专辑介绍

by William York

Nasum's fourth full-length, Shift continued a prolific period for the band, who released Helvete in 2003 and also had members pitch in on Regurgitate's 2003 release Deviant -- meaning they had a hand in two of the top handful of grindcore releases to come out that year. Despite its title, Shift is not a change in direction for the band like its predecessor was; in fact, at first some fans might be a little disappointed at how similar it feels to Helvete, which was a noticeable advance from the previous album, Human 2.0. The same combination of punishing, abrasive grindcore, strategically placed mid-tempo breakdowns, and classic Swedish death metal overtones is still present here, and the production is also similar. Then again, if you are a fan of quality grindcore, neither of those aspects is a negative, so what's there to complain about? Standout track &Wrath& is a mostly mid-tempo number with a mosh pit ready riff on par with Human 2.0's &The Idiot Parade,& while more strictly grindcore songs such as &The Deepest Hole& and &Fury& once again demonstrate the subtle melodic riffing prowess that separates Nasum from so many tuneless grindcore bands. &The Engine of Death& finds them stepping out of their customary four/four time on its blastbeat sections, and adds some fantastic harmonized lead guitar work during the solo, a rare event for this very hardcore-punk-inspired band. There are a couple of annoying moments, namely the broken-record screams on &Fight Terror With Terror& and the climactic ending of &The Smallest Man,& in which they scream, &You're such a whore!& -- sounding like an immature teenage hardcore band for a brief moment. Two iffy tracks, along with five or six exceptional ones and about 16 more that are also very, very good is still not a bad ratio, though. Nasum, along with Regurgitate, labelmates Pig Destroyer and fellow Swedes Asterisk*), is one of the best grind bands going as of the mid-2000s, and while Shift is not their most groundbreaking release, it is another strong album.
