Nearly 4 years
ago I got the debut record Impulse Of Exhume in
my CD-player. With this release the BURNING BUTTHAIRS pocket
8 of 10 points because this one stinks strong of cult then. And
this not at least because of a lowbrow and sympathic old school
stuff heavy on early Carcass. Evening Feast says
goodbye to the stinking cult and makes a few steps back in the
musical development as well as in the overall picture. The BURNING
BUTTHAIRS replace the Carcass sound by 4 times deep standard
droning and 1 well chosen slasher intro. The unbalanced production
in demo-style offers partly a songwriting that bottoms out at
students’ level. The guys based in Erfurt (Germany) have
engaged the bass-position indeed, for it the drums are programmed
on this release. In the end the whole thing sounds substandard.
Instead of cult-advances Evening Feast smells crude
and like a hasty reaction. And the hasty reaction develops to
a nonstarter when sussing out the artwork and the lyrical body.
The BURNING BUTTHAIRS just copied the Macabre image. The
Chicago sickos’ definitely don’t own the sole rights
of using the serial-killer performance, but they master it absolutely
perfect. In the overall context tracks like Bizarre Killer
(Ed Gein) or The Cannibal (Albert Fish) aren’t of
use. Despite all sympathy for the BURNING BUTTHAIRS, this
release is immaterial.
