Deranged - Cut Carve Rip Serve
Three years after 2008’s The Redlight Murder Case, Deranged has returned with their 8th full-length album, and first for ever-growing US label, Sevared. This aptly-named band has always gone somewhat against the Swedish Death Metal grain by relying more on brutality and sickness over writing truly memorable songs. That may sound more critical than I intend it to. All I mean is that while Deranged has never let me down, and I proudly own their entire catalog, I’d be hard pressed to remember too many of their riffs. And after several listens, this new LP is no different, even literally repeating the past with the final track, a re-recorded version of “Flesh Rebel,” originally from 2001’s self-titled disc. While Cut Carve Rip Serve is playing, asses are kicked nonstop, and heads are banged; but the instant it’s over… well.. out of ears, out of mind. I will never tire of this kind of Death Metal, but there is a way to make the songs more memorable without sacrificing intensity, and the bands that know how to do that are the true elite.
