The Bearer And Flesh
(Grindcore)
Label: FDA Records
Format: (LP)
Release: 06.10.2023
Genre fans had to wait four years for the new work by the Austrian Death/Grind squadron DISTANCE wait. So this album also fell victim to the Corona break, because without live performances, which the Linzers are currently working on once more, there wasn’t much point in releasing it for the band. But now the time has come and the wait for this madness with the resounding name “The Earner And The Flesh” was definitely worth it.
“Der Erträger Und Das Fleisch”, an album that is so full of BlastBeats that your ears are ringing following two or three songs. But if following these first shots, which hit you with heavy vocals in the best grindcore style, you think that the whole thing might become somehow monotonous, DISTASTE will teach you otherwise. “Geiferloch” begins atmospherically with sawing riffs and doomy undertones, before those inhuman blast beats from Yannick (BEHIND THE MASK) overwhelm everything once more and Armin Schweiger (including ENDONOMS, KRAMURI) in a hoarse, angry voice: “You take the water from my table, but you can’t get my meat,” shouts. In general, it’s worth taking a closer look at Armin’s lyrics. Even if they aren’t always understandable, he once once more delivers a varied and intense vocal performance.
No matter whether it’s Grind, Death, Doom or Black, he always has the right nuances with him. Given the varied band resume, which he can demonstrate as a singer, guitarist and often a drummer, that’s no surprise. “Der Erträger” then whips forward quickly and has an almost rock-like undertone, but delivers intense melodies from the BM corner. There is heavy stomping in “Fleischlawine Eisentod” until the blast tank rolls everything down once more, “Das Leid und Sein Gift” takes the tempo back towards doom and in “Faschrist” Yannick turns it up once more and you wonder how he does it Man that actually lasts. The intense “Theresa” with dark undertones and surprisingly modern riffs also provides variety, while the final “Das Kalte Bein” brings this rollercoaster ride of an album to an epic and threatening end. But there are no gaps in between, because DISTASTE shoot everything short and small, but always with brains and system. Even in 75-second songs like “Sisyphus” or “Sieben”, the Upper Austrians effortlessly manage to set enough accents and deliver enough messages to stay in your head for the long term.
With “Der Erträger Und Das Fleisch” DISTASTE manage to catapult themselves to a new level and do not need to shy away from international comparisons with the greats of the genre. Great grind cinema, and a little more!
