Fuck…I’m Dead/Bring on the Dead

After releasing a demo and a great split 7″ with Sanity’s Dawn, the Australian grindcore band Fuck…I’m Dead was signed to Razorback Records and released this brutal masterpiece last year called “Bring On The Dead”.

Fifteen brand-new tracks grace this album, along with the six songs from their split 7″ and two live tracks. After just a few listens of this twenty-three track album, one’s mind will feel as if bludgeoned tremendously with a sledgehammer. When you first pop this motherfucker into your stereo, you will be greeted with a short intro. What then follows is an explosion of insane, devastating, brutal, grinding songs. The longest is one minute and forty-one seconds and the shortest is only twenty-eight seconds. But size and length matters not, because in just a matter of seconds Fuck…I’m Dead will decapitate you, fuck your mouth, and feast on your brain. And when you think you might have a rest from the skull-fucking, they pick you back up and do it again – IN THE EYE SOCKET!

The riffs on this album are very well-crafted and unique. Instead of just playing four chords through the entire album (like other bands I shall not name), these guys inject actual melody, making some of the more catchy and extremely headbangable grindcore songs I’ve heard, then pummeling you with brutality. Same goes for the vocalist, as he varies his screams very well; a plate-shattering high scream, a gut-renching low growl, and more, mixing between them very well. They dont have a drummer (which is a shame) but they do use two drum machines, making the intensity of the beatings drilling through your skull even larger!

Fuck…I’m Dead hold back nothing on their songs. “Colon Commando” starts off with an audio sample, a girl asking, “Are you into metal?” A man replies “As long as its heavy.” and then instantly your face has been sawed off from the grinding beats and screaming vocals. “Barefoot and Shit Faced” is a masterpiece, as well as “Licky Webster” and “Slowly Raped With A Chainsaw”. The song “Spray Me With Fecal Matter” begins with the sounds of a person shitting, then the brain-exploding brutal rage begins. They destroy live also, as the two live tracks show they will kill you in person.

After I finished listening to this album, I realized I was murdered. But because this band murdered me, I was so happy, I wished I could be reanimated just for this album to slit my throat again. I highly recommend this album to all fans of grindcore, goregrind and violent things. As hard as I’ve just tried, words just cannot describe this band or this album. I cant fucking wait for their next release.
