HARLOTS – This is the Second Death

reviewed by Seth Gotro | Thursday, June 21st, 2007

harlots_thisIt sure is. I should’ve known this wasn’t going to be high-end when I got the press sheet out and it’s a torn up, scrap of paper out of the recycling bin. No shit! Yet another act that can’t decided if they want to be Fear Factory or Dillinger Escape Plan or Napalm Death. Why can’t people pick a genre and stick with i!? Anyhow, I for one am sick to death of listening to a train wreck set to music. I’m all for speed and death metal, and thrash has its place, too, but this is a weak-ass recording from a pretty shitty, generic band. Listening to this reminds me of being forced to listen to buttfuck punker kids who threw a band together four days before an “all ages” show. One song is completely indiscernible from another; total garbage. Oh wait, I will take that back, you can tell it’s another song starting because of the wind-and-guns-firing samples followed by some “classical” guitar work circa-Metallica Master of Puppets — you know what I’m talking about; the bits they practiced hard at to play for drunk girls to show how deep and dark their souls really are? Yeah. That bullshit. I get a vision of those inbreds from Gummo when I listen to this. If you’ve seen that movie, you know exactly what I am talking about when I said that. If it’s not completely apparent, this disc sucks some serious ass.
