Brutal, extreme and violent, Ripped in Half is a decleration of war from Brighton-based
metallers Subservience. This 4 track EP shows that British death metal is
healthy and remains a force to be reckoned with on the metal scene.
Subservience’s songs are all fast-paced, riff-led and full
of double-kick drum barrages which never let up. The music is loud and in your
face. The songs are all stripped back and no frills, 3 of them clocking in at
little over 3 minutes, and the bonus track ‘Round 1, Fight!’ is only 10 seconds
long.
There are few compromises or areas where they give in to
technical wizardry alone- solos are minimal, and the majority of the album
focuses on the angry, tight sound of the band as a whole.
Overall this EP is as good as any other extreme metal that I
have heard recently; completely brutal, understated and unrelenting.
7/10
