Leng Tch'e - MarasmusRelapse Records
The Belgian grindcore band Leng Tche's latest CD is a pummeling punch in the face. Grindcore can get pretty repetitive, but that's not a problem on this album. Leng Tch'e adds death metal, stoner metal and hardcore to the mix to make an extreme and extremely potent concoction.

Marasmus barrels along at warp speed with barrages of blast beats, but also slows the tempo without lowering the intensity. The songs are powerful and brutal, but also have some melodic riffs and even a hook or two.

There are a lot of different vocal styles used on the album, from unintelligible death metal cookie monster growls to high pitched screams to hardcore shoutalongs. Leng Tch'e is a band with a unique style and sound that extreme music fans will appreciate.
