The Fine Art Of Murder And Malevolence

Review Score: (10/10)
This is one of my favorite Malevolent Cretion albums in my collection. I bought it in late 1998. During this time, the band went through another line-up change. Jason Blachowicz is kicked out of the band and Brett Hoffman, Rob Berrett and Dave Calross are back in the fold. So things look good and it shows on this album because it delivers.

Now for my review. With this album, it is another new direction for the band. However, the production and sound do suffer a little because the drums are turned up a little bit higher but that doesn't at all take away any of the essential elements of the band. The power, heaviness, brutality, assault, aggression and intensity are still here and the instriments still destroy. There are also many great highlights throughout the album like keyboards on the titled track as well as a "sort of" ballad called Day Of Lamentation. This is very unusual song for the band. Don't worry, it's not a love song and the band is not going mainstream but it's a song is about regret. It features some accoustic parts and heavy parts but it's all Malevolent Creation. So all in all, it's a mandatory purchase for both Malevolent Creation and brutal death metal die-hards. Definitely worth picking up. Some of my favorite songs here are To Die Is At Hand, Dissect The Eradicated, Mass Graves, The Fine Art Of Murder, Fracture, Rictus Surreal, Day Of Lamentation and Scattered Flesh. Buy this album and experience the fine art of murder. You'll enjoy it.
