Dim Mak - The Emergence of Reptilian Altars
Four full length albums into a 15-year career and this New Jersey group borne from the ashes of Ripping Corpse still have yet to fully emerge from the bowels of obscurity. The fact is they’ve never really been that good. Talented? Yes, of course. This is after all John Longstreth (Origin, Gorguts, ex-Angelcorpse, ex-Skinless, ex-The Red Chord, etc) on drums. Still, they’ve always had the feel of a band playing music just for the sake of playing music. The Emergence of Reptilian Altars does nothing to distance them from this theory. New frontman Joe Capizzi might be the worst vocalist I’ve ever heard. To even call him a vocalist is being polite. Somebody needs to teach this fucking clown what a vocal pattern is and how to use one. It sounds like he’s just angrily shouting random words with no regard for the music whatsoever. Speaking of the music, it equally blows monkey scrotum. Happy Thrash with a thousand happy guitar solos. Absolutely sickening. Yes, it’s no small feat to successfully mesh groove and technicality, but it’s all for naught when the end result is about as powerful and moving as the heaviest rendition of “Happy Birthday” on record. If you’re into upbeat, lightweight, completely non-threatening Death Metal and you want to have a one-sided, half hour-long conversation with a tone deaf Joe Capizzi, here’s your Album of the Year.

You’re an asshole Jack. This is the most pointless review ever. Shame you can’t see yourself in the mirror ‘cause of all the zit juice you splashed on it, you worthless piece of crap.

Pointless review. Not to mention, you sure act like you know your shit for someone who gives good ratings to shitty metalcore bands like Born of Osiris, Unearth or Winds Of Plague (Seriously?!?!?!) and negative ratings for bands such as !T.O.O.H! or this band. Just want to say that your opinions are void and you have no credibility at all.
Stop posting shitty fucking reviews and listen to better music (aka not generic, soulless metalcore garbage) you dumb ignorant faggot.

Good words Jack!
It’s about time someone stopped kissing shaune kelley’s ass and gave him a true review of how shit his “death metal” really is.

Oh shit, looks like “ortptel” and Martin got their panties in a bunch! Watch out!
I don’t understand Jack’s fascination with Metalcore, either, but he’s on the fuckin money about what a joke this album is, especially the vocals.
And how “pointless” was his review if it’s stirred up some comments?

“Fatgirlslovetalkinshit” must really be Shaune Kelley. Who else could be so in love with a worthless band like Dim Mak?
What a thin skinned little bitch.
