I've recently received the Finnish grindcore combo Deathbound's third blasterpiece titled "We deserve much worse" released through Dynamic Arts Records. I don't really know what the title would be about or so, I find it hard to believe that this band will receive any deep or mean criticism concerning this album. "We deserve much worse" holds eighteen songs of breathtaking whirlwinds that end up after thirty-two minutes. That leaves me with the fact that the songs lengths are strictly reduced to somewhere around one and a half minute - fantastic! I will immediately throw myself into this journey of sick and twisted shape of excellent grindcore. For that's what’s about, great grindcore that becomes even more interesting when the "grind meter" peaks at red. The fine thing about Deathbound is that they are extremely well balanced in their songwriting, many are the times that I got fooled by the idea that it's a typical Malevolent Creation arrangement in a song, to later realise that the borders to grindcore already has been broken, crushed and left behind in ashes. "We deserve much worse" is at many times a lesson in extreme violence with good screams and guttural vocal patterns from vocalist Kai that really add a raw touch to the whole sound. Good musicianship of course, and above all, good composing with interesting arrangements on both drums (Rotten Sound’s Sami Latva) and strings. A vital ingredient for this kind of heavy music grindcore must have some amount of delicacy in order to feel interesting to me and the songs on this album are in my ears filled with extreme brilliance. Deathbound makes me look backwards for giants as Napalm Death and Terrorizer but what's more important is the fact that I see or hear a new dreadful dawn rising. Extremely well organized chaos!
