Biography:
“The Meatfückers formed at the end of 2005-early 2006 in Guadaljara, Jalisco Mexico, with the main purpose of doing something different (both visually and musically) to what was happening on the local metal scene. For several years Rev. Damage (Bass) and Iracundo (Guitar) had wanted to create a sadomasochistic band adding a theatrical show (influenced by the live shows seen on video that had a great impact on them like Venom, Lizzy Borden’s metal murderer road show) and of course which created the best songs possible focusing on thrash metal with hooks and as a final ingredient: sexual/pornographic song lyrics.
The first incarnation of the band was a 5 piece featuring Rev. Dañado on Bass, Iracundo on Rhythm Guitar, Hereje Romántico on drums Aparecido ”Whore caller on Lead Guitars” and el Viejo Cochino on vocals. After just a few weeks the lead guitar player left the band missing the band's debut show in 2007 opening for Cannibal Corpse. Following the debut show, Aparecido re-joined the band which then set out to write and record its first album. Whilst the band were writing for the first album, they released a DVD of the first live show entitled “Porn to be Wild”. In November 2007 the band entered the studio to record the self-produced debut album “Gang Bang from Hell”. Shortly after recording the album, the band released a limited edition CD single entitled “Sex Overlords” with the song “Pornorama” and which also contained a cover of Motley Crue's “Looks that Kill” In 2010 the band secured a distribution deal with the Mexican label Asenath Records and “Gang Bang from Hell” was released in November 2011.
Since their first show the band have had considerable live experience opening for bands such as CRYPTOPSY, DIVINE HERESY, INSIDIOUS DISCREPANCY, IMPIETY and AGENT STEEL as well as sharing the stage with numerous Mexican bands”
Intro – Dead by Cumshots!
Opening with rather a lot of atmospherics and an evil chant it then bursts into life with a gargling type of vocal associated with the black metal genre, and although musically it soars the heights it does not really spark anything exciting.
Childsodomy
This track has a lot more ‘edge’ than the previous one and yet again possesses a low guttural growling vocal that sadly uses its existing tools to create a somewhat repetitive track which is a shame.
Hookers Parade
This track has a very different stance musically and not riding along its black metal vein but using a thrash tempo, surprisingly enough to low tuned growls which works quite well and gives the track a definite peak above the previous two.
Teens for Cash
This sounds quite Sabbath orientated and who can’t resist a Sabbath riff? Although I would be surprised if Ozzy could ever sing that low! But I really appreciate that beat with its heavy persistent bass and screaming guitar be it only brief.
Satanic Bitch
As you would expect the apple does not fall far from the tree andThe Meatfückers have returned to their comfort zone of black metal orientation however the thrash elements contained within its structure are really uplifting on this track.
Euroslut
Some nice deep penetrating bass with provocative riffs are a most welcome sound as this track really explodes with a good surge of energy and holds a lot of brooding passion within an accelerated force.
Wanted – Wife for Rent
Unusual title and also an unusual track once again possessing thrashy black elements together which seems to work quite well as mentioned previously. Consisting of a thumping rhythm and low gargling growls to a high octane build-up of sonic riffs that then fade into obscurity it is a good wholesome track.
Pornorama
Another interesting title for a track. The guitar here is just stunning and the first time on the album that the guitar has shone. Quite atmospheric and combined with an impressive array of percussion be it done by machine.
To Sum up:
There is certainly no shortage of bands out there who will shock you not only with their unusual blend of music but on looks too. The Meatfückers have certainly gone out of their way to bring to the fore some BDSM elements into the mix that seems to fit in well into their blend of speed/thrash metal, wearing masks and studs, but have not brought anything new to the scene by doing so, however, not a lot of bands make the effort these days so can’t knock the ones who do! But none the less they will still impress you with their explicit lyrics, stark Satanic, sexual references and BDSM influencing their imaginations, trapped within their chaotic intent and clearly shown on the cover of their album Gang Bang from Hell a reversed pentagram, which we all know to be the sign of Satan.
Their cleverly thought up titles as well as band name will no doubt raise an eyebrow or two and will no doubt provoke a bit of interest along the way to see what they are all about.
However, the band have captured a lot of genres within their album touching on death metal, speed metal and thrash but mainly black and mixed it into their tracks which give the listener a lot to focus on and so it is never truly dull. The low growls are stunning as they are menacing and musically cages a rampant tendency that borders a prowling intensity – one cannot simply ignore this fact and therefore, all things considered deserve a listen at least, and no doubt will churn up a few more likes to their ever growing fan base.
8½/10
