Bestial Mockery - Slaying The Life
Review by Ellaine Royo
Bestial Mockery's album Slaying The Life is a brutal and unrelenting assault on the senses. From start to finish, the band delivers a barrage of fast-paced, aggressive black metal that will leave listeners breathless.
The album's production is raw and unpolished, giving it a truly authentic feel that is often missing from modern metal releases. The guitars are razor-sharp, the drums thunderous, and the vocals are delivered with a ferocity that is truly awe-inspiring.
Despite its uncompromising sound, Slaying The Life is not without its moments of melody and atmosphere. Tracks like "The Ecstasy of Holocaust" and "Satan's Devilsaw" showcase the band's ability to craft haunting, atmospheric passages that add depth and texture to their otherwise unrelenting sound.

About Bestial Mockery
Bestial Mockery was formed in 1995 by Master Motorsåg and Warslaughter to channel perverted lusts for Satanic bloody Metal. Soon afterwards Doomanfanger joined and the band exercised their minimal music skills for a year and a half before releasing the "Christcrushing Hammerchainsaw" demo in 1997.
The following year saw the release of the second black mass "Chainsaw Demons Return

Summary by Ellaine Royo
Comments
2023-04-13
The band's fourth and final album, 2007, Slaying the Life, is more of the same D#-tuned Death/Black Metal with no particular element of note: no wonder they disbanded in 2008, tentatively reforming in 2011 for a year only.
