"Goodness is swallowed, replaced with waste"
This punishing little platter is the work of one-man, super-human hardcore workhorse DFJ (Justin Detore to the uninitiated, current vocalist for MIND ERASER and ex-of MENTAL, WRONG SIDE, DEAD BLACK, DOWN BUT NOT OUT and about 20 more). With an attack not unlike bands like FUNEBRARUM (for which DFJ did a session drumming stint), CONVULSE and INCANTATION, INNUMERABLE FORMS blast through 3 songs of classic death metal. Thankfully the songs are kept relatively short (nothing over the 4:30 mark, although surprisingly it's the punishing "Contaminated", the longest offering here that works best for me), the production is top notch and a packaging is simplistic and effective. It's obvious that Justin knows his stuff because the songs are really well crafted. What passes for death metal nowadays can often sound like an exercise in jamming parts together (blast, dirge, thrash, dirge, blast, repeat, go over 6 min, make listener want to take own life) and that never rears its ugly head here. Played with a straight forwardness and sense of purpose that would make the late Chuck S proud, the next time you're at a show and you see a Hare Krishna guy wearing a GOD DETHRONED shirt, go say hello, the kid is real. First 100 mail order copies on green vinyl.
