HEMOPTYSIS – Misanthropic Slaughter

Maybe as my years advance my tolerance level for certain trends goes by the wayside. Arizona’s Hemoptysis possess a killer growler in guitarist Masaki Murashita – he could be a distant Ron Royce twin in his maniacal phrasing and inflections. Outside of that though, musically the four piece follow a lot of the new breed of thrash/groove acts a la Skeltonwitch and Toxic Holocaust – rendering songs such as “The Cycle” and “M.O.D.” mechanical and devoid of the originality (or excellence in execution) factors necessary to gain more than a quick glance.
