FINAL DOCTRINE Antichrist Autocracy CASSETTE (Primal Vomit) 5.99Real short but real brutal, the Antichrist Autocracy cassette is one of the latest offerings of filthy, chaotic violence from the Primal Vomit camp, a four song Ep/demo from the duo Final Doctrine, whose name and visual aesthetic and blown-to-fuck blackened grind all point to a major appreciation of the more twisted fringes of Canadian black/death, especially the totalitarian blast-hate of Revenge. These guys wrench this style into their own crude, barbaric vision though, spitting out a fairly focused onslaught of anti-Xtian, Darwinian bile over an incredibly mangled guitar attack and the frenzied drumming that constantly shifts from top-speed blasting to weird tribal rhythms to thrashy beats that sound like they could have been lifted off of a hardcore punk record. The bookend songs ("Antichrist Autocracy" and "Eradication Proclamation") are vicious, grinding blasts, but the two songs in the middle are where Final Doctrine really pour on the insanity. Starting with the spasmodic deathblast of "Dawn Of Impiety", the duo break down into a wall of quasi-tribal drumming and amorphous, seething guitar that turns into virtual black noise, picks this right up with the beginning of "Contagion Riddance" amid a roar of tar-soaked amplifier vomit and squirming death metal riffing, then launches into a savage overdriven blastwar on the otherside that pushes this sound about as close to pure blurr as it can without degenerating into total noisecore. Fuckin' tough.
