Body Collector - Hot News

Review by Jody Cowan

Body Collector's latest album, Hot News, is a powerful and intense addition to their discography. From the opening track, "Breaking News," listeners are hit with a wall of heavy riffs and pounding drums that set the tone for the entire album.

The band's signature blend of death metal, thrash, and hardcore is on full display throughout Hot News, with tracks like "Sensationalism" and "Fearmonger" showcasing their ability to seamlessly shift between blistering speed and crushing heaviness.

One standout track is "Media Circus," which features guest vocals from legendary death metal vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse. Fisher's guttural growls add an extra layer of brutality to an already intense track.

Lyrically, Hot News tackles themes of media sensationalism, political corruption, and societal decay, with tracks like "Fake News" and "The Great Deception" pulling no punches in their critique of the current state of the world.

Summary by Jody Cowan

Hot News is a strong and uncompromising album from one of the most exciting bands in modern metal. Fans of Body Collector's previous work will not be disappointed, and newcomers to the band will find a thrilling and visceral introduction to their sound.
