Fed up and tired on all deadly serious Metal wannabes?
Well, swedish grind commanders Birdflesh will easily cure you in one
un-lucky orgy of banalities. Mongo Musicale is the intellectual title
on Birdflesh's third full-length album since the madness began back
in 1993. Mongo Musicale is a constant mental hangover which consists
of songs recorded during a period of November 2005 'til February 2006
and is released via swedish Dental Records.
Many things can be said about Birdflesh, a positive thing
is that they are a hell of band to see and hear live. With an album
it's a bit different I would say. The funny-meter doesn't exactly peak.
Their outrageous behaviour and violent, well played hybrid of death
and grind feels strictly amputated in the stereo format. I guess that
Smattro Ansjovis and the rest of the gang work really hard to give a
picture of themselves as a bunch of imbeciles. But their abilities to
handle their instruments show another side, three very competent musicians
which just happen to do their best in order to look silly.
And it works, Birdflesh could be magnificent but ironically
they manage to overwork their material into something that feels just
a bit too much experimental lunacy and I'm getting bored. If they had
done their thing, extremely raw death/grind or even the outrageous flirting
with Macabre, it would be just fine. But to be tormented through a whole
album with the kind of kindergarten material that sometimes appears
is just too much.
Best songs, or whatever its meant to be called, are the die hard The
Day Hell Came To Town and the catchy Moonwalk Massacre. Birdflesh are
best experienced live on stage.
