is far beyond the too-often used "machine gun" description; if you played this cd on a loud enough system, I'm pretty certain that the drums would cause enough seismic activity to send California to the bottom of the ocean.

What makes this album so great is that Ulcerate take the outstanding death metal base they built with their debut The Coming Of Genocide and have aggrandized the sound by forging it with the technical, frantic urgency of bands such as Creation Is Crucifixion or The Dillinger Escape Plan as well as the disorientating, soul-numbing drone of bands like Isis. No other bands sound like this right now, and I'm pretty sure that even if they tried, they couldn't top this.

I can't stress enough how great of an album this is, especially if like me, you hunger for a sense of creativity and distinctive style in the bands that you listen to. The only advice that I can give you in this review is that you go out and get this cd. I don't care how you get the money; sell your furniture if you have to. Buy it, put it in your player, turn it up loud and let Ulcerate pulverize you until your organs turn into a soup-like homogenate. If you ignore this album, you should think twice about calling yourself a fan of extreme metal especially now since it's available domestically from Willowtip Records. There's no reason not to get this.

5.0 out of 5 stars stunning, January 27, 2009
By morpho (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
it will take we weeks of repeatedly listening to process the layered extremity being perpetrated on this album. praise and negation and becoming lycanthrope are among the most brutal and unpredictable extreme (death) metals songs ever unleashed. i never write reviews on scamazon but these guys are so unrelentingly talented and creative and so unknown that i had to chime in.
