Since their debut EP Skullcrusher has killed me with its vehemence and left me nailed down on the wall, so I was totally excited to get the first full-length of BLOODSHED in my fingers.
But ... what can I say? Already after the first run disappointment was spreading through my brain and I was pulling a face. Also after multiple listenings Inhabitants Of Dis couldn't prevent cultivated boredom. In fact I could discover a few interesting melody lines but in general this album didn't kick me out of my socks really.

Without any knickknacks the opener Death By Hanging kicks ass and mills in your aural cannels. Hellish fast Death/ Black Metal with animal shrieks paired with deepest Death Metal growls. At the end of this track you get to listen to indefinable noise, where you distrustfully look into the direction of your CD player, hoping that nothing gets killed. I don't know if it's just a mistake by pressing the promo CD or if it's intentional. Anyway it doesn't sound like a noise sample ...
In these stylistics it goes on. Always cheerfully on the knobs, no mercy! To liven up the whole thing a little bit more you get two short guitar acoustic interludes with Release and Deceit, whereat you also find spoken words on the first one. The same acoustic guitar opens Kiss Of Cruelty. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but you don't have varieties in the melodic lines. That's why the mates can't set that many accents.
From time to time they take their feet off the peddle and reduce the speed almost to mid-pace fields. But it seems the guys don't feel well there and go back to their usual high-speed pretty fast. However, it is to mention that especially the slower parts have powerful riffs and give the right drive in heaviness like in Psychosomatic Revelation. The singing lags behind the production a lot. You have to turn up the music really loud to get something to hear from the voices - whereby you fulfil the advanced sense of Inhabitants Of Dis ;-). I think there is to get out more.
In general the production on the EP was way more powerful than on this one now, although both albums were been recorded at Sunlight Studio.

In my opinion this full-length is ailing on the blast parts. Everything sounds in the same way and is arbitrarily replaceable. That's why boredom is coming up. The acoustic passages and mid-paced parts don't bring real variety into it. That's a pity :(
